Embiid played really well for Philadelphia 76ers. He started the game in a really devastating way. And that was very challenging to contain for Lakers. James Harden was at the heart of everything that was happening for Philadelphia 76ers. He had really smooth coordination with both Melton and Embiid.
Embiid is really a monster in this game. He is a monster inside the paint and in the offensive, he is shooting almost perfectly on the outside and in the perimeter. And with 12 rebounds and 5 assists, no wonder the Lakers were not able to pull the win. They had the chance with the free throws in the last minute, but I guess pressure and exhaustion got Davis and Reaves in the final seconds of the regulation.
The inner Manny Pacquiao came out.
Well, that's the thing, it's a contact sport and Kuminga just acted that way because he felt like the contact was too much. Frustration really does things and sometimes it gets out of hand. I remember Jokic doing a clothesline to Cameron Payne due to frustration too as they were losing against the Suns in the playoffs, it's actually the refs that should be blamed but he took it out to another player which is wrong. Same result, flagrant 2.
I really liked the inner Manny Pacquiao got out of him, it was sure a touch that he really likes to brawl but yes frustration usually seems to get out of hand in a heated game, and with that players surely get insane stuff and I think we all know that when emotions are high intelligence is low pretty much it will surely get out of hand every player is really not immune to it, but it can surely be avoided if one has high self-control,
What to like in there? He is a basketball player and should not be acting like he always wanted to brawl when hurt. As Filipinos, we sure like when we hear Pacquiao or players displaying courage in the court or ring but this is basketball. They should not even think of punching or squaring off players on the court. It sends negative message to his young fans out there.
The Suns vs Pelicans had an interesting ending. Look it up on Twitter. Zion got the ball and did a 360 windmill dunk on a fast break after the win was already secured. This made the Suns pretty angry and nearly started a brawl. I think the Suns are a little full of themselves all the sudden. Devon Booker and Chris Paul are a couple of the biggest prima donnas in the NBA now. I dont like it
Dunk away Zion! Nobody in the NBA can do shit to you.

One of those unwritten Bush league rules. All of the drama is just jockeying for the next time they play. No one likes getting smashed in the face.
It is Pelican's court though and he did it for the fans not to butt-hurt the Suns (is what I thought. Then Zion said that the Suns sent his teammates home last year, so that windmill dunk is a get back to the Suns. Zion is keeping receipts. ). The Suns are just too sensitive when they are hurt but they also show disrespect to other teams before.
