Safe to say, Joel Embiid was simply breath-taking as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Chicago Bulls for the second time in the NBA 2021-22 Season. Moreover, the marquee Sixers’ man went onto register 30 points along with 15 rebound against his name. On the other hand, the home team were led by their charismatic Zach LaVine as he scored game-high 32 points in United Center. 

However, the marquee Joel Embiid caused an accidental play which could have knocked out Bull’s Chicago Bulls in explicit manner. Knowing that the former wears his heart on his sleeve and doesn’t hold back in showing his emotions. An accident occurred when the referee blew the whistle, Embiid swung his hand in frustration and little did he know that Lonzo Ball was making his way into the paint, as his hand missed it by a whisker.
