Here are some of the best reactions to Embiid and Towns’ huge nights:

With all due Respect to KDโฆ but Joel Embiid is the best Scorer in the game!!! He has mastered the offensive end and he has ZERO FLAWS offensively. What heโs doing to people on a night to night basis is ridiculous! God Bless America

KAT vs. Embiid is like one of those "you need to score 73 to win the scoring title on the last day of the season" races except it is January 22 https://t.co/lwBy4AQRSL
