Let’s talk about last night!
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid was back to his normal self last night after a lot of speculation about his knee and whether he could return to his level from last season. Well, last night was definitely the EMVPIID. He’s a dominant force, especially whenever he faces the Bulls. Vucevic was never really able to guard Embiid during their matchups anyway, so that was a recipe for disaster whenever he’s in the game. He finished with 30p, 15r, 3a.
Furkan Korkmaz
Furkan Korkmaz was living up to his Turkish Delight nickname! This man is turning out to be an elite bench player that every single team would want especially when they’re making a playoff run. His shooting from three has been great, his limited point guard play has been great, and his defense is still improving. Especially when other shooters are on the floor and Embiid is occupying the middle, Korkmaz opens up a lot of the floor.
Jayson Tatum
Jayson Tatum did everything he could to will the Celtics to a win. Jaylen Brown was out so the offense naturally had to run through only Tatum. They really need a major move to happen soon or else this season could be a big boost. Tatum did finish the game with 32p, 11r, 2a, 2s.
