Kevin Durant had priceless reaction to Joel Embiid scoring 70 points

Embiid lit up the Spurs with 59 points through three quarters. San Antonio kept the game close enough for the reigning MVP to play up until the final minute and pad his point total.

Embiid went 24/41 from the field and 21/23 from the free-throw line to complete his 70-point masterpiece. Perhaps the Sixers star was motivated by Spurs coach Gregg Popovich’s humorous threat before tipoff.

Durant didn’t have a bad night himself. The Suns forward tallied 43 points including the game-winner to beat the Bulls 115-113 at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Ariz.

Durant’s 43 points would be the headline on most other nights. But on Monday, Embiid matched him with 8:27 left in the third quarter.

Even Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns, who scored 62 points on Monday, eclipsed Durant’s 43 by halftime. But unlike Durant and Embiid, KAT and the T-wolves were ripped apart by their head coach after the game.
