Joel Embiid was a man possessed last night.
Maybe it was the Hollywood lights that got him motivated. I mean, he played in the same building Monday night, but the Los Angeles Clippers are a bit of a different team than the Los Angeles Lakers. Especially when it comes to the fanfare.
But Embiid didn’t let those “bright lights” falter his game. Instead, he has the best game of his career in the span of 34 minutes and 29 seconds on the court.

You read that right. Embiid scored 46 points to go along with eventually 15 rebounds, seven rebounds and seven assists. He nailed 16 of 19 free throws, and only put up 20 shots from the field.
You can watch highlights of his masterful performances below.
After the game, Embiid told us he was only at 69 percent (nice) …

… and Kevin Hart couldn’t help himself but to chant, “Trust the process!” during a post-game interview.
