Joel Embiid was nothing short of unstoppable in the Philadelphia 76ers' 115-109 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

He scored 19 points in the fourth quarter to finish with 46 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists, and seven blocks in 34 sensational minutes. And, as always, Embiid did it with flair, wearing a huge smile. He was even shimmying in a one-point game in the fourth after scoring on a gorgeous up-and-under move.

He was a game-changing force on both ends and the Lakers had no answers for the affable Cameroonian. Lakers coach Luke Walton tried Brook Lopez, Andrew Bogut, and Julius Randle but none of them could handle Embiid on either end.
