Watch: Embiid waves goodbye to Bulls fans after drilling dagger 3
Joel Embiid celebrated a clutch three Saturday against the Chicago Bulls the best way he knows how.
With just over 15 seconds left and the 76ers up five, Embiid rose up above both Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic and calmly drilled a trey that effectively put the Bulls away for good. During Chicago's ensuing timeout, Philadelphia's star center added insult to injury for Bulls fans by waving them goodbye as he walked back up the court.
