Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid pestered Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond, yelling "you can't guard me" during his dominant effort in Tuesday's battle.

Embiid took it a step further, blatantly flopping after scoring over Drummond with just 42.8 seconds remaining in a tight contest, getting the Pistons big man his second technical foul and forcing him out of the contest.

Drummond got the last laugh from the locker room when teammate Blake Griffin scored the game-winning bucket. Griffin finished with a career single-game high 50 points while pushing his team to a 133-132 victory.
