Joel Embiid went off on Sunday night.
The 76ers' star big man scored a career-high 59 points in Philadelphia's 105-98 win over the Utah Jazz at the Wells Fargo Center, nearly half of which he put up in the fourth quarter. He was just shy of a triple-double, adding 11 rebounds, eight assists and seven blocks, which also matched his career high. Embiid is the first person in recorded league history to drop at least 50 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five blocks in a game. The 76ers were down six points at halftime before tying the game entering the final period. That’s when Embiid, who was already having a solid outing, turned it on. Embiid scored 26 of his 59 points in the final quarter, including a late 19-foot jumper to put the Jazz out of reach in the final minute. He was the only 76er to score in about the final seven minutes of the game, and he accounted for all but one of the 76ers' points in the quarter. The win was, undoubtedly, all on Embiid. Embiid finished shooting 19-of-28 from the field and 20-of-24 from the free-throw line. Tyrese Maxey was the only other 76er to score in double figures Sunday. He finished with 18 points, and shot 8-of-24 from the field. Outside of Embiid, Danuel House was the only other Sixer to reach the free-throw line. Malik Beasley scored 18 points off the bench to lead Utah. Lauri Markkannen and Collin Sexton each added 15 points, and Kelly Olynyk finished with 14 for the Jazz, who have lost two straight.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
