Joel Embiid delivered his sixth NBA career triple double on Monday to lead Philadelphia to a 138-94 rout of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Cameroonian’s 30 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists helped inflict on LeBron James the most lopsided loss of his career.

Embiid made nine-of-15 from the floor, including 2-of-3 from three-point range, and sank 10 of his 12 free throws.

“You’re trying to play winning basket-ball,” Embiid said. When my teammates are wide open, I want to get them easy shots, just make the game easy for myself.”

The 29-year-old, seven-foot tall (2.13m) NBA Most Valuable Player last season notched his first triple double of the campaign in three quarters on the same night the 76ers made 22 three-pointers, one shy of the club record. Tyrese Maxey scored a game-high 31 points and added eight assists for the Sixers, who shot 47-of-93 from the floor and 22-of-46 from three-point range “We’re playing together. We’re having fun sharing the ball,” Embiid said.“The ball is moving. We know what we’ve got to do. It starts on defense. Once you get stops, you get in transition and get easy baskets.”—APP
