The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Toronto Raptors 121-111, with Joel Embiid's 31 points and 10 rebounds extending his streak of 13 consecutive games with at least 30+ points and 10+ rebounds, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time NBA record.

Philadelphia, PA - Joel Embiid defied an ankle injury to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a dominant 121-111 win over the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Embiid's 31-point, 10-rebound performance marked the 13th straight game he's reached 30+ points and 10+ rebounds, echoing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 16-game streak in 1971-72. Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey joined the party, each scoring 33 points, making it only the second time in franchise history three 76ers players have scored 30+ in a game.

Miami, FL - Trae Young's hot streak continues, but it wasn't enough for the Atlanta Hawks against the Miami Heat. Young dropped 30 points and 13 assists for his sixth straight game with at least 30 and 10, tying the second-longest streak of its kind in NBA history, matched only by Oscar Robertson. However, Tyler Herro's 30 points led the Heat to a 122-113 victory. Duncan Robinson's 21 points in the fourth quarter proved crucial for Miami.

Sacramento, CA - Domantas Sabonis had a monster game for the Sacramento Kings, recording his fourth triple-double of the season with 28 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds. De'Aaron Fox also had a memorable performance, breaking Mike Bibby's Sacramento-era assists record in the third quarter as the Kings cruised to a 120-105 win over the shorthanded Phoenix Suns. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker led the Suns with 28 and 24 points respectively, but Phoenix's lack of key players like Bradley Beal, Josh Okogie, and Jusuf Nurkic proved too much to overcome.
