All in all, things were good for the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday against the Phoenix Suns. The Sixers won by a final score of 119-114 to improve to 12-7 on the season, Joel Embiid scored 33 points, Ben Simmons added 19, and Jimmy Butler pitched in 16.
However, there was one moment for Joel Embiid that he's going to want to forget.
Embiid tried to please the crowd by doing a windmill dunk, but the All-Star big man missed, and Ben Simmons couldn't help but laugh:

Joel Embiid's blunder is going to make Shaqtin' A Fool. It wouldn't be a surprise if Sixers head coach Brett Brown has a talk with him after the game. It's a good thing the Sixers and Embiid had a great game, otherwise those two missed points could have been costly.
Along with his 33 points, Embiid grabbed 17 rebounds. The talented center has to be considered an MVP candidate at this point. He's been one of the most consistent players all season and is leading the Sixers to a lot of big wins.
Ben Simmons, meanwhile, hasn't slowed down since winning Rookie of the Year last season. The lefty registered 11 rebounds and nine assists against the Suns, falling one assist shy of a triple-double.
