“The Process” continues for Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. Embiid and co. came up with a messy win over the West's top-seeded Utah Jazz on Wednesday to help Philly cement their own reign over the Eastern Conference. Their 131-123 OT win over the Jazz has left Embiid feeling great as they head to the All-Star break with a 24-12 record, winning four of their last five.
After the game, Embiid shared an epic reaction to their huge statement win. The two-time All-Star picked the perfect moment from the game where he lobbied the ejection of Utah's Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell was called for his second technical foul after Embiid sold a call and drew a foul on the Jazz's Rudy Gobert.

Mitchell had the perfect response to Embiid's post-game reaction with a perfect tweet as well:
You a fool bruh 😂

The thrilling OT game between the league's top-seeded teams was marred with controversy after the Sixers were in the right end of a few questionable calls, especially in the game's final minutes. Mitchell's ejection, as well as his post-game comments, only goes to show how frustrated they were after the Sixers' win.
For Embiid, a win is a win and they'll gladly take it. Their route over Utah now helps them maintain the league's best home record of 16-3 as they continue to roll and dominate the East. Joel Embiid, for his part, had another MVP-worth performance on Wednesday for the 76ers as he erupted for 40 points and 19 rebounds.
This year's East All-Star starter is beginning to pay dividends to those who've stuck by and trusted the process with him and the Sixers over these past few years.
