The Philadelphia 76ers big man has always been fierce both on and off the court, and on Monday, he brought his A-game again as they manhandled the Indiana Pacers at home, 130-114. The four-time All-Star again dominated his counterpart as he limited Pacers center Myles Turner to just 11 points and three boards.</p><p>Embiid brought his savagery to his postgame interview with a blatant (but respectful) flex on Turner (via <a href="https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1366581354662555656">Hoop Central</a>).</p><blockquote>“I say this respectfully, that that’s a matchup I’ve dominated since I got to the league.”</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“I say this respectfully, but that’s a matchup I’ve dominated since I got to the league.”</p><p>– Joel Embiid on his matchup against Myles Turner. </p><p> <a href="https://t.co/U04MjtnqB1" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/U04MjtnqB1</a></p><p>— Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1366581354662555656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">March 2, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Embiid led the Sixers anew with 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting on top of 13 rebounds and five assists, while limiting Turner to just a single block. The imposing Pacers big man is the NBA’s leading swats guy with an average of 3.4 rejections per outing, but his blocking prowess was absent against Embiid.</p><p>Turner’s lone block was also the Pacers’ only denial of the evening as they had trouble defending Embiid and the rest of Sixers with Shake Milton and Furkan Korkmaz lighting up the reserve unit with 26 points and 19 points, respectively. Everything was clicking for the City of Brotherly Love on Monday.</p><p>With a 23-12 record, the Sixers continue their dominance of the Eastern Conference with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/philadelphia-76ers/stats">Embiid spearheading their cause</a>. Before the game against the Pacers, the 26-year-old was posting career-highs of 30 points per game and 51.9% field goal shooting to go alongside 11.3 boards and 1.4 blocks.</p><p>Are there still any doubts why Joel Embiid is at the top of the MVP ladder?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 24-year-old elite rim protector dealt with another unruly fan recently, who insisted to ask for a $100 Venmo request to Turner thrice, in the wake of Indy’s shocking 120-112 loss to the Chicago Bulls earlier this week.</p><p>The disgruntled fan was unfairly blaming Turner for the upset and claimed that he owes him money. Turner did struggle in that game, posting just 11 points and six rebounds, but he did record six rejections.</p><p><a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30932247/indiana-pacers-myles-turner-turns-troll-attempt-texas-fundraiser" rel="noopener">Per Erick Woodyard of ESPN</a>, the Pacers talented admitted that the old him would probably snap at that stranger, but he no longer allows negativity to bring him down as he matured.</p><blockquote>“I’m finally at a point in my career where I can laugh at stuff like that,”Myles Turner said. “My first couple years in the league, I would’ve took offense to it. I would’ve been mad, I would’ve wanted to say something back, but I’ve been dealing with this for the past two or three years. I can have a great game, I can have a bad game, they love you and they hate you.”</blockquote><p>Turner eventually turned that upsetting fan request into something positive. He initially responded by sending one cent to the person as a penny for his thoughts. That response quickly grew viral and random people began sending money to the Pacers center’s account.</p><p>The league’s leading shot-blocker said he has already received around $3,500, which he will match and donate to those affected by the power outage in his home state of Texas.</p><p>While it’s nice to see Myles Turner grow as an individual, his good-natured approach has also paid dividends in his improvement as a basketball player. After being labeled a bust by some pundits and figuring in several trade rumors since last year, the former Texas Longhorn has become the ultimate anchor for the Pacers this season. Turner is a frontrunner for the Defensive Player of the Year award, notching 13.2 points,<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-news-donovan-mitchell-shows-ultimate-respect-for-patrick-beverley/" rel="noopener"> 6.6 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks in 27 games.</a></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Turner is averaging a massive 3.5 blocks per game while also racking up 1.1 steals per contest. Although he has struggled to be efficient from beyond the arc (32.5 percent on 4.4 attempts per game), Turner is scoring efficiently around the rim.</p><p>It was not long ago Turner’s future in Indiana looked to be up in the air. Some reports suggested <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2917772-myles-turner-trade-rumors-celtics-hornets-linked-to-pacers-center">multiple</a> teams had interest in the athletic Pacers big man, and there was an abundance of skepticism regarding both Turner and Victor Oladipo.</p><p>Whereas Oladipo is no longer a Pacer, Turner is probably going to be with the organization through the trade deadline. He probably needs to be more assertive in clearing the boards (6.6 rebounds per game), and the Pacers will undoubtedly hope he can convert on more of his triples.</p><p>But Turner gives Indiana a pivotal interior presence. Plus, he has savage rebuttals.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In the crucial juncture of the fourth period of the close match between the two teams at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, the 23-year-old playmaker made a beautiful defensive stop versus Myles Turner.</p><p>The Pacers center had a clear look to the paint after blowing by Pels defender Steven Adams. But Ball came over to help and contested the shot attempt without fouling, forcing Turner to adjust his shot mid-air. Despite the size disparity between the two, Ball <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1357882422369546241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1357882422369546241%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D998085action%3Dedit">successfully prevented</a> what could have been the game-winning shot for Indy.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Lonzo Ball with a huge defensive play on Myles Turner to seal the win for the Pels against the Pacers 😳<a href="https://t.co/CdttXNP9Iq" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/CdttXNP9Iq</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1357882422369546241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">February 6, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Apart from that magnificent defensive play, Lonzo Ball also had an all-around performance for the road team, finishing with 20 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and one steal. He made seven of his 13 field goals including five massive hits from downtown that really buoyed the squad during Indiana’s fourth-quarter run.</p><p>Much has been said about Ball’s offensive limitations over the years, but his size and length at his position certainly make him a pretty good defender.</p><p>Despite the solid numbers he’s been putting up for NOLA in his second year with the team, his name is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-trade-rumors-warriors-bulls-interested-in-pelicans-lonzo-ball/">still on the trade block</a> simply because he’s not the superstar everyone thought he’ll be when he was picked second overall in 2017. Nevertheless, if he continues to make winning plays and shoot the ball with confidence, Lonzo Ball will be a productive player, whether for the Pelicans or wherever he ends up.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
