The Philadelphia 76ers may have lost to the Washington Wizards on Monday in what was a disappointing effort considering they were coming off two impressive wins, but Joel Embiid kept a road scoring streak going and tied an NBA legend in the process.
Embiid put up 32 points and was the only consistent source of offense on Monday. That was the 11th straight road game he has scored at least 30 points, which extends his franchise record and ties Michael Jordan on the all-time leaders list.
Jordan had a streak of 11 consecutive road games with 30 or more points in 1996. He had a streak of 12 consecutive games in the 1986-87 season. James Harden has the longest streak in NBA history (18 games).

The fact the big fella continues to put up these numbers is something to behold. Embiid has been dominant in all facets of the game, and he has to keep it going.
