Anthony Davis scored 23 on night and followed it up with 27 against Boston Celtics after a poor run of form, which saw him failing to clear 20 points in six of eight games. Embiid's jibe is likely to have stemmed from Davis' post-game comments, where 27-year-old said that Lakers could defeat Sixers in a potential finals matchup. Both teams are currently atop ir respective Conference standings, but a lot could change over next few months.
