Embiid's involvement in this winning streak has put him alongside NBA legends Allen Iverson and Wilt Chamberlain, who racked up similar records, and Pacers coach Rick Carlisle has been impressed with how it unfolded.
"Embiid, right now, he's probably the MVP," Carlisle said. "With what their team is doing and how he's just elevated his game, he's as difficult a guy to game plan for as there is in the game. Giannis is crazy ridiculous. Jokic is the same. And this guy maybe even more difficult if that's possible.
"He had 31 points in less than three quarters. Made it look like he wasn't even trying to do it. ... He's a walking NBA cheat code right now. He's just that good."
