The Philadelphia 76ers big man landed a rim-shattering dunk over Westbrook’s head early in his team’s 122-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.

Westbrook took his own shot at Embiid when he began just dribbling in place in the final seconds while staring down Embiid to run down the clock.

The Thunder (30-20) now have eight straight victories and are fifth in the Western Conference. The Sixers had won two straight and eight of ten entering Sunday. Oklahoma City will next visit Washington on Tuesday night, while Philadelphia will visit Milwaukee on Monday.
