Joel Embiid and Kristaps Porzingis Host Block Party in Christmas Day Game

The NBA's Christmas Day slate began with a bang, as two of the league's top up-and-coming big men squared off at Madison Square Garden.

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers got the best of Kristaps Porzingis and the New York Knicks in their 105-98 win, but Zinger blocked five shots to Embiid's three.

Embiid led the Sixers with 25 points and 16 rebounds, while Porzingis finished with 22 points and seven rebounds in 34 minutes.

The future of the NBA is in good hands with these two 7-footers.
