Despite not having their best season in the NBA, not by a long shot, the Philadelphia 76ers managed to beat the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden on Christmas Day. It was probably their biggest win of the season, leading to the overexcitement of some. Joel Embiid was one such case.

The Sixers' star has always stood out, not only for his high level of play but also for his exaggerated reactions, often flopping to the ground, and for having a short fuse.

During the Christmas game against the Celtics, with victory already secured, Embiid made an obscene gesture towards the TD Garden crowd. The NBA has now announced that the Philly center will have to pay a $75,000 fine for that act.

The Sixers are currently 11th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 11-17. However, they have won 7 of their last 10 games. The light at the end of the tunnel is beginning to show.
