The Lakers couldn’t take care of business against the 76ers and fell in Philadelphia on Friday. Despite some crunch-time heroics to force OT after trailing by double digits, the team no-showed overtime to eventually lose 133-122.
This is the team’s third loss in a row, and drops them to 10-15 overall.
Austin Reaves had 25 points on 9-15 shooting, and LeBron added his own 23 points, but Joel Embiid was too dominant with 38 points and 12 rebounds, while De’Anthony Melton had the best scoring game of his NBA life, scoring a career-high 33 points to help drive Philly to victory.
