The Sixers again got the late stop they needed Sunday night and picked up a 113-112 win in Los Angeles over the Lakers. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
Harden and Tobias Harris both played after being listed as questionable. The Lakers were without Anthony Davis, Patrick Beverley, Austin Reaves and Lonnie Walker IV.
The Sixers’ stars also didn’t have much trouble playing their preferred games. Embiid scored the team’s first five points on a top-of-the-key three-pointer and easy layup against Thomas Bryant. Harden then scored the next seven. He got downhill off of pick-and-rolls, varied his pace, and found soft spots in the Lakers’ defense over and over again., but Embiid always poses a massive challenge in that department.
Harris had a well-rounded stat line of 15 points, five rebounds, three assists and three blocks. He was aggressive early in the third quarter, attacking in both half court and transition. His scoring burst was valuable to remind the Lakers that the Sixers have offensive threats besides Embiid and Harden.
He split Tucker and Montrezl Harrell on the perimeter before making a rapidly spinning layup to put the Lakers ahead 90-88. James scored on the identical move a couple of minutes later.
