The Philadelphia 76ers were looking to continue their winning ways on this five-game road trip as they visited the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. It was the second night of a back-to-back for the Sixers, who began the trip in Salt Lake City with a win on Saturday.
The Lakers certainly gave Philadelphia trouble. LeBron James continues to defy logic and beat Father Time, but Joel Embiid was too much for Los Angeles to handle. The Sixers walked away with a 113-112 win to begin the road trip 2-0. Embiid had 35 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Sixers.
James Harden added 24 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds. Tyrese Maxey had 16 off the bench, and Shake Milton added eight. Tobias Harris had 15 points and three blocks in his return from a one-game absence due to injury, and Georges Niang added eight.
Here are the player grades following the win:
