LAKERS vs 76ERS (POST-GAME REPORT)

LAKERS 93 - 76ERS 94


Stinger. A "stinger" is when you get stung and it hearts. Iggy's last shot at the buzzer was probably the biggest "stinger" to the Lakers this season.

There's no excuse, the Lakers blew an 11 point lead and didn't play hard tonight. There was definitely a different level of intensity compared to Sunday's game against the Mavs.

Pau had a great effort, 25 points 8 rebs and 6 assists. Lamar pitched in 14 points with 11 rebounds. Our MVP was held to only 11 points after sitting in foul trouble, even after hitting a probable winning shot, Kobe had a horrible game. Trevor Ariza was having another stellar night, until he decided not to use the teams foul to give. 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and a defensive lapse that will haunt him for awhile. 18 L.A. turnovers compared to 9 Philly turnovers. We got to take care of the ball.

Next up, the Golden State Warriors. There's a lot of chaos going on with that team, but they always act like they're capable of beating the Lakers. I expect the Lakers to let them know they're in a league of their own. Lakers should be pretty pissed, and even if it's going to be a high-scoring game, expect the Lakers to take their frustrations out on the Warriors.
