After Action Report

The 76ers survived the Lakers 135-130. 76ers' scorers couldn't be contained. The 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
