Slovenian ace Luka Dončić played only 16 minutes before he awkwardly stopped, limped off the floor and never returned to the game. Before the injury, Dončić recorded ten points, four rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes.
The hero of the meeting was Austin Reaves, who in his second game after a long break due to injury came off the bench and scored 35 points for the Sixers, including five three-pointers. Veteran LeBron James scored 17 points and dished out ten assists for the Lakers, who ended Philadelphia’s five-game winning streak.
Joel Embiid scored 35 points for the visitors, who squandered a 14-point lead and then almost came back from a 16-point deficit in the second half, while Tyrese Maxey added 26 points and 13 assists. In the end, it wasn’t enough to prevent the Sixers from losing for the first time since January 26.
