The Los Angeles Lakers scored a 101-94 win against the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA game on Friday night. Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 23 points and 19 rebounds, while D’Angelo Russell set a franchise record for the most 3-pointers in a single season. LeBron James contributed 20 points, eight rebounds, and six assists, helping the Lakers break a seven-match losing streak against the 76ers dating back to March 3, 2020.
The Lakers’ James and Davis scored 11 and nine points respectively during the fourth quarter, despite a robust challenge from the Philadelphia side. In a closely contested match where no team led by double digits, the Lakers endured 21 turnovers in their lowest scoring game of the season. “Ugly, but we got the job done,” commented James.
Russell’s record for the most 3-pointers in a single season comes in his second term with the Lakers, following a stint as a rookie alongside Kobe Bryant in 2015. His record-breaking 184th 3-pointer came during the first quarter and ultimately helped the Lakers secure their seventh victory in their last 11 games.
Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey scored 22 of his 27 total points in the second half. Despite a strong contribution from Kelly Oubre Jr. and Tobias Harris, who scored 19 and 16 points respectively, the 76ers have lost seven of their last 10 matches. Their MVP, Joel Embiid, has been noticeably absent in these matches.
Despite being a difficult match for both teams, the result marked a notable performance from the Lakers, specifically Russell. His record-setting 3-pointer tally coupled with a spirited team performance saw the Lakers end their losing streak against the 76ers. The win strengthens the Lakers’ standing as they look ahead to future fixtures.

Are Lakers the real deal or just lucky? Lets debate, friends! 🏀
The Lakers are the real deal, no question about it. Theyve got talent, chemistry, and the drive to win. Luck has nothing to do with it when youve got LeBron James leading the way. Case closed, my friend. 🏀 #LakeShow #NBA
Is it just me or did the Lakers really dominate the 4th quarter? 🤔🏀
Nah, it wasnt domination, just a solid performance. The Lakers kept their composure and executed well down the stretch. Lets give credit where its due without exaggerating. It was a good showing, but lets not blow it out of proportion. Great game overall though! 🏀👍

Do Lakers have the best duo in the league? Lets debate!
The Lakers duo is good, but not the best in the league. The Nets have Durant and Harden, the Bucks have Giannis and Middleton, and the Clippers have Kawhi and PG. Lets be real, there are stronger duos out there. Let the debate continue!
