The game was into its final minutes as the Lakers fell behind by 16 points. While going down the stretch, everything seemed fine.

Philadelphia fans can be hostile and this isn’t the first instance of such drama. Last season, Westbrook also had an incident where a Philly fan threw popcorn at him as he was walking down the tunnel.

While there was bad blood, the purple and gold were not on their best tonight. Apart from the duo of Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis, no one contributed much. The duo combined for 51 points out of the 87 and carried most of the load. Apart from Malik Monk, no other Laker went into double digits for the night as they shot a combined 41% from the floor.

For the Sixers, Tobias Harris came in big time leading the scoring with 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. After struggling early on, Joel Embiid also picked things up, ending the game with 20 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 blocks. The Sixers shot well from both the floor and downtown as they took a convincing 105-87 win at home.
