The Sixers will stay in Los Angeles and play the Clippers on Friday night. Here are observations on their win over the Lakers: Embiid began the game facing Howard, his backup last season. When the Sixers visited Los Angeles last year, the 36-year-old was ejected in consecutive games.
The Lakers mixed in zone defense and Embiid earned a deep catch against it late in the second quarter. Johnson grabbed Embiid instead of conceding a layup and the five-time All-Star then immediately held his lower back, a somewhat worrisome sight given his recent back soreness. Embiid missed the ensuing free throws and grimaced several times over the next few minutes. He helped the Sixers take a nine-point halftime lead but again reached for his back as soon as the second-quarter buzzer sounded.
That was as good as the night got for Los Angeles, though. Korkmaz’s baseline jumper cut the Sixers’ deficit to 41-40. After an 18-point game against Miami, Korkmaz stayed in the Sixers' full-strength, 10-man rotation and scored six points on 3-for-4 shooting. Georges Niang shifted from a starting role back to the bench and sunk three long-distance shots in the first quarter.
We'll see whether Rivers further experiments with lineups that feature zero All-Stars. Perhaps Maxey can make those viable in some instances. Following a 2-for-10 first half from the floor, Harden found a scoring groove in the third quarter.
