Russell Westbrook scores 24 points and Dwight Howard (24) and Malik Monk (23) lead a spirited effort from the supporting cast, but the Lakers lose for the 11th time in 15 games, 126-121.
LOS ANGELES — From the moment they took the court against the nearly full-strength Philadelphia 76ers, the odds were stacked against the Lakers enough that the loss was already being penciled in.
“I think this game, we’re disappointed we lost,” Coach Frank Vogel said. “But without Bron, without A.D., the group that played tonight showed everyone that we still have a whole lot of fight left in us.” Stanley Johnson said the loss to Toronto, in which they fell behind 21-2 in the first quarter, forced the team to look in the mirror.
Still, despite being without their top two scorers, the Lakers wound up shooting 51.5% against the second-place team in the Eastern Conference. While Embiid and Harden seemed to seize up late in the game with back and leg injuries, respectively, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris helped close out a victory late.
