The Lakers made a big comeback late in the fourth quarter against the 76ers as they erased a 16-point deficit to force an overtime.
However, the Purple and Gold were no match for Philadelphia in overtime, losing it 2-13, and losing the game (122-133). It was their third straight loss.
Despite not getting the win, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham was proud of how his team fought back and had an opportunity to win the game.
“We survived some unfortunate calls by the officials. I’m not one to blame them. Some of those foul calls were unfortunate,” Ham said after the game.
“We were turning the ball over some segments of the game, but we can get better from this. I told the team ‘I am, as disappointed as I am that we didn’t get the win, I’m still going to have a good meal and sleep like a baby tonight because of the way we competed. And we did not quit, we did not give up.'”
