Daily News | Sixers labor their way to 126-121 win over depleted Los Angeles Lakers | Analysis
LOS ANGELES — James Harden lay on his back under the basket, before rising and walking slightly gingerly to the 76ers’ bench on the opposite side of the court and then to their locker room.
Then after an Austin Reeves putback sliced the Sixers’ lead to 107-104 with less than six minutes remaining, Harris answered with a layup and Maxey added a driving finish and three-pointer to push the lead back to nine points with less than four minutes to play. Harden said he felt like his burst was faster in the second half, and that he “made sure I put emphasis on getting to my spots.” But he went just 1-of-6 from three-point range, including an air ball the possession after hitting his first shot from beyond the arc in the third quarter.“Confidence is still gonna be there,” Harden said. “You just got to keep working through it.
Georges Niang went 3-of-3 from beyond the arc in the first quarter to counter the Lakers’ early three-point barrage. Korkmaz and Jordan were both a perfect 2-of-2 from the floor in their second-quarter minutes. Jordan then scored five points and grabbed four rebounds in four fourth-quarter minutes before Embiid reentered, while Korkmaz delivered the a big shot to increase the Sixers’ lead to 7 points.
