The Lakers trailed by 18 in the fourth quarter and were still down by nine with 30 seconds left, but Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and Austin Reaves helped them force OT before fading in a 133-1…
PHILADELPHIA — All any team ever asks is to fight for 48 minutes. On Friday night, down big, the Lakers never stopped fighting, punching an 18-point deficit all the way down to zero.The Lakers missed nine consecutive shots in extra time and were outscored 13-2, showing the fatigue of their unlikely comeback in an eventual 133-122 defeat to the Philadelphia 76ers.
As inspired as the comeback was, the Lakers had a chance to win in regulation. Down by two, the Lakers called a sideline out-of-bounds play to find Austin Reaves , who quickly drew a 3-point shooting foul. The 92% free-throw shooter had one roll in, one swish and one clank, but the Sixers turned the ball over as Davis jostled Embiid, and Davis made his first free throw, but missed his second, sending the game to overtime. The Lakers made 16 of 20 free throws in the fourth.
