76ers vs. Lakers: Play-by-play, highlights and reactions

March 24, 2022 by Hoops Hype

The Philadelphia 76ers (44-27) play against the Los Angeles Lakers (41-41) at STAPLES Center

Game Time: 10:00 PM EDT on Wednesday March 23, 2022

Philadelphia 76ers 116, Los Angeles Lakers 110 (Q4 01:57)

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Somewhat telling that Joel Embiid has no points in the fourth. The Lakers have sold out on defense to make sure the MVP candidate isn’t the guy who beats them. Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris have been the main weapons as we close out here. – 12:22 AM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Maxey with eight fourth-quarter points on 3-4 shooting, including making both three-pointers, to go with two assists and one rebound. #Sixers lead 114-105 with 3:23 left. – 12:20 AM

Dwight Howard has a season-high 22 points, including 6 of 9 FT’s, plus 8 of 13 FG’s.
LAL continue to hang around, trailing 111-105 with 4:30 to play. – 12:16 AM

Dwight Howard was talking a lot of trash from the bench in hopes to distract DeAndre Jordan at the free-throw line. After making his second foul shot, DJ playfully mouthed back to Dwight – 12:03 AM

LAL have trimmed Philly’s once 14-point lead down to 2 at 93-91 after Wenyen Gabriel beat the 3rd Q buzzer with a layup. It was a 7-0 spurt to close the period.
Meanwhile, Harden just headed to the Sixers locker room with an injury. – 11:55 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
James Harden just went back to the locker room. Meanwhile, on the court, Gabriel’s shot that rolled in right before the buzzer has the Lakers within 93-91 heading to the fourth. Sixers led by as many as 14 in the period. – 11:55 PM

This game hasn’t worked out for the Lakers, and it won’t work out for the Lakers. But given no LeBron and no AD, impressed with the toughness they’ve shown in competing. In their last home game against Toronto, they trailed 21-2 and were competitively dead in the water. – 11:43 PM

The Lakers were outscored 34-22 in the second quarter. Stanley Johnson remains LA’s leading scorer (13 points) despite not scoring in the second. Russell Westbrook has 4 points (2-8 FGs), 4 rebounds + 4 assists. PHI is winning the possession battle. – 11:14 PM

Philly turned things up defensively in the 2nd Q, outscoring LAL 34-22 to take a 61-52 lead into halftime.
LAL hit 6 3’s in the 1st Q to open Philly up, but just 1 in the 2nd, and ended up at 44.7% overall in the 1st half with 7 TO’s.
PHI shot 49%, and had just 1 turnover. – 11:11 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Lower back clearly bothering Embiid a little bit after the one foul from Stanley Johnson, could see Sam Cassell asking him about it on the sideline as well. Best thing these guys can do is throw a haymaker to open the third and finish his night early – 11:11 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Halftime: Sixers 61, Lakers 52. This game still feels like a slog, but the Sixers did have but more burst in the second quarter to create some distance. Embiid has 16 and 7. Maxey with 11. Harden is 2-of-10 from the floor. Sixers have 20 bench points. – 11:11 PM

Joel Embiid was grabbing at his back after that foul from Stanley Johnson. Embiid missed the last game with back soreness and it has been a nagging thing with him lately. #Sixers – 11:06 PM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
There really isn’t a shot Joel Embiid can’t make anymore. Low post, mid-range, three-point line — Embiid just put a half Dream Shake on Dwight Howard and swished a fallaway. He’s got the whole bag. – 11:03 PM

Not even surprising when Maxey goes on scoring runs now, just has so much to his game and flows so easily from one area of the floor to another – 10:59 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Ball movement is such a big thing for this team on the offensive end. When it’s moving and everybody’s touching it, it’s a big difference. Philly up 51-47 after a Tyrese Maxey bucket and a DeAndre Jordan role. #Sixers – 10:59 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers finally catching some offensive rhythm. Maxey with a couple buckets, before Harden found Jordan for the easy finish. Harden is 1-of-6 from the floor but already has 4 assists. – 10:59 PM

So few whistles in this game. Embiid was at the scorer’s table for forever there.
Anyway Tyrese Maxey, still shot out of a cannon. – 10:58 PM

Sixers didn’t stagger Harden & Embiid. Both have been sitting for the last ~5 minutes. May have been a situation where they didn’t get a dead ball at the right time. – 10:52 PM

Give Furkan Korkmaz credit. He’s been so far out of the rotation and now that he has his chance again, he’s playing pretty well in this opportunity. #Sixers – 10:52 PM

18 points from PHI’s bench so far. Not even halfway through the 2nd quarter yet. Infinitely more dangerous if they can get some offensive production when Harden, Embiid are off the floor. – 10:52 PM

Harden and Embiid played pretty much that whole quarter together. Didn’t go so hot, Sixers trail 30-27 as the Lakers shot 6-9 from deep.
Georges Niang keeping the Sixers in it, knocked down all three 3s. Wonder when teams are going to start switching that screen with Harden. – 10:42 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Lakers average 12.2 made threes per game. They had 6 in Q1. – 10:41 PM

Lakers 30, Sixers 27 at the end of the first. Lakers are a scorching 6-of-9 from 3, including 3-of-3 from Stanley Johnson. Embiid has 10 and 4. Niang is 3-of-3 from deep but Sixers are shooting just 9-of-24 overall. – 10:41 PM

Tremendous start to the night here for the Lakers’ Stanley Johnson. He has 13 pts on 5-for-5 shooting on offense and on the other end, has been James Harden’s primary defender, keeping the Sixers’ guard in check so far (3 pts on 1-for-6 shooting). LAL leads 30-27 after 1Q – 10:41 PM

First quarter: Lakers 30, 76ers 27
An impressive first quarter from the Lakers without LeBron James. Stanley Johnson leads them with 13 points, including 5-of-5 shooting and three 3s. Malik Monk provided a spark off the bench. They’ve moved the ball and rotated well. – 10:40 PM

Stanley Johnson was 0 for 2 through the 1st 3 quarters at Cleveland in limited minutes, but he played all 12 4th Q minutes, hitting 5 of 6 FG’s, including a pair of 3’s, for 12 points.
He’s carried that momentum forward with 13 1st Q points here on 5 of 5 FG’s (3 3’s). – 10:40 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
With LeBron and AD no longer taking opportunities away from Stanley Johnson, the Lakers can finally reach their true potential. AK – 10:39 PM

Good to see Tyrese Maxey continuing to pull the trigger on those corner triples. He needs to continue to take those shots. It’s a huge difference. Also, Joel Embiid continuing to run a break is so wild. #Sixers – 10:27 PM

The Heat just lost back to back games to the Sixers and the Warriors.
Embiid, Harden, Curry, Green, Thompson, Porter Jr. all were out.
That’s rough. – 10:07 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
#DidYouKnowFlow: Sixers PG James Harden needs six made shots to tie Stephen Curry for 80th on the NBA all-time made shots list at 6,875. – 10:04 PM
Joe Vardon @joevardon
There was a game in March in 2016 where the Heat destroyed the Cavs and LeBron was cracking up with D Wade at halftime. Cleveland went on to win it all. Watching Jimmy Butler and Erik Spoelstra get into it while Heat get boat-raced by half Warriors reminds me of that. – 10:04 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
With a Miami loss and a Philadelphia win, MIL, BOS, and PHI will all be 1 game back of the HEAT for the 1-seed. – 10:01 PM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
On Monday the Heat lost to Philly without Embiid and Harden
Tonight they lost to the Warriors without Curry, Klay, Draymond or Porter
They now have just a one-game lead on Milwaukee in the loss column for the No. 1 seed. The Bucks have the tiebreaker. HCA is officially in play – 9:58 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
The Heat lost to a Sixers team missing Joel Embiid and James Harden and then return home and lose to a Warriors team missing Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson. So it isn’t just the Sixers who do that. – 9:57 PM

Lakers coach Frank Vogel downplayed whether LeBron’s absence tonight vs Sixers had anything to do with schedule with not having a game again until Sunday vs New Orleans. Vogel: “If he can be in there, he wants to be in there. He’s dealing with soreness in the knee.” – 9:19 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
THT is a true game-time decision with the sore ankle that has kept him out of two of the last three games.
DJ Augustin stepped into many of those reserve minutes in THT’s place, giving L.A. more shooting and secondary playmaking, vs. THT dribble drives/defense. – 8:27 PM
Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
Frank Vogel says Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) a game-time decision. – 8:23 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Vogel on Anthony Davis: He’s getting evaluated on a daily basis based on the work he did the day prior.
“He’s coming along really well.”
Still no specific timetable/target date for a return. – 8:22 PM

4-6 at Clippers (8th seed)
Minnesota a game behind Denver for 6th.

“I just need to hear he’s OK to go. Once I get that, we’ll be fine.”
Monty Williams when asked does he need to see Chris Paul in 5-on-5 before playing him.
Paul out tonight at T-Wolves. #Suns play at Denver tomorrow and then have two days between Thursday and Sunday vs. #76ers. pic.twitter.com/mb1qBNEVrV – 6:50 PM

New story: LeBron James (sore left knee) is out tonight. It will be his 77th missed game out of a possible 298 since joining the Lakers – meaning he’s nearly lost a full season out of the four he’s been in L.A. because of injuries es.pn/3Nie2d0 – 6:05 PM
