11/15: Rising Stars - LAKERS vs. Sixers 2nd Half Open Thread and Discussion


Second half of the Lakers-Sixers matchup. As usual, leave a comment below and share your thoughts on the game.

Q4

PHI 115 LAL 109

Trust the process indeed for the 76ers. The Lakers gave them everything they got down the stretch. But, Joel Embiid man. The Sixers gotta consider taking the wheels off because he's an absolute monster. He killed the Lakers down the stretch and Julius Randle had no answer for him defensively. Lopez and Bogut guarded him too, but it didn't matter. Nonetheless, this was a great battle between two young teams. But in the end, the Process was too much for the Lakers to stop. Stay tuned for the full recap.


Q3

PHI 83 LAL 84

This has been a recurring theme so far for the Lakers. They are fighting out there! Again, just when the Sixers were about to pull away with Embiid and Simmons carrying the team, the Lakers respond with a run of their own by playing good defense and pushing the ball. Brandon Ingram is making shots out there while being aggressive. This is one of his best shooting games in his career. Meanwhile, it's the opposite of Lonzo Ball. He has to play his game in being aggressive. The settling for three's won't cut it. But luckily, the Lakers are hanging in there. This is going to be a strong fight to the finish for both these young teams in the 4th quarter.
