The Clippers started off the the new year a little sluggish. By the time they woke up, the 76ers had built a big enough lead and held on through four technical fouls and two ejections to win 119-113.
LA essentially lost the game in the first half. The team surrendered 41 points in the first quarter and 76 points in the first half as it had no answers for Joel Embiid. Marcin Gortat got the start after three straight games of Boban Marjanovic, but was bullied in the post by the All-Star center.
