The Los Angeles Lakers came up just short in their comeback attempt, losing against the Philadelphia 76ers and snapping their undefeated road streak to start the season.
The Lakers played catch up for most of the night as they had issues keeping the 76ers off the foul line. Joel Embiid in particular was difficult to contain as he finished the night with 28 points and forced his way to the line several times in the first half.
However, Los Angeles made a more concerted effort in the second half to limit Embiid and it worked as they forced him into tough contested jumpers and a couple of turnovers.
