After going 1-4 on their road, the Los Angeles Lakers finally returned home to host a shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers team.
The Lakers struggled with their play on both ends of the floor, so it was a relief to see them take care of business against the 76ers. Los Angeles got back in the win column with a much-needed 116-106 victory over Philadelphia, improving their record to 5-4.
Head coach JJ Redick made a change to the starting lineup, benching D’Angelo Russell in favor of Cam Reddish. With Russell starting the game on the bench, it opened up more touches and shot opportunities for Austin Reaves, who made the most of them.
