The new look Philadelphia 76ers are back in action today. Once again on national television, the Sixers take on the Los Angeles Lakers, led by LeBron James and all the players he wanted to trade. This will be Philadelphia’s second game with their new core four after a thrilling 117-110 win over the Denver Nuggets.
Newcomer Tobias Harris started his Sixers career off on the right foot, scoring 14 points along with 8 rebounds and 3 assists, giving the Nuggets defense problems all night. Due to the strong core of scorers in the starting lineup, JJ Redick was able to find more open shots than usual (editor’s note: just don’t tell him that), leading to a season-high 34 points for the sharpshooter.
