Lakers go Down to Rampaging Sixers
Andre Iguodala posterizes Brian Cook
The Los Angeles Lakers came to Philadelphia, but mentally they were back home, in Los Angles.
The Lakers have not had a home game in a while, and for many of them last night, at home would have been a good place to be.
They were torched at both ends of the court by a rampaging Philadelphia lineup.
Kyle Korver's 6-11 from beyond the arc helped the Sixers cruise to victory.
The Lakers looked gone for all money at quarter time, and despite Phil Jackson's best efforts, the team simply did not perform.
The margin was looking to be double figures at the main break, but Kobe Bryant made two steals and hit two huge three point bombs, one from two feet behind the stripe.
This narrowed the margin to just three, before the Sixers took control again in the third.
Samuel Dalambert had five blocks and was instrumental in keeping the Lakers out of the paint, which was the only place they looked like scoring.
The Lakers play Memphis, again away, on Monday, while the Sixers play the Clippers in Philadelphia on Sunday.
