Never seen anything like this. LeBron James loses games like everyone else in the NBA, and of course, some games are by huge margins. However, what happened last night at the Wells Fargo Center was unprecedented.
There is a lot of anticipation for the Lakers’ visit to Philadelphia. Los Angeles has won a fair amount of games, and the team from Pennsylvania is directly among the best teams in the league, and they also have reigning MVP Joel Embiid. Those ingredients couldn’t be better for a good fight, but the Sixers had other plans.
Nick Nurse’s kids leave their mark on the organization itself, they fired with one shot. They led by 13 points at the end of the first quarter, and from that point on they just had their way with the night. They had stretched their lead to over 20 points in the second quarter, and although the Californians seemed to react in the third quarter, things got really crazy in the final 12 minutes as the local public cruised to a 40-14 victory. . The final score was 138-94. That’s right, they won by 44 points…
For LeBron, who scored 18 points in 30 minutes (and left without a rebound), it was the worst loss of his career. Previously, he trailed by as many as 36 points in the NBA Finals during his time with the Miami Heat. In the regular season, he has already sounded the finals horn against the Indiana Pacers in 2019, when the gap with the Indiana Pacers reached 42 points. The king passed away saddened by what had happened last night. Here’s what he said: “What needs to change to prevent this from happening again? “A lot of things,” he said.
Embiid, smile at night
While LeBron is living his particular nightmare, Joel Embiid is shining and smiling as his team steamrolls its opponents. The Cameroonian center scored a triple-double with 30 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to lead the 76ers to a wonderful regular season. Additionally, it marked Philadelphia’s seventh consecutive victory over the Lakers.
«That’s my favorite team. Every time I play them, you want to win. Regardless, that’s what I want to do every night against every other team,” he said.
In addition to Embiid, as has often been the case this season, Tyrese Maxey had a great game, finishing with 31 points and eight assists. This is without a doubt one of the best couples on the pitch.
