Overview

  • James scored a season-high 29 on 12-for-17 shooting and delivered 10 straight points in the fourth quarter to close a 112-108 road win.
  • Dončić returned from family leave and logged a 31-point, 15-rebound, 11-assist triple-double despite travel fatigue affecting his shooting rhythm.
  • The victory moved the Lakers to 17-6 overall and 10-3 away from home, and it was their first win in Philadelphia since 2017.
  • Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with 28 points, while Joel Embiid struggled to 4-for-21 from the field as Deandre Ayton anchored L.A.’s interior defense.
  • The NBA confirmed James now has 1,015 regular-season wins, second all time, and he said he felt better after recent sciatica and left-foot issues as L.A. prepares to face the Spurs in the NBA Cup quarterfinal.
