Im watching the Lakers vs 76ers game and man is this DeAnthony Melton kid lighting up the scoreboard. He is 8/11 from 3 point range on his way to 30 points. I dont think the Sixers wouldve won this game without him. A great performance for a relatively unknown player against multiple hall of famers. Hes going to be one happy guy when he gets home tonight. Im happy for him, but would have preferred a Lakers win as theyve been playing great lately.

I'm surprised that this game went to OT, I was watching in the 4th quarter but the Sixers already had a good lead, I'm surprised when I come back that the game was already in overtime. Still plenty of time left, but it's still the sixers who are leading in the OT period.

Lakers made a good comeback in the fourth quarter that's why it went into OT. It was wild as we thought that Sixers is going to win already, I mean 9 points down with less than a minute if I'm not mistaken then forcing an OT that could really hurt the Sixers.

The Lakers though have a chance to win if only Davis hit both free throws with 3.7 left.

But the good thing is that they keep themselves, composed and didn't let that huge comeback by the Lakers hurt the team.

Not only Davis, but Reaves could have given the Lakers a one point lead if he just make all 3 FT, unfortunately he hits 2/3. And they still have a good chance this time it was on Davis shoulder, but then again 1/2.

In the OT it was not even close, the Lakers scored their only point in OT when the game is already decided.

Pat Bev drives for a 2 point and that's it. And this could be one of the greatest comeback though if Lakers win in OT.

Could've been one of the greatest come back if they have won it, unfortunately they're still a team that's still struggling how to close out the game. Though there are improvements, but I hope they'll finally figure it out.
Their top priority this season should enter the 2023 playoffs, i believe they're a much stronger team in a 7 game series, than in a regular season games.
One thing to consider to achieve this is to keep AD healthy all throughout the season, otherwise they'll end up missing the playoffs again.

They got tired in the end that's why the comeback just fell short.

Yes, I do agree that a series is very different as they will have to face each other in at least 4x and chances are Lakers can win at least one and the rest could be very close. So they need to enter the playoff first, and as much as possible not go into a play-in because it might be different for them because against their legs might be tired. Just keep on grinding every game and try to win games and keep Davis and Lebron healthy.
