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.
As a result, the Lakers have now lost three games in a row. They are not the only team with several superstars that is having trouble this season. The Warriors and Heat are both having trouble breaking into the top eight. Nevertheless, the Lakers demonstrated that they can compete with the best teams. They have six straight road games; their final one is against the Pistons, which they should be able to win before returning to Los Angeles. It will be intriguing how they will do against the Celtics and Nuggets at home.
