The Los Angeles Lakers got their three-game losing streak snapped and this is their first loss during this NBA Eastern Conference road trip. It was a close fight as the Sixers suppressed the late Lakers’ charge in the fourth quarter. LeBron James has been the favorite to win this season’s MVP and he gave his team 34 points, six rebounds, and six assists. Anthony Davis tallied 23 points and eight rebounds while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope chipped in with 16. Alex Caruso had 10 points off the bench but the Lakers’ bad start caused the late-game cram to avoid the loss.

The Detroit Pistons after picking up a win over the Philadelphia 76ers had a hard time following it up against the Cleveland Cavaliers who beat them by 15 points, 107-122. Jerami Grant’s consistency to be the team’s best offensive weapon continues dropping 26 points. Wayne Ellington has remained to have a hot hand as he finished with 17 points and four three-pointers. Mason Plumlee was able to keep up with Andre Drummond doing 15 points, 12 rebounds but he committed the most turnovers with eight. This team is still trying to find the right mix and chemistry to win games but their options are really low.
