However, starting off the game with three triples for his team’s first nine points isn’t a bad way to make sure it’s a night that he never forgets. The Lakers veteran, who announced earlier in the week that this would be his final year, also shot 4-of-17 from behind the arc to register another inefficient shooting night.

Statistics suggest that the Philadelphia 76ers have actually set a record for the longest losing streak in the history of the National Basketball Association, with 28 defeats stretching over last season and the current campaign.

The Spanish center scored a season-high 38 points and 13 rebounds and also led Memphis in assists (6) as the Pelicans lost for the 14th time in 18 games this season. He ended the game 4/17 from three point land.

‘Obviously there was so much made about it, from commercials to media talk, to people just talking about the Lakers versus the Cavs, Kobe versus LeBron, Kobe versus LeBron, Kobe versus LeBron, but I couldn’t do that to my teammates to kind of assume.

He buried a 3-pointer off the opening tip and hit another 3 on the next possession.

John Wall led the way with 35 points, 10 assists and four rebounds as the Wizards improved to 7-8, easing pressure on beleaguered coach Randy Wittman.

Philadelphia, which trailed by as many as 14 points in the first half, opened the third quarter with a 19-7 rush to go in front, 69-65. The Sixers, who played competitive basketball on their last road trip, seized that opportunity.
