Philadelphia 76ers beat Lakers as LeBron James’ side loses
It happened. It finally happened for the Philadelphia 76ers who started the season off at a tough 0-18 losing skid.
Kobe Bryant On Sunday, November 29, 2015, Kobe Bryant announced on The Players’ Tribune website in a form of a first person poem call “Dear Basketball” that he was retiring after the 1015-16 season. The Washington Post reported earlier this year that in 2003, Bryant contemplated leaving Los Angeles to play in Washington under Michael Jordan, who had been the Wizards’ president of basketball operations before appoint himself the team’s small forward.
In case you haven’t heard, Kobe Bryant has been excruciatingly bad during his final season. And it was legitimately fun to watch.
Will the Lakers’ patience with the team’s X’s and O’s wear thin? That they truly do knock out good days, and we do believe that they will add up. “It was emotional and deeply appreciated beyond belief and really, really special”.
Bryant said he could tell the start made the Sixers a little starstruck – most were babies when he started his career. That unwanted streak officially ended when time expired with a score of 103-91 in favor of Philadelphia. Their half-court offense was hit-or-miss in the final period, with one time Jahlil Okafor not knowing the shot clock and throwing a cross-court pass instead of shooting the ball late in the game, and their defense was the reason they were able to pull this one out. “I love you bro and good luck to you”.
Center Nikola Vucevic was one of six players in double figures for the Orlando Magic in a 96-93 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Tuesday.
“He’s got that alpha personality”, Gasol said, according to CBS Sports.
“I could sense they were like ‘I really don’t want to touch him.’…” The highlight of his night was this pull-up jumper that put the Lakers ahead by two, coming right after Kobe made a three.
Kobe went 7-for-26 shooting and dropped 20 points for his team. Grant stepped up in a big way, contributing two points, three assists, two blocks and a steal during the Sixers 14-5 run in the first five minutes of the quarter. Lakers G Lou Williams returned after missing the two previous games following the death of his grandfather.
Roy Hibbert got into an altercation with Isaiah Canaan, Jerami Grant, and JaKarr Sampson that surprisingly did not result in any ejections, despite Hibbert shoving a referee and Noel joining the scuffle from the bench, although all three of Hibbert, Sampson and Canaan did receive technical fouls for the scuffle.
