Lakers-76ers Preview

The Los Angeles Lakers are slowly becoming more offensively efficient as they progress through their road trip. That should be tested against an improving Philadelphia 76ers' club that has held its last three opponents below 40 percent shooting.

These teams are on three-game win streaks entering Friday night's matchup in Philadelphia, where the Lakers have won their last three visits.

Los Angeles (19-7) began this seven-game road stretch with its two worst offensive efforts, averaging 85.5 points in splitting games against the Los Angeles Clippers and Chicago. The Lakers have increased their output in the three games since, winning 109-94 at Indiana on Wednesday.

They shot 51.2 percent from the field and had 25 assists, both their best totals during the trip.

"We played with more energy, and a more focused game, and with more of a sense of urgency," said Kobe Bryant about avenging an earlier loss to the Pacers.

Philadelphia (10-15) is eager for the opportunity to test itself against Los Angeles after three straight efforts that pleased new coach Doug Collins. The 76ers had held an opponent below 40 percent twice in their first 22 games before this run.

Collins knows that a similar effort won't come easy Friday.

"Two-time defending champions, Kobe coming home," Collins said. "They're going to be a handful, to say the least. Pau Gasol, the most skilled big man in the NBA now in my estimation in terms of just skill in the post."

Gasol had 28 points Wednesday for his highest point total in his last 12 games. He combined for 31 points in his previous two games.

"Just played more aggressive, more assertive," said Gasol, who has double-doubles in six of his last seven games against the 76ers. "Just tried to attack more and it made a difference."

Bryant, born in Philadelphia, made 11 of 18 shots (61.1) for his best shooting performance of the season. He is bidding to shoot over 60 percent in consecutive regular-season games for the first time since Feb. 22-24, 2009.

Philadelphia led by as many as 20 in Wednesday's 105-91 win over the Clippers. Jrue Holiday led five players in double figures with 24 points while Andre Iguodala added 20 as the 76ers finished with 21 fast-break points.

The Lakers have won seven of their last nine against the Sixers, who are looking forward to the challenge.

"They have been playing a little better as of late, but before that, it hadn't been that great for them," forward Elton Brand said. "We just have to have one of our best efforts."

The Lakers acquired veteran forward Joe Smith on Wednesday in a three-team trade. The frontcourt already has been bolstered by the return of Andrew Bynum, who has logged 17 minutes the last two games after missing the first 24 with a partially torn ligament in his right knee.

Collins will reunite with Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who replaced him as Bulls coach before the 1989-90 season.

"I think in our hearts we have to come in here and believe we can beat the Lakers," Collins said. "Now whether or not we can, I don't know but I know our guys are gonna compete."

Odom helps Lakers top 76ers 93-81

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Kobe Bryant's pinky was sore, making it hard for him to shoot the basketball.

"I kind of had to quarterback things a little bit more," he said.

He could have asked Michael Vick for advice on how to run an offense.

Vick received a reception fit for a rock star and shook the Philadelphia 76ers' arena like a Game 7 would.

Lamar Odom scored 28 points, Pau Gasol had 19 points and 13 rebounds and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Sixers 93-81 on Friday night.

"This whole place went bananas," Bryant said of Vick's arrival.

Trailing when Vick took his courtside seat late in the third quarter, the Lakers rallied and broke the game open in the fourth quarter with a 27-8 run to win their fourth straight game.

"There's got to be a point in the game where we assert ourselves," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said.

The season's second sellout crowd of 20,366 included some of Philadelphia's top sports stars. Bryant scored only nine points a night after his high school dedicated the gym in his honor.

Bryant sprained the pinky finger on his right hand in the first quarter but still played 36 minutes. After the game, Bryant said he was fine and X-rays were negative.

Matt Barnes had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers - and two assists not found in the box score. He hooked up Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson and Vick with the front row seats.

Philadelphia Phillies Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard also were at the game. Not even the former NL MVPs could steal the thunder from Bryant or Vick.

When Vick walked in late in the third quarter, fans began standing, section by section, as he walked around the court and took his seat.

The crowd chanted "MVP! MVP!" and Vick basked in the adulation, slapping hands with fans and waving to the crowd.

As the "MVP!" chants grew louder, Andre Iguodala nailed a 23-footer for a 57-56 lead and the place went wild.

"You would have thought the president walked in or something," Barnes said. "Hopefully, they can do me a favor in the playoffs or Super Bowl if we have some time."

Iguodala hit a 3-pointer with 37 seconds left to send the Sixers into the fourth ahead 62-58.

The fun didn't last long.

Odom opened the fourth with consecutive three-point plays and Barnes' 3 gave the Lakers a 71-64 lead.

It wasn't all feel-good Philly: Jackson tweeted he was "watchn my lake show play the 2nd home town Sixers!!"

Jackson had to feel happy when Odom and Steve Blake hit consecutive 3s for an 81-68 lead and many of the same fans standing and cheering minutes earlier started to head for the exits.

"They stick to Pau and Kobe so much, that if you make a play, you find yourself with a good look," Odom said.

Spencer Hawes had 18 points and 13 rebounds, and Iguodala scored 18 points for the Sixers.

"Kobe never got it going but the other guys stepped up," Hawes said.

Bryant was booed during pregame introductions, though not as strongly as two or three years ago. Sixers fans have softened their stance toward the star dubbed a "Hometown Zero" on the front page of the Philadelphia Daily News in 2007.

He donated more than $400,000 to his high school in Lower Merion and had the gym dedicated in his honor on Thursday.

He made just two baskets in the first quarter and didn't play at all in the second until there was 4:50 left.

Bryant wasn't needed early when the Sixers missed their first 11 shots. The Sixers turned a 44-39 halftime deficit into a third quarter lead once Iguodala got hot and the Lakers missed 17 of 23 shots.

Odom scored 11 points during the 27-8 spurt and that was enough for the Lakers to roll.

"On an off night for Kobe, we have complete confidence that Lamar can carry this team," Barnes said.

The Lakers went 24 of 28 from the free-throw line while the Sixers were 12 of 14. That was the only line each team mastered: Los Angles missed 12 of 15 3s and the Sixers missed 18 of 21.

"We are not discouraged because we competed at the highest of levels," 76ers coach Doug Collins said.

Notes: Jackson says his hometown school also named a gym after him, but "I didn't pay $400,000 for them to do it." Jackson also says Bryant can still shoot even as the years start to take a toll. "His offensive game is always going to be there. He can play in a wheelchair." ... The Sixers don't play at home again until Jan. 5. ... Bryant said he hadn't heard about Armenian-Americans upset with his endorsement deal with Turkish Airlines. ... 76ers G Evan Turner, the No. 2 overall draft pick, got a DNP-CD.

Lakers-Sixers notebook

THE FACTS: Lamar Odom scored 28 points and Pau Gasol contributed 19 points and 13 rebounds to lift the Lakers past the Philadelphia 76ers 93-81on Friday. Matt Barnes added 15 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for the Lakers, who improved to 20-7 and won their fourth game in a row. Kobe Bryant suffered a sprained right pinky finger in the first quarter. An X-Ray taken after the game was negative. Spencer Hawes had 18 points and 13 rebounds while Andre Iguodala had 18 points for the Sixers, who fell to 10-16.

QUOTABLE: "You win with defense. Teams with championship aspirations win with defense like we did."
-- Kobe Bryant

THE STAT: The Lakers missed their first 12 3-pointers and finished 3-for-15. But they hit their final three.

TURNING POINT: The Lakers used a 15-4 run to take a commanding 81-68 lead with 5:41 remaining. It was enough separation to pull away from the gritty Sixers.

HOT: Odom carried the Lakers on this particular night, as he took advantage of matchup problems and hurt the Sixers with an array of low post moves.

NOT: Jrue Holiday, who had given the Sixers a spark in recent games, was 3-for-15 from the field and never found his rhythm.

QUOTABLE II: "I told our guys I was incredibly proud of them. We played a terrific defensive game against one of the best offensive teams in the league."
-- Sixers coach Doug Collins

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Iguodala had a solid all-around game with six rebounds and six assists.

INSIDE THE ARENA: There was a definite buzz inside the Wells Fargo Center with the lone annual visit from the Lakers. There were hundreds of Lakers fans donning Bryant No. 24 jerseys. Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins and first baseman Ryan Howard both attended the game. So did Eagles quarterback Michael Vick and wide receiver DeSean Jackson. When Vick walked to his front row seat in the third quarter, he received a standing ovation from the crowd.

GOOD MOVE: Lakers coach Phil Jackson really got on Gasol late in the first half for not getting back on defense and allowing a dunk by Elton Brand. Gasol responded with consecutive baskets and continued to play hard the rest of the game.

BAD MOVE: The Sixers went to a small lineup to start the fourth quarter, which allowed the Lakers to quickly slice a seven-point deficit and take a 66-64 lead. That's when Collins called upon Hawes and Brand to re-enter the game.

ROOKIE WATCH: Evan Turner was one of two Sixers who didn't play along with Darius Songaila. Turner's minutes have fluctuated recently, and it wasn't a huge surprise that he remained on the bench against the Lakers.

NOTABLE: While the Lakers were misfiring from 3-point territory, so were the Sixers. Philadelphia was 3-for-21 from beyond the arc. Too many long distance shots and not enough drives to the basket resulted in just 14 free-throw attempts. Meanwhile, the Lakers were 24-of-28 from the free throw line.

UP NEXT: For the Lakers, Sunday @ Toronto, Tuesday vs. Milwaukee, Saturday vs. Miami. For the Sixers, Saturday @ Orlando, Tuesday @ Chicago, Wednesday @ Boston.
