76ers-Lakers Preview

The Los Angeles Lakers are slowly starting to resemble the team most thought they would be after headline-grabbing offseason acquisitions. The Philadelphia 76ers, conversely, are fading fast after a solid start.

The Lakers seek their seventh win in eight games and their fourth straight at home on Tuesday night when they face the road-weary 76ers.

After adding Dwight Howard and Steve Nash in the offseason, Los Angeles' expectations were lofty enough to send coach Mike Brown packing after a 1-4 start. Things initially didn't go much better for new coach Mike D'Antoni, who started off 4-9.

But with the Lakers' once stagnant offense gaining more fluidity, they are 6-1 since. Los Angeles (15-15) is averaging 107.1 points per game during that stretch.

The last four have seen Nash back from a seven-week absence due to a small fracture in his leg. He is averaging 12.3 points and 9.5 assists with 2.5 turnovers since returning.

Los Angeles is averaging 21.4 assists on the season, but 28.3 over the last four games with Nash on the court. He recorded 10 assists in 27 minutes in a 104-87 rout of Portland on Friday.

Howard also has five double-doubles in the team's last seven games and is averaging 17.6 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots on the season.

"We're obviously still a new team," Nash said. "It's new to me. I'm new to the offense. We're trying to figure it out. I think we're growing more and more cohesive, but I've got a long way to go."

Kobe Bryant attributed the victory to the team's improved energy. Los Angeles matched a season high with 23 fast-break points.

"It was just energy," said Bryant, whose streak of 10 games with at least 30 points was snapped as he scored 27 in a season-low 30:40. His 30.1 scoring average still leads the league.

"We're playing really well. We've just got to keep it going."

The Lakers should soon find out exactly how much they've improved recently after Tuesday's game. Their next five games include matchups with the Clippers, Denver, Houston, San Antonio and Oklahoma City, teams with a combined 108-49 record.

Philadelphia (14-17) started the season 12-9, even without former Laker Andrew Bynum, but has lost two straight and eight of 10 after Saturday's 89-85 defeat at Portland. The 76ers also have dropped eight of nine on the road, which isn't promising with Tuesday's game being only the fifth of a season-high eight-game trip.

They actually outscored the Trail Blazers through the final three quarters, but a 30-23 deficit after the first had them climbing uphill for the game's remainder.

"We have to have a game where we're the team that jumps on early and survives a couple runs," Spencer Hawes said. "It takes more energy to be on the bottom side of a run trying to come back than it does to hold it."

Jrue Holiday continues to be a bright spot for the 76ers with career highs in points (18.6) and assists (8.9). The UCLA product missed the teams' first meeting in Philadelphia on Dec. 16 because of a left foot sprain. Nick Young scored a season-high 30 on 6-of-12 3-point shooting while Bryant had 34 in the Lakers' 111-98 victory.

Holiday leads Sixers over Lakers 103-99

LOS ANGELES (AP) The Philadelphia 76ers demonstrated how much of an advantage youth and fresher legs can be sometimes against a team of veteran All-Stars.

Jrue Holiday had 26 points and 10 assists, Evan Turner added 22 points and 13 rebounds, and the 76ers rang in the new year with a 103-99 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.

"I think they had all their star power out there, but we came out and played, and really played together," Holiday said. "It feels awesome. This is actually my first win against the Lakers, so I can't start off the New Year a better way."

Kobe Bryant, who shifted from shooting guard to small forward five games ago in coach Mike D'Antoni's redesigned rotation, led Los Angeles with 36 points.

The Lakers (15-16) have matched their worst start after 31 games since the 2002-03 season, when they began defense of their third straight NBA title with a 12-19 record. They are 10th in the Western Conference, 1 1-2 games out of a playoff spot - a revolting development for a team that missed the postseason only twice times in the previous 36 years and not since 2005.

"It's frustrating," said point guard Steve Nash, who had 12 points and 10 assists. "We're in a tough position and we really have a lot of ground to make up. We're not finding the answers right now. So many situations just seem new, and I think we're struggling to find that little bit of connectivity that makes a team a team."

The Lakers, who tied a franchise record with 10 3-pointers in the first half of their 111-98 win at Philadelphia on Dec. 16, were 1 for 11 from 3-point range before intermission in the rematch and finished 3 for 22 from behind the arc.

Their next game is Friday night against the Clippers, whose franchise-record 17-game winning streak ended in Denver a couple hours earlier. But when D'Antoni was asked a couple hours before Tuesday's contest if there was a danger of his team looking past the 76ers to the next one, he said the Lakers weren't good enough to look past anyone.

"We didn't look past them. I mean, you just saw an old team," Bryant said. "I don't know how else to put it. We're just slow, and they're a team that's younger with fresher legs and played with more energy. We were just stuck in the mud. And as individuals, we all have to figure out how to get ourselves ready each and every game to have a high-level game. That's a big thing when you're starting to age. It's tough, and it takes a lot of commitment."

Pau Gasol had 11 points and nine rebounds, but shot only 2 for 12 while playing on a sore right foot. Dwight Howard missed his first five shots and finished 1 for 7 with seven points and 14 boards. The six-time All-Star's only field goal came with 6:15 left in the third quarter, a put-back dunk that reduced Philadelphia's lead to 67-63.

Down by nine with just under 3 minutes to play, the Lakers closed to 99-97 on Bryant's 3-pointer with 1:28 left. But Spencer Hawes responded with a 21-footer 16 seconds later and Holiday helped close it out on a driving dunk with 22.4 seconds on the clock.

"I was hyped," Holiday said. "I thought right there it was pretty much over. But with the Lakers and all the firepower they have, anything can happen."

The 76ers outscored the Lakers 11-3 over the final 2:20 of the half to pull ahead 54-50, and extended the margin to eight points after three quarters. Los Angeles trailed 89-79 after Holiday's jumper with 6:54 left in the game, then closed to 94-90 on Metta World Peace's jumper a few minutes later. But the Sixers responded by scoring the next five points, including a layup by Jason Richardson that made it 99-90 with 2:57 left.

"We just didn't play together, especially on the defensive end, and we had a lot of mistakes down the stretch," Howard said. Nobody rotated fast enough, and that's where we lost the game. The games we've won - blowing teams out - we've played a certain way. The games we've lost, we've played a different way. So we need to find a balance."

NOTES: Nash needs 28 assists to join John Stockton, Jason Kidd, Mark Jackson and Magic Johnson as the only players in NBA history with at least 10,000. ... The 76ers are 14-0 when leading after three quarters, compared to 1-16 when trailing going into the fourth. ... After wrapping up this eight-game road trip against Phoenix, Oklahoma City and San Antonio, the 76ers will play 13 of their next 15 at home. ... Lakers reserve F Antawn Jamison was benched for the sixth straight game. The 15-year veteran, a two-time All-Star and former sixth man of the year (2003-04), hasn't played since Dec. 16, when he went scoreless in 13 minutes against the 76ers.

Notebook: Sixers 103, Lakers 99

Dan Arritt, for NBA.com
Posted Wed Jan 02, 2013 2:10 AM - Updated Wed Jan 02, 2013 2:10 AM

THE FACTS: Playing his first NBA game in his native Southern California in nearly two years, 76ers point guard Jrue Holiday put on a show for his friends and family Tuesday night but thoroughly aggravated the Lakers, producing 26 points and 10 assists in the 103-99 victory at Staples Center. Evan Turner pitched in 22 points and a season-high 13 rebounds and four others scored in double figures, helping Philadelphia improve to 2-3 on their current eight-game road trip.

QUOTABLE: "He's playing with tremendous confidence. He's a well-conditioned athlete and you have to be to play at the level he plays every night."

--Philadelphia coach Doug Collins on Holiday.

THE STAT: The Lakers shot a season-low 13.6 percent from 3-point range, missing 19 of 22 attempts from beyond the arc. Their previous low was 17.4 against Utah on Nov. 7, the last game Mike Brown coached for L.A. before he was fired. The Lakers were nearly as bad from the free-throw line, shooting 22-for-33.

TURNING POINT: Lakers center Dwight Howard blocked Holiday's jumper on one end of the floor and Kobe Bryant sank a 3-pointer on the other, cutting the deficit to 99-97 with 1:28 remaining. Spencer Hawes came through with a 21-footer from the baseline, however, pushing the lead back to four. Bryant committed just the seventh turnover of the game for the Lakers on the ensuing possession, but Jason Richardson missed a wide-open 3-pointer in transition, giving L.A. renewed life. The Lakers couldn't take advantage, as Steve Nash and Metta World Peace missed open 3-pointers. That led to Holiday's fast-break dunk with 22 seconds left, putting the Lakers down by six points dropping them back below .500 for the season.

HOT: Turner began the season by scoring in double figures the first 17 games, but had been a bit of a pendulum since the middle of December. In the previous seven games, he had mixed in games of six, one and four points. He had his shot working against the Lakers, however, shooting 8-for-14 and 2-for-3 from 3-point range. He had a team-high six points and five rebounds in the deciding fourth quarter. Bryant scored 36 points on 14-for-29 shooting for the Lakers, but even he missed three free throws for the second consecutive game.

NOT: One of the strengths of the Lakers is their tandem of 7-footers, Howard and Pau Gasol. Offensively, their contributions were few and far between against the 76ers. Gasol shot 2-for-12 and scored 11 points. Howard was 1-for-7, scoring his only basket on a dunk after grabbing an offensive rebound fourth quarter. He also shot 5-for-10 from the line, leaving him with seven points, his lowest output since scoring seven in back-to-back games Nov. 21 and 23. The 76ers were nearly bitten by their own shaky free-throw shooting. They missed five of six from the line in the final 3:30, leaving the door open for the Lakers to sneak back.

QUOTABLE II: "We'll keep talking, keep trying to iron things out, but tonight just wasn't a good night."

--Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni

GOOD MOVE: D'Antoni made a swift decision to insert Jordan Hill for Gasol with 7:33 remaining in the opening quarter. Hill immediately brought a dose of energy and finished the quarter with eight points and six rebounds, helping the Lakers trim an early 11-point deficit to three.

BAD MOVE: World Peace sank a rare 3-pointer with 4:52 remaining, then followed with a pull-up 19-footer on the next trip down the floor, keeping the Lakers within four points. After the 76ers pushed the lead back to six on the other end, World Peace decided to keep shooting, but forced a bad shot after driving along the baseline. Hawes grabbed the rebound cleanly, but World Peace swiped at the ball anyway, fouling Hawes and putting Philadelphia in the bonus with 3:30 remaining.

QUOTABLE III: "We dodged it at the end. We missed four free throws and took a quick 3 when we should have used the clock. It's a learning experience, to say the least, but it's a great win for our team to start the New Year."

-- Doug Collins

NOTABLE: Hawes scored a career-high 30 points against the Lakers three years ago Tuesday (30). ... The 76ers are 14-0 this season when leading at the start of the fourth quarter. ... The Lakers matched their worst start to a season since 2002-03. ... Lakers back-up point guard Chris Duhon missed the game with back spasms. He expects to return Friday against the Clippers.

UP NEXT: For the Lakers, Friday @ L.A. Clippers, Sunday vs. Denver, Tuesday @ Houston. For the 76ers, Wednesday @ Phoenix, Friday @ Oklahoma City, Saturday @ San Antonio.
