Los Angeles Lakers play some of their best basketball in the season recently, but it wasn’t the case on Tuesday.
Although without stars, Joel Embide and Paul George, Philadelphia 76ers ignited Lakers 118-104 behind a big night from Tirese Maxey. Embide missed the game on Tuesday because of his constant knee injury while George was out because of a finger injury he suffered on Saturday.
Maxi, who has a year in his career, scored 43 points with the dominant victory. He has now recorded 11 games with 28 or more points.
Lakers were without a star on the biggest part of the game, as Anthony Davis played only 10 minutes before he came out with abdominal strainS Without Davis, LeBron James did his best to carry Los Angeles to a 31 -point victory, nine assists and eight fights, but that was far from enough to do the job.
After the loss, the fans tore Lakers that they failed to take care of Philadelphia with their stars.

There is no Paul George and without Emboid, and that @Lakers The team still gave up 73 points in the first half. SMFH Some of the many reasons why you can’t take this team seriously where it is about championship conversations.

How can Maxi without Paul George and Emboid cook the entire Lakers team? #Lakeshow
Entering the game, Lakers won six of his last seven games and defeated Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors during this section. They looked far from the same team in the loss on Tuesday, and much of this was Davis’s absence.
While the severity of Davis’s injury is unknown at this point, Los Angeles can only hope that he does not miss a long period.
Even with the loss, Lakers are in a good position, sitting in the fifth place west on the west of 26-19 thanks to the recent hot series.
