Lakers get 86-ed by 76ers

The Los Angeles Lakers fell to the Philadelphia 76ers 94-93, only their 14th loss of the season. After Kobe Bryant hit a 23-foot jumper with six seconds left to put the Lakers up by two in the fourth quarter, Andre Iguodala hit a three-pointer as time expired to get the win for Philly. The Sixers outscored LA 32-20 in the deciding fourth quarter after the Lakers entered the fourth leading by 11. Despite shooting 50%, the Lakers committed 18 turnovers, allowed four 3-pointers in the last quarter, and only forced 9 Philly turnovers. Kobe had a cold game, scoring only 11 points on 5-for-15 shooting. Pau Gasol led LA with 25 points, and Trevor Ariza had 16 points and 8 rebounds. Iguodala led the Sixers with 25 points, and Louis Williams scored 18 points off the bench.
