“Today was very bad. We collapsed in defense on the three. They converted their shots and they have to be praised. We have to change a lot of things so it doesn’t happen again,” James said. The leading scorer in NBA history scored 18 points in the game. James’ most recent loss since starting his career in 2003 was a 42-point loss to Indiana in 2019.
Joel Embiid, who scored a triple double with 30 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, was especially responsible for Philadelphia’s seventh success in back-to-back games. “He’s my favorite opponent,” admitted last year’s MVP, whose role model was former Lakers star Kobe Bryant. The Sixers helped themselves in the game with 22 three-pointers, five of them by Tyrese Maxey, who was the best scorer of the game with 31 points.

Defending champion Denver, even without three players from the starting line-up, including Nikola Jokic, defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 113:104. Reggie Jackson mainly shined. Denver’s backup point guard, who was also missing Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray, had 35 points and 13 assists in the win. Against his former club, he hit 15 of 19 shots for the fourth-best shooting performance of his career.
Another experienced player, DeAndre Jordan, who spent his most famous time with the Clippers and has recently been picking up starts only after minutes, made his mark with 21 points and 13 rebounds. It was his best game since the 2018/19 season. Kawhi Leonard scored 31 points for the Clippers.

Indiana surprisingly faltered at home against Portland, losing 110-114. Jerami Grant led the Blazers to a win with 34 points, Malcolm Brogdon added 24 points. Tyrese Haliburton scored 33 points for Indiana, which did not shoot three points this time.
In a battle between two of the worst teams in the league, Washington defeated Detroit 126-107 to end a nine-game losing streak. It was only the third win of the season for the Wizards. Kyle Kuzma contributed 32 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in the victory.
