The Philadelphia 76ers returned home on Friday night to host the Los Angeles Lakers for the first and only time this season. On a three-game losing streak, the Sixers knew they needed to bounce back in front of their home crowd.

The matchup was going well for Philly through the first three quarters. Just when the Sixers looked like they were on their way to a significant double-digit win, they started to collapse. With tons of turnovers and mistakes, the Sixers ended up allowing the Lakers to climb back and force overtime.

Fortunately for Philadelphia, the Lakers didn’t have much else to offer beyond regulation. As the Sixers dominated in overtime, they picked up their first win in four games. 

The Sixers are back on the floor in South Philly on Sunday night. This time around, they’ll host the Charlotte Hornets. A few weeks back when the Sixers paid a visit to the Hornets, Philadelphia found themselves involved in an upset loss.

On Sunday, the Sixers are out for revenge as they are healthier and back on their home court this time around.
