PHILADELPHIA - Meek Mill crashed a 76ers press conference and gave a shoutout to his favorite team. The rapper capped his impromptu remarks with "good win!"The 76ers got it even with Joel Embiid having an off night by his own MVP-type standards.Embiid had 26 points and nine rebounds, leading Philadelphia to a 105-87 victory over a Los Angeles Lakers team playing without LeBron James on Thursday night."I was not very good tonight, so I was happy my teammates were able to pick me up," Embiid said.He still had a pretty good game.
This is what counts these days as a subpar game for Embiid: He missed all five 3-pointers and was only 8 of 13 from the free throw line.
He was 9 of 20 from the floor."He's doing everything for us on and off the floor," coach Doc Rivers said.At least he had teammates to pick up the slack.
Tobias Harris scored 23 points and Ty Maxey had 14 points and 10 assists.Anthony Davis scored 31 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Lakers.The 37-year-old James is day to day with a sore left knee.
