The Philadelphia Sixers finally won a game this season beating the Los Angeles Lakers, 103-91 at home. It was a memorable night in South Philadelphia as they honored the late great Moses Malone and it was Philadelphia's own and NBA great Kobe Bryant's last game in Philadelphia. Bryant on Sunday before the Lakers faced the Indania Pacers announced that this would be in fact his last NBA season. Click here to view the announcement.
The Sixers came into the game on a 28 game losing streak (0-18 this season; loss the last 10 from last season). Robert Covington lead the Sixers with 23 points. Kobe Bryant scored 20 points, he started off hitting three of his first four shots; all from three point land. He ended the game 4/17 from three point land. Jahlil Okafor scored 14 points and grabbed 5 rebounds.
