The LA Lakers had another humiliating blowout loss in the season, this time against the Philadelphia 76ers 

On a night when the LA Lakers wing depth was missed, the team wasn't able to stop Joel Embiid and co. The worst thing of all was that fans placed emphasis on what the team should've avoided in tonight's game, but somehow coach Darvin Ham missed on it.

Tyrese Maxey had been great so far this season, the team should've prepared to stop him, the same with Embiid, but coach Ham and the Lakers players weren't able to stop them, at all.

Embiid had a triple-double by scoring 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists while Maxey scored 31 points with 5-12 from 3. The 76ers had a total of 22 scored 3-pointers while LA scored only all night for a 25%.

Ham's terrible decision-making, like making the debut of Jalen Hood-Schifino when the team was getting dominated by the 76ers was a bad call, but letting a 2-20 run without calling a time-out was just plain ridiculous.

The Lakers have been bad on their 9 on road games

The Lakers were smoked in this one from midway through the 1st Q until the end, losing in Philadelphia 138-94. LAL drops to 3-6 on the road on the season. Finish out this road trip with/ a b2b in DET-OKC on Wednesday and Thursday.
