Wins have been far and few between for the Philadelphia 76ers who are going nowhere in 2014-15 and sometimes that is an advantage as teams tend to overlook teams that struggle. That is my explanation for Sunday’s 87-86 defeat at Cleveland on Sunday as a 17 point underdog. Philly held a slight 40.5%-38.8% shooting edge which would have been better if not for a 10-30 effort from beyond the arc.
LeBron James got his 24 points on 8-24 shooting but whether it was the 76ers or a bad day at the office for the Cavaliers is open for debate. Robert Covington led the offense with 19 points on 7-13 with Ish Smith and Furkan Aldemir netting eleven points apiece with Aldemir grabbing ten rebounds. Five players scored between 7-9 points but nothing explosive.

The Los Angeles Lakers are in the same boat as their counterparts in that wins haven’t been exactly piling up. Not enough scoring or defense has been the obvious issues and both trends continued in Sunday’s 107-99 defeat at Brooklyn. The Lakers fell behind 30-19 after one quarter which set the tone for a team not built to play catch up.
The Nets held advantages in most areas with over 48% shooting with more threes and free throws although the Lakers did stay competitive on 46% marksmanship. Jordan Hill was the visitors top offensive option with 22 points and a monster 16 rebounds followed by an 18 point, six pull and seven assist effort from Jordan Clarkson. Wesley Johnson netted 17 points while Wayne Ellington and Jabari Brown added 13 and eleven points respectively.
