Game 2 – Lakers 36, Sixers 28 The Lakers got out of the winless column. After they opened the first half up with a 29-6 lead, the Defending Champion Sixers fought back & got close but fell short trying desperately to get off the Schneide. And thanks to a 14-3 Lakers flurry in the fourth behind A. Mallah (15) and R. Correale (11), they get the Win. Sixers A Martino (12) And J Geronimo (10) were the top dogs on the losing end of the stick, this game.
