Good results last night for Lakers’ pick set to go to Philly

The Philadelphia 76ers won a weird one last night against the Hawks in Atlanta. Already without Embiid for the seventh straight game, the Sixers also had a compromised Ben Simmons suffering from a stomach bug, and lost Dario Saric about 15 seconds into the game with a busted lip and chipped tooth, resulting in a game against an undermanned, super-lottery-bound Hakws squad where it still wasn't totally obvious most of the way who the playoff-bound roster was. The real scoreboard watching to be done as a Sixers fan on Tuesday was for the Hornets-Pacers and Rockets-Lakers games, which remarkably both fell as the Process Phaithful would've hoped: The Hornets crushed the largely-resting Pacers in their 82nd game to finish the season at 36-46, while the Lakers fell to the Rockets at home to move to 34-47 for the year.
