76ers stop record skid with win over Lakers in Kobe's final game in hometown
- 8 years ago
Kobe Bryant breezed through the Philadelphia 76ers' locker room and said to no one in particular, "Keep it going, guys."
His homecoming game spoiled, Bryant said one final goodbye to Philly, which is winless no more.
With the spotlight on Bryant during the final game of his career in his hometown, the Sixers stole the show and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 103-91 on Tuesday for their first victory of the season.
It was the first win for the Sixers since March 25 at Denver.
"Finally," forward Nerlens Noel said.
Coach Brett Brown's team has long languished at the bottom of the NBA standings and has reeled off two losing streaks of at least 26 games in his three seasons.
