Lakers 113, 76ers 111 (OT): Jordan Clarkson capped a 26-point effort with a game-winning basket in the final second as visiting Los Angeles outlasted Philadelphia.
Clarkson, who scored six points in the final minute of regulation to help force overtime, also had a career-high 11 assists while Jabari Brown scored a season-high 22 points off the bench for the Lakers, who finished a 2-3 road trip. Wayne Ellington had 20 points and Ryan Kelly contributed 16 points and a career-high four blocked shots as Los Angeles improved to 6-3 in overtime games.
Nerlens Noel finished with 19 points - including six straight down the stretch in OT - and 14 rebounds while Isaiah Canaan added 18 points off the bench for the 76ers. Ish Smith chipped in 17 points and Thomas Robinson added 13 as Philadelphia fell to 6-24 against the Western Conference.
Ellington scored seven points in under two minutes to give the Lakers a 111-105 lead with 1:40 left in overtime left but Noel threw down a dunk and had a tip-in to make it a two-point gap with a minute to go. After missing two free throws, Noel was given a second chance after Robinson's offensive rebound and his jumper tied it with 12 seconds left before Ellington found Clarkson for a layup with 0.9 ticks remaining.
Canaan made five straight free throws in a span of 20 seconds and Robinson had a three-point play as part of a 14-2 surge that gave Philadelphia an 85-81 advantage early in the fourth but the Lakers never went away, rallying to tie it at 98 on Clarkson's runner with 49.9 seconds left. Clarkson forged two more ties in the closing seconds and Smith missed a layup try at the buzzer to force overtime.
