LAKERS 112 76ers 98...LAKER Gang PG NASHty says 19 is the new 40 as he leads the LAKERS past PHILLY...LAKER GAng's #1 Soap "2014" It's your Birthday Suit #LAKERnation #LAKERgang

The L.A. Lakers need to tell Steve Nash your Birthday is on every game day as the two-time NBA M.V.P. turned the Clock back on his 40th Birthday on the Sixers. The Lakers down 64-61 at the break outscore Philly 51-34 in the 2nd half to pull away to a 112-98 "W".

Nash led the Lakers with 19 points on a modest 8 of 15 from the field as five other Lakers hit double-figures led by 17 apiece from both Chris Kaman and Wes Johnson. Rookie Ryan Kelly added 15 and grabbed eight Oranges as the Lakers improve to 18-32. They simply beat the Sixers by not turning the Orange over like Philly did. Sixers had 22 turnovers but also had a + 21 from the Arc to no avail because they didn't take care of the Orange...period!

Philly was led by Tony Wroten Jr's 16 points as six more Sixers were in double-figures. Spencer Hawes went double-[double with 15 and 11 as "E.T. phone Broad Street" Evan Turner added 15 and seven boards to the Sixers Croc Pot. Philly falls to 15-36 and they are just two season removed from a Eastern Semifinal Appearance...and how bout' them Cheesesteaks. That have to be looking to make a few moves after the All-Star Break as they blow it completely up and start over.
