LAC vs PHI ScoutingLAC vs PHI Scouting
Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

Maxey's 29 points and seven 3-pointers lead 76ers to fourth straight win over Clippers
INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- — Tyrese Maxey scored 29 points, including seven 3-pointers, Dominick Barlow added 26 points and 16 rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Los Angeles Clippers 128-113 on Monday night for their fourth consecutive victory.
The game featured two big names who weren’t selected as All-Star reserves: Joel Embiid of the Sixers and Kawhi Leonard of the Clippers.
Embiid had 24 points as he continues to gain full strength after a right ankle injury. The Sixers improved to 11-10 without Paul George , who is serving a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA's anti-drug program.
Leonard led the Clippers with 29 points and Jordan Miller had 21 points off the bench.
Los Angeles was without James Harden , who missed his second straight game due to personal reasons. Coach Tyronn Lue said before the game that Harden was at home in Phoenix.
Leonard had two dunks and a 3-pointer in the fourth, but the Clippers couldn't put together a sustained run and he finished the game on the bench.
Maxey, Barlow and Embiid combined to score 22 points in the third when the Sixers were outscored 34-28, but still led 100-87.
The Sixers led the entire game, going up by 23 points before settling for a 72-53 halftime advantage.
The Clippers are 8-3 over their last 11 games as they try to stay within range of at least making the play-in tournament.
Up next 76ers: Visit the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night to finish a back-to-back.
Clippers: Host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. ------
