LeBron James and Joel and Bede get flagrant.

The Utah Jazz win streak hits double digits, and 19-year-old James Wiseman is wise, man.

Yeah, I went for it.

Twelve game night, got to try some things.

I'm Tasmellis, and this is what you need to know in the NBA for Thursday, January 28th.

Lakers 76ers was the game of the night on Wednesday.

Were we witnessing a preview of a finals rematch 20 years later?

2001, we had Shaq and Kobe versus Alan Iverson and DeKembe Matumbo. No Tailu jokes

allowed. I'll take it. This was fun. Things got testy. The Lakers seemed like they're

destined to be there. And Joel Embed, while he's leading the Sixers and they are having their

best season, and he got the best of

Marcusol in this one, overcoming the Joel Embed stopper, Mark Gasol. But Embed had 28.6 boards,

four assists, and two blocks against that guy who used to stop him. And Gasol paid Philly a very

high compliment after the game. He said, I think all the players accepted

their roles and want to excel in them. They know what they want to live by offensively and

defensively. And that's what appears to make the Sixers team the best version of Embedid

Simmons we have seen. Although there was a scare in the third quarter, Embedde went up for a dunk

and LeBron put two hands on Embed. He put hands on him, and Bede went down hard on his back, but he stayed in the game. Flagrant one for LeBron James on that play, and then Embed hit Anthony Davis with an elbow on the other end. Another flagrant one. It looked like they were about to give up a fragrant loss at the end of this game as well.

Sixers, that didn't make sense.

Sixers were up 12 with three minutes left, but they kind of went into neutral on both ends.

The Lakers went on a 13-0 run and it took a Tobias Harris game winner to seal it for the Sixers.

Harris had 24 and 7.
