The Philadelphia 76ers needed their young star to step up to the plate on Tuesday when they played host to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers were riding a 4-game winning streak and the Sixers were once again playing short-handed without their stars.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are playing the Philadelphia 76ers. James had eight points, five rebounds, five assists and one steal while shooting 2/4 from the field in his first 14 minutes of playing time.
