The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 102-101, at Wells Fargo Center on Friday night.

The game began encouragingly enough for the underdog Clippers (23-24), which emerged from the first quarter with a 24-17 lead. However, the 76ers (26-19) appeared to change the dynamic of the contest for good in the second quarter, erasing their deficit altogether and building a 14-point advantage going into halftime during a dominant second quarter. After Los Angeles was only able to make a four-point dent in its deficit in the third period, Philadelphia appeared to be on the way to victory, but the visitors fought all the way back to take a three-point lead with 18.2 seconds remaining. Nevertheless, the comeback win wasn't secured until Tyrese Maxey missed a would-be game-winning floating jumper with under a second left.

Reggie Jackson led the Clippers with 19 points, adding nine assists and three rebounds. Nicolas Batum furnished 15 points, seven boards, three assists and two steals. Ivica Zubac and Marcus Morris posted 12 points apiece while pulling down 10 and nine rebounds, respectively. Amir Coffey delivered 12 points and three boards. Isaiah Hartenstein and Luke Kennard generated matching 10-point tallies.

Joel Embiid paced the 76ers with a 40-point, 13-rebound double-double that included six assists and one block. Tobias Harris posted 20 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block. Maxey contributed 19 points, eight assists and two rebounds.

The Clippers remain on the road and visit the New York Knicks on Sunday afternoon, while the 76ers visit the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night.
