LOS ANGELES — LeBron James delivered an impressive performance with 21 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds, achieving his second triple-double of the season. This effort helped the Los Angeles Lakers secure a 116-106 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, who are struggling in the early part of the season.

Anthony Davis contributed significantly with 31 points, while Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell added 20 and 18 points, respectively, off the bench. The Lakers have maintained their perfect home record this season, rebounding nicely from a challenging 1-4 road trip.

James recorded his 114th career triple-double early in the fourth quarter of the game. Meanwhile, the 76ers were left reeling, dropping to a dismal 1-7 start to the season. Paul George managed to put up only nine points as the team faced the challenges of being without two of their star players. Rookie Jared McCain was a bright spot, scoring 18 points for Philadelphia, which is now on a five-game losing streak.

Former MVP Joel Embiid is serving the second game of a three-game suspension for an incident involving a reporter, and All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey is sidelined due to a hamstring injury that will take him out for at least two weeks.

Bronny James also saw the court, playing the final 1:28 of the game.

**Key Takeaways**
For the 76ers, competing without Embiid and Maxey is proving immensely challenging, with the team’s defense struggling to keep them in the game. The Lakers, on the other hand, saw Cam Reddish in the starting lineup, replacing Russell, and rookie head coach JJ Redick’s strategy appeared to pay off. Russell found his rhythm despite his shift to a reserve role, playing aggressively and comfortably.

**Key Moment**
Philadelphia managed to pull back from an early 13-point deficit just before halftime. However, the Lakers responded with an 8-0 run leading into the break and extended their lead with another 10-0 run shortly after.

**Key Stat**
At 39 years old, LeBron James has recorded seven triple-doubles since surpassing Tim Duncan to become the second-oldest player in NBA history to achieve this milestone. The record for the oldest player remains with Karl Malone, who was 40 years and 127 days when he achieved a triple-double in November 2003.

**What’s Next**
The Lakers will face the Toronto Raptors at home on Sunday night, while the 76ers will host the Charlotte Hornets on the same night, looking to break their losing streak.
