De’Anthony Melton was in a taking mood when the Los Angeles Lakers came to town. The Philadelphia 76ers guard has one of the best games of his career on both ends of the court, proving to be a steals and three-point magnet as the fifth-year pro lights up the Lakers with a steady barrage of both, and the 76ers would need every one of them in a tight 133-122 overtime victory on December 9, 2022. Melton scored a career-best 33 points on 11 of 16 from the field — including an 8 for 12 mark from downtown — and also mixed in four rebounds, two assists and seven steals, becoming the first player this season and second ever to make eight triples and come up with seven steals in the same game. · Dec 10, 2022
