Sharman's lineup dilemma evident in Lakers loss
Lakers coach Bill Sharman faced a persistent lineup problem as Los Angeles fell 103 to 97 to the Philadelphia 76ers at the Forum. He shuffled guards Pat Riley and Brian Winters, moved Winters to forward, then brought in Gail Goodrich and Stu Lantz, but the team lacked consistent defense and scoring balance. Carter and Collins led the 76ers with 29 and 25 points respectively, while the Lakers struggled to slow them and cope with injuries and mixed performances across starters.
