"The Sixers, along with every team in the NBA, had seen Kobe Bryant take over games.

The Sixers saw it in the first half alone, when Bryant scored 24 points by hitting shots from seemingly every angle.

But it wasn't Bryant, the Lakers' star, who took over the game Monday night. Instead, it was Sixers guard Lou Williams, much to the delight of the sellout crowd of 20,064, who chanted "Beat L.A! Beat L.A.!" down the stretch."
