After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers squeaked past the Clippers 103-102. Lakers' offense had its way with the Clippers. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
