After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Clippers 122-83. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
