After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Clippers 95-93. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
