After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers snuck past the Clippers 99-94. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
