After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers stunned the Clippers 124-122. Lakers' offense had its way with the Clippers. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.

- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
