After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers snuck past the Clippers 100-99. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
