After Action Report
The Clippers edged the Lakers 96-87. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. The Clippers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Clippers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
