After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Clippers 84-79. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
