In Los Angeles, the Lakers outlasted the Clippers 97-89. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
