The Lakers fall to .500 with a 119-115 loss to the Clippers, who never trailed in the game and made timely shots whenever the score was close.
As the Lakers fought to grab their first lead of the game early in the second half, LeBron James stood in front of the Lakers’ bench, his arms in the air and his eyes wide open. He wanted the ball and Davis never saw him, instead trying to force a pass inside to Dwight Howard that the Clippers easily defended.
Davis would later misjudge a touch pass to Malik Monk, with Reggie Jackson easily swiping it and taking it the other way, where Morris hit a three while being fouled by Talen Horton-Tucker.In the fourth, it was missed free throws and offensive fouls keeping the Lakers from every nudging ahead, each mistake almost immediately responded to by the Clippers on the other end.
The Clippers celebrated on the Lakers court inside the building they share, fighting off every comeback with a parade of better execution and timely shot making, never trailing in the game.
