The Los Angeles Lakers meet up with the Los Angeles Clippers for the second time this season after defeating their cross-town rivals on Christmas Day. The Lakers will be hoping to make it two in a row while the Clippers have their sights set on revenge.
Quarter 1
The Lakers began the game with a starting lineup of D’Angelo Russell, Lou Williams, Nick Young, Julius Randle, and Timofey Mozgov. Typical starting small forward Luol Deng would get the afternoon off for rest.
The Clippers started the game with an easy dunk for DeAndre Jordan out of botched pick and roll coverage from the Lakers, but Los Angeles responded with a Mozgov dunk after Randle drew the defense on a drive.
