Despite having a full roster available at their disposal, the Lakers fell short against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, losing 125-118 in what could be their biggest game of the season.
The loss snaps the Lakers' four-game winning streak and slots them in the 7th seed in the Western Conference standings.
Fresh off playing in an overtime game, LeBron James and Anthony Davis’ availability were very much in question heading into the matchup. Fatigue definitely was a factor as both stars played well below their standards in the first 24 minutes.
The Lakers had no answer for the Clippers’ perimeter shooting in the first half as they poured down threes from everywhere on the court.
