LOS ANGELES -- The Lakers can't hit outside shots. That much is clear after L.A. shot 9-for-45 from 3 in Thursday night's 103-97 loss to the Clippers. That total somehow managed to be even worse than the Lakers' 10-for-40 clip from deep in their opening-night loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Yet while LeBron James bluntly lamented his team's lack of "lasers" on the roster after the Warriors game, he did not add to that refrain Thursday, even after the Lakers went 0-for-9 on 3-pointers in the fourth quarter.
