After falling 103-97 to the Clippers on Thursday night, the Lakers are officially 0-2 to start their new season.
Although their early record and end result of their most recent contest may suggest otherwise, the Lakers should keep their heads up high largely because of the spirited effort they displayed against their arena neighbors.
Undersized, and even losing Anthony Davis for a portion of the game after he suffered a scary fall, the team scrapped and kept pace with a loaded Clippers squad right up until the final seconds.
Perhaps the biggest deciding factor to the final score was once again the Lakers’ poor perimeter shooting, an area that continues to prove to be their kryptonite.
