LOS ANGELES — It’s certainly tempting to overreact to Wednesday’s Christmas tilt between the Lakers and Clippers, in what ended up being a 111–106 win for the Clips. Do the Clippers have the mental edge? Are the Lakers frauds? Should Kevin Hart be allowed back at Staples Center after leaving early during a close fourth quarter? After a tightly contested matchup, it’s probably not worth trying to make too many sweeping conclusions based off a game that could have gone either way. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing to take away, however. And for that, let’s go straight to the fourth quarter.
