As they did in their previous two games, the Los Angeles Lakers fell behind big on Wednesday, this time to the Los Angeles Clippers and by as many as 23 points.
But this time, the Lakers weren’t able to come back and win.
They made a bit of a run in the fourth quarter to make things interesting, coming within 10, but the Clippers were simply too much.
Kawhi Leonard and company came out red-hot early, jumping to a 9-0 lead, and they seemingly couldn’t miss from 3-point range, going 15-of-23 from that distance in the first half.
The Purple and Gold also were outrebounded, 47-32, as their lack of size and length were evident in the paint and while rotating defensively.
It resulted in a 133-115 loss, which was the Lakers’ fifth loss in their last eight games.
