LA Lakers vs. LA Clippers Game Summary

The LA Lakers continued their four-game road trip on Saturday, when they made a short trip to the Intuit Dome to face the LA Clippers. The Lakers entered the game as winners of the first two games of their trip, while the Clippers have lost five in a row and nine of their last 10 games.

Coach JJ Redick won't have regular starters Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Deandre Ayton due to injuries. All three players are progressing, with Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia and Jaxson Hayes filling in temporarily for them, respectively. Luka Doncic and LeBron James would do the heavy lifting for this one.

Meanwhile, coach Ty Lue told reporters before the game that the Clippers' goal is to win 35 of their next 55 games. They want to finish the regular season with a 41-41 record, which is a tall task since they are currently 15th in the Western Conference at 6-21.

The LA Lakers entered the contest handicapped with three of their regular starters out injured. It didn't help that Luka Doncic was cold in the first quarter and suffered a leg contusion in the second, ruling him out for the rest of the game.

LeBron James did his best to keep the Lakers afloat, but the LA Clippers were in full power. Kawhi Leonard was unstoppable in the last three quarters after going scoreless in the first. James Harden made history by climbing to the No. 12 spot in the NBA's all-time assists list.

Coach Ty Lue's goal of finishing the season at 41-41 was off to the a great start with a huge win over the Lakers.
