The Los Angeles Lakers return home tonight after a seven-game road trip to take on the Los Angeles Clippers in a Christmas night showdown. Check out our live recap:
1st Quarter
D’Angelo Russell, Nick Young, Luol Deng, Julius Randle, and Timofey Mozgov started the game for the Lakers while Raymond Felton, JJ Redick, Paul Pierce, Luc Mbah a Moute, and DeAndre Jordan started for the Clippers.
Both teams started out trading baskets as Felton did a nice job of running the Clippers offense in Chris Paul’s absence. After a couple of baskets by the Lakers, the Clippers went on a little run behind baskets by Redick and Mbah a Moute to take a 20-12 lead midway through the quarter.
