Lakers falter down the stretch in loss to the Clippers

LOS ANGELES – Game of runs, indeed.

A majestic stretch that allowed the Lakers to open up a double-digit lead heading into halftime was unfortunately eclipsed by a 17-5 run in the last 6:38 of the game, allowing the Clippers to complete a late comeback and win, 111-106.

With both of their stars wearing the ‘questionable’ tag heading into the game, Frank Vogel’s squad put on a gritty performance that had them leading midway through the 4th quarter.

That was possible, in part, thanks to an excellent performance from Kyle Kuzma.

The Flint (Michigan) native came out firing, showcasing a white-hot outside shot and mixing in his deep repertoire of finishes.
