.Woefully undermanned on the night, the Lakers pulled out their best performance of the season on Wednesday, knocking off the Clippers for the first time since the NBA bubble, 130-125.
LeBron James looked as dominant as ever, pouring in 35 points on 13-19 shooting. D’Angelo Russell had a second consecutive strong showing with 27 points while Anthony Davis had 27 points with 10 rebounds, though his defensive impact was as remarkable as anything on the night.
The Lakers were dealt blows on the injury report throughout the day. Rui Hachimura, who missed Monday’s game against the Magic, was ruled out on Wednesday with concussion symptoms.
