Reggie Jackson’s Late-Game Layup Seals Victory for Clippers in Battle for Los Angeles

The Lakers were 12.5 seconds away from completing a comeback after trailing the Clippers by as many as 17 in the Battle for Los Angeles on Thursday.

Lakers forward Anthony Davis finished an alley-oop from Russell Westbrook to take a 110–109 lead. But, then Reggie Jackson stole the show.

With the clock winding down, Jackson went the length of the court and dribbled to the left corner baseline. There, he was loosely guarded by Lakers guard Austin Reaves before Westbrook came over to create a double team. Jackson made a spin move and split both defenders to convert on a layup.
