In a loss to the Clippers, LeBron James continues to break father time's arm, scoring 25 points, 11 assists, and 5 rebounds.

James tried to do all he could to keep his team in the game, after the Clippers broke free and had a 20-point lead heading into the third quarter. Anthony Davis, who has had a great season so far, was a bit off last night. Davis finished the game with 16 points and 10 boards. While Davis was struggling to find his rhythm, James was emptying his clip, hitting three-point shots, as well as getting easy lay-ups to will his team back into the game.


However, Zubas and Harden killed whatever last gasp of air that the Lakers had with scoring off of pick and roll and using their height to get second chance opportunities to close out the game. After the game was over, Lakers' HC JJ Reddick was a little bit annoyed with the lay-ups that the Lakers missed. "We missed a lot of lay-ups and missed a lot of threes." The Lakers went 9 out of 27 from rainbow land. Reddick has stated that he wanted the Lakers to take more threes when the opportunity comes, but he was talking about good shot selection. In this game, LA was trying to shoot themselves back in the game and missed key opportunities to cut down the Clippers lead.
