Good start for the Clippers up 7-zip. Collins with good activity to start.
Zubac a couple of drop steps for 2. Getting hit too no call.
Zu gotta shoot that little floater- risky pass inside got picked off
It's big whenever Dunn can go bingo like that!
Now the reverse by Dunn past Doncic!
Another strip, this time Collins rips it from Doncic- results in the Nico bingo. Clips and their defense has them up 14 early.
Laser pass by Harden inside to Zu for the and 1 slam
Ouch- Zu twists his ankle as James stuck his foot into his landing zone. Zu who's been an ironman has to go to the locker room. That didn't look too good at all.
Clips up 28-15 after one. Offense has stalled a bit, and with Zu going down they'll have to be extra focused the rest of the game.
Lol Brian Sieman says "Outlook is for the Clippers to Excel" after seeing Ballmer & Bill Gates sitting courtside watching the game.
Wow not sure why the Clippers challenged that obvious charge by Kawhi
Brook Lopez drills another bingo! Doing a solid job clogging the paint on D as well.
Way too many turnovers- gotta be smarter on the break
Some phantom fouls on Dunn. Sanders comes in for him and drives in for monster slam!
Kawhi doing a good job attacking the rim thus far
They run away from Kawhi for some reason and he drills the open bingo. At the half, Clippers behind KL's 15, up 54-39.
Lol Lopez banks in a bingo to start the 3rd. Doncic apparently is banged up and won't play the second half.
Collins had the offensive rebound but the ball just trickles off of his fingers outta bounds. It's happened many times this season unfortunately.
Tremendous hustle by Dunn- deflection off James, dives for the ball, and Kawhi gets the layup.
KL a big catch and shoot bingo that was Ray Allen like
Now Collins the bingo, then the block!
Not a pretty 3rd but the Clippers lead by 19 going into the final frame. The effort is there for sure.
Lakers have scored 13 straight now, and it doesn't help that the refs didn't call Lebron for that obvious foul on Kawhi, who missed a chippy layup but got the ball back.
What was that? Harden barely beats the 8 second count, now chucks it up twice after dribbling the clock down and bricks. HUGE bingo there by Collins!
Much better- Dunn the drive and kick to the Beard for the bingo, now KL strips Lebron, slaaaaaaaammmmm dunk!
Once again Harden just dribbles it down and then chucks it- thankfully it goes in this time, and 1 for the 4 point play lol
Why did Luka sit in the 2nd Half?
Clippers are going to win in ugly fashion vs this very shorthanded Laker team. But hey any W at this point is an important stepping stone in the team finding out how to win. Hopefully Zu's ankle injury isn't too severe, but that looked like probably 2 weeks at least.

I think it was his left leg that was bothering him- was kind of limping in the second Q here and there.
I don't think we played super well. Their length and size was bothering us, and we really lack ball handlers.
The contributions from Lopez were huge. Those critical makes really overshadowed his shot selection.
I hope Zu is doing okay. It's tough when a dude as big n' clunky as Ivica is falls awkwardly like that.
I will say this... I DON'T want Collins on this team, but I am becoming more and more excited that he's contributing.
He's a pretty good player, and he offers a lot athletically.... but I never thought I'd see him miss this many open 3's.
Also, I hope Dunn's shoulder is doing alright. His fall looked pretty awkward too...
This season has been so rough, I'm hardly excited about beating the LWord.
Onto the next, a win is a win
