Lakers fail to even season series on Christmas Day vs. Clippers

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are adjusting to a new schedule, failing to come through on Wednesday night against the Clippers. While James and his co-star Anthony Davis had big nights, the better part of the Lake Show was cleared out on Wednesday night. The Lakers lost 111-106 on Wednesday night.

LeBron led the way for his team. But he and Davis combined for 47 total points while Kawhi Leonard had 35 on his own. While home feelings are difficult, Paul George had 17 points. While James and Davis had big games, Kyle Kuzma showed that he can bring high-quality play with 25 points.

The Lakers are a strong team but are now losers of four in a row. The best news for them is that they are playing a Blazers team that doesn’t know how to lead itself. The Lakers are one of the best teams in the West but will not be a team that teaches their opponents about how to play.
