The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the L.A. Clippers for the third straight time this season, 105-102.
It was a back-and-forth affair in the first quarter as both teams struggled to find momentum, but the Clippers struck first and took a 16-point lead in the second quarter.
But the Lakers used a 31-15 advantage in the third to storm back and reclaim the lead, which led to another back-and-forth shotmaking contest in the final 12 minutes.
After multiple long reviews within the final minute, the Lakers had two chances to either win the game or force overtime, but both Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James fell short on their 3-point attempts.
Here is how the Lakers, now 27-32 on the season, graded individually from the loss:
