After a demanding overtime win on Tuesday over the Utah Jazz, the Los Angeles Lakers had to take the court again the following night against the Los Angeles Clippers, a team they have almost never beaten dating to the 2012-13 season.
It was thought LeBron James and Anthony Davis would be held out of this contest, but both played, as did D’Angelo Russell. In addition, backup center Mo Bamba, who had missed about a month with a sprained ankle, was made available.
