The Los Angeles Lakers improved to 3-0 in the NBA Cup this season by outpacing the cross-town Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. With the victory, they clinch the group and secure a spot in the quarterfinals, where they will fight to become the third team to hoist the in-season honor.
We are still early in the NBA Cup era and part of the effort to make these games stand out is to have the teams play on colorful alternative courts so viewers can know immediately what they are watching. These courts tend to draw attention, but not the kind of attention Luka Dončić paid to the one the Lakers used on Wednesday.
