What an absolutely brutal loss for the Los Angeles Lakers Thursday against the L.A. Clippers.
The Lakers played without LeBron James for the fifth straight game because the star forward is dealing with knee soreness. The Clippers did not have Kawhi Leonard or Paul George.
The Lakers trailed by 17 points in the third quarter until Russell Westbrook broke out of a funk and sparked a comeback that resulted in the Lakers taking the lead.
Both teams exchanged big buckets in the final minute, and any of them could’ve been the winner. For the Clippers, that shot belonged to Reggie Jackson’s layup with 4.1 seconds remaining.
With no timeouts, Anthony Davis rumbled down the court and put up a floater that rimmed out. Watch the madness unfold below (h/t: Bleacher Report):
