We did so much better but still we lost
the game at the end with score being:
105-100. The Clippers' Jamal Crawford
made the attempt to grab a pass next to
our Jeremy Lin on Tuesday in L.A.
Jordan Clarkson led by 20 points, all in
the first three quarters. Tarik Black
added another 16 points and Wesley
Johnson had 15. The Lakers got within
one on a technical free throw by Ryan
Kelly, capping a 17-11 stretch that
included 3-pointers by Jabari Brown,
Johnson and newcomer Dwight Buycks.
Carlos Boozer's jumper left the Lakers
trailing 89-88. The Clippers hung on to eke
out their seventh straight win and 11th. in
their last 12 against the Lakers, their
most successful 12-game stretch in the series
in franchise history.
Coach Byron Scott is giving his endorsement
for Defensive Player of the Year to Jordan.
Scott says "He scares the hell out of
guys and alters shots and he makes
guys think about coming into the middle".
The Lakers have not beaten the Clippers
since October 27. 2013.
Jabari Brown averaged 11 points on 46.6 %
shooting in 27.33 minutes through six games
during his second 10 day contract. In his first
10 day contract, he averaged 7 points on
57.9 % shooting in 20 minutes per night
through 4 games. Since then, Scott has
raved about Brown's confidence, unselfish
play, ballhandling and pick & roll defense.
Brown went undrafted at the University
of Missouri before playing on the Lakers'
training camp roster.
We are winding down on this season and it
will not begin in full again until October.
Until then, we wait it out and hope for
better days up ahead in our future.
