Lakers-Clippers Crossover: Big Night from Anthony Davis, but Lakers Lose 111-110 to the Clips.

After seasons upon seasons of failed promises about a Lakers-Clippers playoff series, this finally feels like the year... these teams meet in the play-in. Underwhelming? Perhaps. But that's the state of affairs for a pair of L.A. teams both dealing with injuries all season. Granted, the Clippers have clearly outperformed the Lakers in terms of offsetting a lack of star power, which was ultimately the case during a 111-110 nail biter Clipper win. The Lakers got another big performance from Anthony Davis (30 points, 17 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals), plus 21 points from Malik Monk. And to the Lakers' credit, they came back from down big, and fought their way through one helluva fourth quarter. But alas, Reggie Jackson beat Russell Westbrook, Austin Reaves, and anybody else attempting to guard him on the Clippers' final possession, then AD's floater rattled in and out as the final buzzer sounded. Ball game. So what's the state of basketball in Los Angeles? The Kamenetzkys discuss this with Locked On Clippers hosts Charles Mockler and William Updyke. How do these teams stack up against each other? What does Ty Lue (who could have been the Lakers' coach!) do perhaps better than Frank Vogel? And both teams have cashed in their chips and young players for superstars over the last few seasons, but only the Lakers have a title so far to show for it. Do the Clippers have to match that to avoid being considered a failure? (Western Conference banners are cute, but c'mon, folks!) Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT ONE: A breakdown of the game, and what happened down the stretch. SEGMENT TWO: The Kamenetzkys, Charles and William compare Lue and Vogel. SEGMENT THREE: Will the Kawhi-Paul George era be a failure without a championship? Plus, a game!!! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
