In the Battle of Los Angeles, the Clippers take this round by rallying to beat the Lakers, 118-110.
I'm really becoming concerned on how the Lakers are stumbling to the Playoffs. I mean, are they planning on missing the Playoffs? Losing seven of their last ten is not the best way in a looming series with the Suns, or even the Mavs for that matter.
Kobe got himself his 50, but Odom was just a non-factor (9 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists). Plus the Lakers were just killed in the free throws-- 29 attempts to the Clippers 44. What's worse is the Clippers won the game in the Fourth Quarter, outscoring the Lakers by 15.
This looks bad. An early exit may be in the offing.
