Lakers' LA Dominance Slips Away vs. Clippers

A change of landscape is occurring gradually in LA. On a night where Kobe Bryant lead the Lakers with 38 points, 0 rebounds, and 3 assists and where Dwight Howard tallied 21 points and 15 rebounds (his best game as a Laker so far), the star power of the Lakers were out-shined by Chris Paul and Blake Griffin as the Lakers fell to the Clippers 102-107, despite great attempts to rally. Steve Nash tallied 12 points and 10 assists while Jordan Hill sparked the bench with 13 points. Pau Gasol and MWP both pathetic performances as they only combined for 4 points on a combined 2-16 shooting. Jodie Meeks, though he did manage to lead the bench with 14 points, couldn't hit his strides early as he missed a couple of open threes that either would've gave the Lakers the lead or tied the game.

Final Score: @ LA Clippers 102-107 [L]
