Without Luka, LAKERS, FUELED by Grimes, Sexton, and STRONG DEFENSE, Beat Clippers

The Lakers were without Luka Dončić and Ziaire Williams on Wednesday at the Intuit Dome against the Clippers, he second night of their back-to-back set. The league's best offense definitely looked a lot different (to be charitable) with Luka in street clothes, but the results defensively were great. The Lakers kept the clamps on the Clips, winning 103-87. This was definitely a game that was won on the defensive end. That will be satisfying given how ineffective they were on that side of the ball against Portland on Tuesday. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: No Luka, but Lakers win. SEGMENT 2: Defense steps up. SEGMENT 3: Quality win given the context. PHOTO CREDIT: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Quo Money is on the line.
