Lakers lose 118-111. Lakers fought well but couldn't overcome the refs whistles. I'm very pleased with how the Lakers competed.

Moral victories....

Well, at least the game was fun. Sucks we let this one get away. Didn't help that the Clippers got every foul they wanted and the Lakers could get none. Lin gets hammered, no call and then FTs the other way. Sigh.

Would have liked to see Kobe drive with CP3 on him. Clipps were out of fouls.

We lost this game on defense though. Why not even try to double Blake till it was too late?

they need to play like this every game, will be fun to watch. good to see clarkson get some burn and hit a big 3 too.

wesley = fail. touch foul 3 on crawford changed the outcome of the game. add that to wonderful close to the rim lay-out fail.

at least this game gives me hope that the lakers are finally starting to figure out their team plays.

Kobe went cold in the last quarter the defense was on him but he still managed to get off shots obviously they didn't fall.

Lakers defense failed....come on the Clippers managed to score 32 points in the 4th quarter. Their not going to win anything until they figure out how to stop their opponents.

BS should let lin play full 4th quarters in stead of putting him back with 6 mins to go. Big reason for momentum lost/

Good game by the team. They hung in there. Great game by Hill, Lin and Kobe. Thought Kobe played a much more balanced game tonight. Struggled there in the 4th, but all in all, very balanced. Lin was more aggressive. Hill on fire.

Sacre was a numbskull. Had some critical momentum killing turnovers although the first one to end the 3rd was Ronnie's fault.

Kobe shot us out of this one, seems like he wants to play with one more great big man in Jahlil Okafor before he retires. I mean you are 36 years old coming off 2 major injuries, stop taking wild shots in crunch time and pass the ball.

crawford won this for clips. that long 3 pointer made the difference from that point on he was unstoppable. good thing is if lakers continue to play like to tonight they will win games. phoenix turns out to be not a fluke and houston top team so these tough games has helped the offense and i think they'll improve each game. lin looked much more comfortable, kobe facilitated and still got shots but went cold otherwise we would have had our 1st w.

Kobe did a great job regrouping the team after last game.

BS gets props for reorganizing his plan allowing for more 3's which kept the D honest and provided much better spacing.

Gives us hope for things to come.

Kobe went into chucking mode in the final minutes.

Lakers should of penetrated and kick out or draw fouls in the last quarter instead they isolated KOBE.Just wasn't falling for Kobe you live and die with those kinds of plays.

Kobe needs to take more shots. He was out of rhythm. Simple as.

Good effort, we just couldn't close it out. If this is going to be a losing season, please give us a competitive effort like that for every game. (bleep) the Clippers.

lol @ blaming bryant for taking extremely makeable shots over a 6 ft guard. the lakers did a horrible job getting him the ball in the post. besides, the offense was fantastic tonight. they lost because of their defense...again.

James Worthy just said Klay Thompson is as good as Kobe was 8 years ago. why does TWC subject me to this
