Summary

For the first time in all season, the Lakers had the full roster intact and ready to play. And it looked in Friday's game against the Clippers that the Lakers might run away with things, so good was their shotmaking in the first half of the game. But ultimately, the Lakers needed to fight for this one, and it became a pretty satisfying 125-122 win. Luka Dončić led the way for the Lakers with 38 points, which included eight three pointers, along with six rebounds and 11 assists. Austin Reaves? Also excellent, scoring 29 points on 9-15 shooting, grabbing two steals, and drawing a late charge on Bennedict Mathurin that JJ Redick called "the play of the game." There were other solid performances (Redick noted Deandre Ayton and Marcus Smart did a lot of great stuff) and overall the energy was good. Defense? Still needs some work, but with another tough game coming Sunday against Boston, a win on Friday was a big deal.
