LeBron James’ 46-point barrage helps the Lakers whittle a 23-point deficit to 10 in the fourth quarter, but the Clippers’ All-Stars combine for nine points in two minutes to restore order in a 133-…
LOS ANGELES — LeBron James hit a 26-foot 3-pointer – his ninth – that cut the Clippers’ lead to 10 points midway through the fourth quarter and Coach Tyronn Lue immediately called a timeout.
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George took the challenge and combined for nine points in two minutes before exiting the game with the lead safely back to 20 points. The rest of the team held it together in the final minutes“When we came to the huddle, we said that we were still up 10 points and you know this team isn’t going to quit,” Leonard said. “We wanted to come out and still push the pace and get those stops.
The Clippers got off to a fast start, hitting 15 of their 19 3-pointers in the first half for a 77-54 lead. Then, as it has happened so many times this season, they hit a lull in the third quarter to give the Lakers an opening. James scored 13 points in the quarter and Thomas Bryant scored five of his 15 points, but the Clippers hung in.
