NBA: Lakers Beat Clippers 103-87 Without Doncic as Grimes Scores 23
In an NBA game on the night of October 28 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California, the visiting Los Angeles Lakers, playing without Luka Doncic, who was held out with back tightness, beat the LA Clippers 103-87 to rebound from their first loss of the season against Portland the night before.
The Lakers broke the game open with a 16-0 run in the second quarter that turned a two-point deficit into a 45-31 lead, and they led 56-38 at halftime after holding the Clippers to 17.6 percent shooting in the period. Quentin Grimes led Los Angeles with 23 points and four steals, Collin Sexton added 21 points with four 3-pointers off the bench, Austin Reaves scored 16 and Matisse Thybulle 15, as three Lakers set season scoring highs. The Lakers won the rebounding battle 48-41 and forced 24 Clippers turnovers.
The Clippers shot a season-low 35.1 percent from the floor. Rookie Keaton Wagler scored a career-high 21 points, Derrick Jones Jr. added 15 and Darius Garland 14. The Lakers improved to 4-1 and next visit the Golden State Warriors on Friday, while the Clippers have lost three of their last four games.
