96. 20. Final. 106. 73

MVP: Carlos Boozer continues to play un-tank-like, leading the Los Angeles Lakers with 21 points and 10 rebounds and initiating the offense much of the night from the high post. That statement is a sad reminder of the state of affairs in Los Angeles.

LVP: Lakers point guards. Jordan Clarkson and Jeremy Lin collectively totaled 14 points and 11 assists. They held Ty Lawson to 32 points and 16 assists in a fantastic defensive effort.

Stat of the Night: 61-48. The second half scoreline as the Lakers once again collapsed in the second half for seemingly the 200th time in a row.
