The Lakers have given up 120 points a game this season. Tonight, the Lakers put on an emotional basketball clinic in the 2nd half as they outscore the Cavs 55 to 41 after the game was tied at 72.
Julius Randle lead all scorers with 36 points (his career high). Former Cavalier Isaiah Thomas made this game personal for him as he barked at Lue after several scores in the 2nd half. Thomas and Randle connected throughout the night.
Lopez and Caldwell had 22 and 20 points respectively for the Lakers.
With tonight's Cavs loss and the comeback win by the Indiana Pacers against the Boston Celtics, the Cavs have officially fallen to the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference by a 0.5 game.
LeBron James led the Cavs in scoring with 24 points. Nance had 16 points and Zizic, Calderon, and Korver had 15, 14, and 12 points off the bench respectfully. Cavs had no production from JR Smith as he only scored 3 points in 23 minutes of game action.
The Cavs will leave the nightlife of Los Angeles and head to Phoenix Tuesday night.
