Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Clippers challenge is successful.

– Covington played all but 50 seconds (+12) – 11:18 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter Dwight Howard is 5 for 9 for 14 points, but the rest of the Lakers are just 8 for 29, including 1 for 13 from 3, as they trail 46-33 with 5:15 left in the 2nd Q.
Bench is a combined 2 for 11, compared to LAC’s bench going 9 for 14 (Kennard 3 for 3 from 3). – 11:01 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Clippers held Lakers to 32% FGs, 0/10 3s in first quarter to take a 24-22 lead.
Nicolas Batum blocked a 3 to go with a couple of assists. Will be interesting to see how Robert Covington impacts this game; they’re going to need him to make shots in addition to the stocks. – 10:43 PM

Dwight Howard leads the Lakers with 8 points and 9 rebounds (5 offensive). LeBron James and Russell Westbrook are a combined 4 of 11. The Lakers are 0 of 10 on 3-pointers. The new starting group was clunky offensively. – 10:42 PM

Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski Another strong game for D’Angelo Russell with 19 on 6-10. This game would be all the way out of hand if not for him. And it’s teetering on that brink right now – 9:32 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan Mavs have started 7 of 7 from the field (including a Dwight Powell 3-pointer, so you know it’s legit) and are on track to never miss another basket again. – 9:14 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA I don’t want to say DLo is as good as Chris Paul at the rip through. But I don’t know how you can make much distinction — DLo gets it every time they’re at four team fouls. – 9:08 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305 Great sequence right there
Tyler Herro stays right with Fournier for the perfect contest, then Kyle wastes no time getting down the floor
Great pass, and great tip in from Omer
The PnR attack has kept them in it – 8:31 PM
