James Harden drives to the hoop as Austin Reaves defends in the first half. “You damn near have to play perfect basketball to beat these guys,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said. “Just overall didn’t play a good mental game and we didn’t do a good job with our coverages, especially defensively,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said.
