UNDISPUTED Chris_Broussard received a text confirmation from a source who would know that it's "totally true" the Clippers tanked to avoid the Lakers:

Clippers go back to Harden in the corner for the tie and like an unreliable roommate he fails to deliver

StatMuse Lakers are 7-2 in their last 9 games They are 3 games back from the 4th seed

LeBron leaves Harrison Barnes open several times in the fourth quarter as the game slips away from the Lakers

Chris "Point God" Paul hits the uncharacteristic deep heat check! He is taking over the game!
