Wesley Johnson scored 16 points for the Lakers, who set a dubious franchise record with their 56th loss. Tarik Black and Jabari Brown added 10 points apiece as the Lakers lost for the fifth time in six games.

The score was 83-54 entering the final stanza and Turkoglu hit back-to-back 3-pointers to start the period and boost the margin to 35, and the Clippers led by as many as 43 while sailing to the finish.
