The Lakers (2-9) were unable to bounce back in the game against the Clippers (7-5). Their losing streak has been extended to four games as they lost against the city rivals (114-101).

Russell Westbrook who came off the bench to score 14 points, grab 4 rebounds and dish out 9 assists in 30 minutes of play, says it is still a long season and is not yet sounding the alarm.

“I think it’s early, honestly. Long year,” the former league MVP said. “I think the goal is obviously towards the end of the year to be playing in the playoffs playing for a championship, but you can’t look into far ahead, you have to focus on what we do now, taking one at a time and go from there.”
