Half: Lakers 57, Clippers 48

Kobe Bryant played like there was absolutely nothing wrong with his sprained left ankle, scoring 17 points in the first half of the Lakers' Hallway Series game tonight against the Clippers. Pau Gasol added 14 points on 7-for-10 shooting, which meant he was on the hook for $14,000 in his charity relief effort for victims of the Japan earthquake and tsunami. Blake Griffin had 14 points, including a dunk off a lob from Al-Farouq Aminu. Mo Williams added 12 points for the Clippers, but Eric Gordon was scoreless on 0-for-7 shooting.
