You read about the five things to take from the Lakers’ 123-87 loss Friday to the Clippers at Staples Center. You read about how much things have changed since the Lakers shocked the Clippers on opening night. You read about Pau Gasol conceding uncertainty about the Lakers’ playoff fortunes. You read about the slim dose of good news that Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash could return from their respective knee and back injuries by the end of January.

But pictures always tell a 1,000 words. And in the case of LANG’s photo gallery of the Lakers’ loss to the Clippers, plenty of images that tell various stories.
