    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Lakers had referred to it as a getaway game, the last chance for a victory before an intimidating six-game trip.

    It definitely got away from them Tuesday, and with it their tenuous hold on the last playoff spot.
    The Clippers, facing a 12th consecutive losing season, probably won't be playing beyond April, but they were satisfied spoilers, knocking the Lakers back, 110-101, in front of 18,225 Tuesday at Staples Center.

    Corey Maggette had 30 points on nine-for-11 shooting, and the Clippers finished 2-2 against the Lakers this season, the first time they have not lost the season series since 1996-97.

    The Clippers had lost 11of 14 and were in danger of moving a season-low nine games under .500, but Clipper Coach Mike Dunleavy ripped the Clippers after a lackluster loss Monday to the Memphis Grizzlies. The message apparently stuck.

    "I'm just glad our team came back and responded to what Coach said," Maggette said. "It's a good win, especially beating the Lakers."

    The Lakers lost more than a game, falling a half-game behind the Denver Nuggets for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. </div> Source

    ^^ True. I truly think LA can win the next 7 of their next 9 games (very difficult, but possible)

    That would be so huge....but they need to play each game qtr by qtr...win by win...
