No lame excuses as Lakers clip skid

The Los Angeles Lakers feel like they've spent at least a month short-handed due to injuries and weary from an extraordinarily grinding schedule.

When they finally found an opponent with even more ailments and exhaustion, the Lakers didn't waste the opportunity to snap an embarrassing rivalry losing streak.

Nick Young and Timofey Mozgov scored 19 points apiece and the Lakers ended their 11-game skid against the Los Angeles Clippers with a 111-102 victory on Sunday night.
