The new development on the Lakers’ side was Larry Nance Jr.: 17 points and 11 rebounds in 25 minutes.
Cavs star guard Kyrie Irving will make season debut Sunday
It is reasonable to expect the Cavs to deal with some discombobulation issues as they put out new lineups and adjust some roles. Cleveland led by 17 at the half and built the matgin to as many as 35 in the fourth quarter against the league’s worst team.

The two scored the Clippers’ final 13 points of the game, including three clutch 3-pointers and 4-for-4 shooting from the free-throw line. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. The Lakers have lost six of their past eight games by an average of 27 points.

The Clippers took an 85-57 lead into the fourth, and both coaches rested all their starters until the Lakers started to make a move.
Bryant’s name was chanted late in the game but, symbolic of the times, he stayed on the bench while the second-stringers tried to cap a comeback from a 28-point deficit. He’s undoubtedly been the team’s MVP this season, and his presence is something they can not come close to replacing with any combination of players from the second unit. Pierce and Redick each had 11 points in the third quarter and it seemed to turn the Clippers around.
Bryant has scored the most points in NBA All-Star Game history with 280 and trails only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (19) for most All-Star selections. Blake Griffin gave the team 13 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists while J.J. Redick and Jamal Crawford added 14 and 13 points respectively.
The first voting results for the 2016 NBA All-Star Game, released by NBA.com, have Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant as the leading vote getter by a long shot.

After DeAndre Jordan hit a basket, the Clippers were still playing catch-up, trailing by a point and struggling to stop the Jazz attack.
Coach Doc Rivers of the rival Los Angeles Clippers believes Bryant should be on the team. “G Austin Rivers was bummed about missing his second straight game because of a sprained right ankle – and the timing of it”.
“Listen, I was making a little coffee run (Christmas) morning, got some gas and made a decision to just go on Instagram and peruse”, Bryant told reporters. “I thought it was just all on the defensive end”. “It hurts.”… F Paul Pierce has played on Christmas Day for four different teams in the past four years, including Boston, Brooklyn and Washington.
