Without LeBron James in the lineup against the Clippers on Monday, the Lakers could've easily decided to lay down without much of a fight. But they didn't and, as frustrating as it is to view this one as a moral victory, it was proof that this team hasn't given up yet. That they're still willing to fight until the wheels fall off in games that matter and that's something they should capitalize on moving forward.
That said, it'll be interesting to see how the Lakers approach this one against the Bulls on Thursday. Will they play like they know they have a chance of climbing above .500 and making a run in the next few games? Or will they once again play down to their opponent and drop another loss like they have done way too often this season?
