The host Los Angeles Lakers beat the visiting Brooklyn Nets, 125 - 118, on Tuesday. Tuesday's match was an exhibition of the young talent that Los Angeles (7 - 5) has, as third - year forward Julius Randle and sophomore point guard D'Angelo Russell helped guide the team to victory. Randle earned his second career triple - double, posting 17 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. Russell, meanwhile, scored a season - high 32 points and hit a whopping seven three - pointers. Another youngster, guard Jordan Clarkson, had a near double - double off the bench, scoring 12 points and coming away with nine rebounds. Overall, the Lakers were able to ride solid rebounding to a narrow victory, as they came away with an eight - board advantage at the end of the day. Brooklyn (4 - 7) suffered its second loss in two days at Staples Center, after being demolished by the Clippers on Monday. Center Brook Lopez was able to rest in Monday's matchup and showed off his fresh legs with a 30 - point, 10 - rebound double - double against the Lakers. Guard Bojan Bogdanovic, meanwhile, built on a solid performance on Monday to deliver an impressive 29 - point outing in the second half of Brooklyn's back - to - back. Minimal bench contributions were seen for Brooklyn, however, as the team fell to two games below .500. The Nets will visit the Thunder on Friday, while the Lakers will host the Spurs on that same day.
