Los Angeles Lakers vs. Brooklyn Nets: Live Score and Analysis

In a wild game that featured an 18-0 run for one team and a 15-0 run from the other, the Los Angeles Lakers (8-8) beat the Brooklyn Nets (4-11) Wednesday night by a final score of 99-94

The Lakers were led by Nick Young's season-high 26 points off the bench. Pau Gasol added 21 points and eight rebounds.

As usual, LA did a lot of its damage from three-point range. The team went 13-of-30 overall from downtown and Jordan Farmar went 5-of-7.

Despite the sharp shooting, the Nets were almost able to rally all the way back from a 27-point deficit. That was thanks in large part to a surprising second-half explosion from Mirza Teletovic. He scored 15 of his 17 points after the break.

Brooklyn's stars continued their mighty struggles this season. Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson and Kevin Garnett combined to shoot 12-of-41 from the field.
