The Los Angeles Lakers head to down the hall to face the Los Angeles Clippers in a Western Conference matchup that was previously known as 'the Hallway Series' due to these two teams once sharing Staples Center. The Lakers are 21-17, which puts them in sixth place. The Clippers are 23-17, which puts them in fifth place.

Here are three Brooklyn Nets takeaways from Friday's 102-101 loss at the Los Angeles Lakers in D'Angelo Russell's return to Los Angeles.
