Hayes left the game Wednesday with a facial contusion after playing seven minutes. Len posted four points on 2-of-5 shooting with seven rebounds in 23 minutes.

The Lakers continued their momentum on the court, rolling to a 122-97 win over the Clippers at the Intuit Dome despite the emotions of a mega-trade.
