Carr, the 24th pick in last month’s NBA draft out of Baylor, shot 8 for 18 from the field and 3 for 10 from 3-point range on a night when the Lakers shot 38.1% (13 for 34) from behind the arc.
Second-year guard Kobe Sanders had 18 points and six rebounds to pace the Clippers (1-2). Rookie guard Keaton Wagler, the No. 5 pick in the draft, had 16 points on 6-of-15 shooting to go with six rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes. Second-round draft pick Nick Martinelli added 12 points and 10 rebounds in 26 minutes.
The Lakers held an eight-point lead after the first quarter and doubled the margin for a 54-38 advantage by halftime. The lead grew to 23 points after three quarters, and the Clippers (5 for 21 from 3-point range) couldn’t shoot their way out of the hole.
