Earl Clark's hot streak ended Tuesday night.
The Lakers forward finished a comfortable LA win over Milwaukee with six points, eight rebounds, four assists and a block in 24 minutes. It's a low-level line and quiet compared to his previous outings.
Coming into the night, Clark was averaging 10.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, .2 steals and 1.4 blocks with two three-pointers made in his last five games. He double-doubled in two of those games, also playing more than 30 minutes in two of those games.
It'll be interesting to see how Clark fits in when Pau Gasol (concussion) returns. The Lakers host the Miami Heat Thursday on TNT.
