Kawhi Leonard had a game-high 35 points and led a third-quarter rally to lead the Clippers to a 111-106 victory over the Lakers on Christmas Day.
But on Christmas Day, on a rare day the Clippers were at full strength, the Lakers couldn’t close.
Clippers star Kawhi Leonard led all scorers with 35 points, while the Lakers got more than 20 points each from LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma. Paul George, who missed the season-opening matchup between the teams, scored 15 points for the Clippers, with five rebounds and three assists. Clippers reserve Montrezl Harrell scored 18 points, making eight of 12 shots.Kuzma also missed the season opener, which was partly why the Lakers bench got outscored 60-19 in that game.
Defense was a big part of why the Lakers led the Clippers early. JaVale McGee notched five blocks while James, Davis, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Dwight Howard each got at least one.
