Kawhi Leonard scored team-high 25 points for the Clippers, leading his team to the victory over the Lakers (125-118).
NBA legend Charles Barkley says that the two-time NBA champion sent a clear message to the city rivals that he is the king of Los Angeles.
“The Lakers ain’t gonna make no run,” Chuck said, via ClutchPoints. “Kawhi Leonard ran ’em out of the building last night… Kawhi sent them a message last night. He’s the king of LA.”
The win elevated the Clippers (42-38) to the fifth place in the Western Conference while the Lakers (41-39) remained seventh.
