AP reports that in Los Angeles, The Los Angeles Lakers beаt the Los Angeles Clippers 106–103 on Sunday night, ending a four-game losing streak. LeBron James scored 25 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and handed out seven assists. Taurean Prince made a game-winning 3-pointer with 1:17 left in the game.

The Lakers beаt the Clippers for the second time in a row after losing 11 games in a row to their foes from across the hall. Anthony Davis scored 22 points and grabbed 10 boards.

The Lakers held on for only their fourth win in 14 games since winning the NBA’s first-ever in-season tournament. James and Davis led the way, but Prince and D’Angelo Russell also made important plays down the stretch.

Davis said, “We played like we had to win like it was a must-win.” “We played basketball against each other on both sides.” We just need to build on it. We know what’s in the locker room. The way we played tonight showed that we know how to win.

James set the tone with a vicious dunk on Paul George soon after halftime. The Lakers never trailed in the fourth quarter, even though they lost a 10-point lead. Still, they couldn’t let out a breath until Norman Powell’s 3-point shot went in and out at the buzzer.

“Overtime,” James answered when asked what he was thinking as he watched Powell make the shot. “For sure, it looked good. Online right now. We need to keep getting better. Please try to use this to help us play a little better. Even though we played better, it doesn’t change how we’ve been playing for the last 11–12 games.

The Clippers’ five-game winning streak came to an end. Paul George scored 22 points and Ivica Zubac scored 22 points and grabbed 19 rebounds. The first game James Harden played against the Lakers since being moved to the Clippers was against them, and Kawhi Leonard scored 15 points. Harden also had nine assists. The Lakers have won 14 of their last 17 games.

Lue said, “We just didn’t play a good оffensive game.” “The offense didn’t work well during the game.” I thought our defense was pretty good, but we couldn’t find a balance or flow on offense.”

Before Russell’s third 3-pointer early in the fourth, neither team had a lead of 10 points or more. The Clippers came back with nine straight points in the last few minutes, and Powell’s three free throws with 2:19 left tied the game. During this time, the Lakers went 2 for 7 and turned the ball over six times.

But Russell set up Prince for a big 3-point shot, which was one of his best since joining the Lakers.

In the last 4.2 seconds, Harden missed one of two free shots, and Austin Reaves made the other one. This kept the game close. Powell looked good, but he couldn’t tie his tie.

Leonard said, “There will be times when you won’t play very well.” It’s important to praise the Lakers. They started out angry and full of energy. Bron and AD both played great, and they led their team to win.

Russell gave the Lakers 13 points and three 3-pointers in his return game after missing three games with a bruised tailbone. The Lakers had not beaten the Clippers in three years until they won in overtime early this season.

The Lakers’ coach Darvin Ham said of the Clippers, “From what I can tell, they’re a championship team.” “Playing very good basketball, there are many threats all over the place.” That is a big, huge win. A great win to get back on track.

The Clippers played their last game as a “visiting” team in their building unless they play each other in the playoffs. It was a big moment for the team. The last two games between these two Los Angeles teams this season will be “home” games for the Clippers.

The Clippers and Lakers have shared the building known as Staples Center since it opened in 1999. After years of struggling, the Clippers have finally become a real foe in the last ten years.

The Intuit Dome, owned by billionaire Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, will open in Inglewood next season. This will finally give the team its own place to play after 25 years of living with the Lakers’ title banners.
