For the second time this season Steve Ballmer's LA team (22-10) got the best of the "other" LA team (24-6), the one with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. But not the one with Kawhi Leonard with Doc Rivers coaching.
It reads like a great game and it certainly was Kawhi who won the battle of the superstars. Leonard had a game high 35 points on a stellar 11/19 including 5/7 from range and 8/8 from the line.12 rebounds and 5 assists. But it was more of a team win for LAC. Montrezl Harrell had 18 (8/12) and 6 boards; Paul George had 17 and 5 and Ivica Zubac had 11 and 8. Four "Clips" in double figures.
Also playing were the aforementioned LBJ who had 23, but on poor shooting, and 10 'bounds, and 9 assists, just missing a 3W; The Brow finished with 24 and 6 but for some reason attempted six treys and made uno. LeBron exactly doubled those long 'uns at 2/12. "Non Existent Inland Bodies of Water" shot a putrid 26.7% from Orange County.
There is yet another goddamned game going on now, an NBA quintuple header on Christmas Day.
