LOS ANGELES, CA -The Los Angeles Clippers (7-5) continued their dominance over their rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers (2-9), by beating them 114-101 at the Crypto.com Arena.

Seven players for the Clippers were in double figures, with Paul George leading the way with 29-points, Norman Powell with 18-points, Reggie Jackson with 14-points, Luke Kennard with 13-points, Marcus Morris Sr. with 11-points, and Ivica Zuback and John Wall both with 10-points.

Before Lebron James went out in the fourth quarter with a leg injury, he had 30-points, Anthony Davis with 21-points, Troy Brown Jr., and Russell Westbrook both with 14-points

"I was proud of how we came out in the third quarter and took control of the game again," Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. "Just being able to get it back in the second half and understanding it's a competition, not a show. I know it's the two LA teams, but we're playing to get better every night, so it's not a show."
