Rookie Dalton Knecht provided a spark with 19 points, drilling five three-pointers, while LeBron James added 17 points and nine assists—finishing the night just one point shy of 50,000 combined career points across the regular season and playoffs.
Kawhi Leonard did his best to keep the Clippers in it, pouring in 33 points, but it wasn’t enough to prevent their second straight loss to their city rivals.
The Clippers (32-28) now find themselves slipping in the standings after back-to-back defeats to the surging Lakers.
