Hello everyone. 2 days ago the Clippers played the Lakers, and beat 'em for the third time this season(two of those being in the preseason). Kobe Bryant got 42 points, that being his fourth game straight going above forty. After the first half, the Clippers were winning by 13, but in the third quarter, the Lakers made a little come back bringing them to be only down by 4. Unfortunately, they weren't as good in the fourth, and lost by eight. Kobe Bryant got 42 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. Chris Paul got 33 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals. Blake Griffin got a double-double(which is no surprise) with 22 points and 14 assists. Billups got 19 points, and Butler got 13, and Jordan got 10 rebounds. The Clippers in fact controlled the boards the whole game, ending it 50-42 Clippers, as well as the offensive glass, ending that 17-11 Clippers, despite being the worst rebounding team against the best.
The Clippers opened the game with a 13-4 run, which meant something good was about to happen. The game also got physical. Darius Morris went up for a shot, and Griffin pushed him as he came down. Lakers coach Mike Brown got mad and he was called for a technical, while nothing was called on Griffin. Morris got back though by draining a buzzer-beater from beyond half-court. Let's look at the stats leaders:

Clippers: Chris Paul, 33
Lakers: Kobe Bryant, 42

Clippers: Blake Griffin, 14
