How The LA Clippers Got A SHOCKING Win Against The Lakers To Snap Their 5 Game Skid
Los Angeles Clippers snap a five-game skid with a statement 103-88 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, reigniting city bragging rights. Kawhi Leonard leads the charge with 32 points and 12 rebounds, proving once again that the Clippers are a different team when he hits 30-plus. James Harden and John Collins step up with crucial plays, while Brook Lopez and Kris Dunn’s performances suggest the bench might finally be turning the corner just in time.
Die hard LA Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri breaks down the Clippers’ lockdown defense, improved three-point shooting, and the impact of key Lakers absences—including Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves. He questions whether Brook Lopez can fill the void after Ivica Zubac’s injury and explores if this momentum shift is enough to ignite a real winning streak or simply a blip against a depleted Lakers squad. Clippers fans, is this a turning point or just a sweet one-off against your biggest rival?

Dime, do you think we’ll have Yanic play some minutes if Zu is out?
Every game between the Lakers and the Clippers means something. Battle of Los Angeles!
So the only way they could beat the Lakers was to have the Lakers have 4 of their 5 starters out hurt.. and still it would take kwahi and harden playing over 42 minutes just to beat LeBron 😂
Best Collins game yet, especially his 3rd Q went a long way to help the W
Zu and DJJr get well soon
Best energy in the building all season! I hope Zu is alright. Great win!
They only get up for the Lakers and AR and Ayton were missing lol. Clippers will re-start their loosing streak next game … guarantee it.
Zubac torn achilles
Since yall are dog trash, I reckon the ppl in the comments didn't actually tune in to the game. Yall played a 40 yr old man, Luka and a bunch of G league players. Don't get your hopes up. Another 10 game slide incoming.
John Collins is so good except for his brain on defense apparently
Yes Clippers win 👍, if teams want to keep winning needs to let Franks, Ty , Zu, Harden, Bogi go or make a trade if not, Clippers not going to make a playoffs, I hope I’m wrong
I'm happy for him and his team getting a win no matter the context but the fun episodes are when he crashes out.
Lakers fans sensitive as fuck in the comments huh
#BringbackCP3 do it over do it the right way on his way out. Goat Clipper
I wasn’t shocked and I’m a lakers fan. The lakers don’t play defense. Clippers win and lose when they want to, Lakers 3 point shooting stinks. Had they lost Ty would not have been fired playing with house money,
They talk clipper injuries. Lakers were without 4 guys. Not hating those gave them credit on Facebook. But those are facts Clippers/Lue win or lose when they want they lost 2 Memphis and Phoenix. 5 times combined.
Reason they lost 8 in a row home tried to get coach fired or he tried to get hisself fired didn’t work.
Kawhi Leonard won’t be hurt harden won’t be hurt. Kawhi can suddenly play every game. Good job credit him. Those 10 he missed were the last misses last month.
Credit the Clippers but also Lakers not playing defense. Lakers fans knew the defense was terrible this all time bad. If Lakers win or lose same defense.
Bucks fan here. I just want to thank the Clippers for gifting us KPJ for absolutely nothing. He has averaged around 19 pts per game while also playing good defens and is only 25 years old. Clippers always find a way to Clipp.
I love you Darian, but that hat is way too big for your head, brother. The brim is about 150% as wide as your face. The sides of the cap are sitting as wide as your ears. You look like a little kid trying on his father's cap.
Momentum boost. Time to go on a winning streak, end the year the clippers way!
i don’t think brook lopez gets a good take , he plays limited minutes and even out the rotation . i think he’s gonna strive with zu out . 3 point threat and better rim protector
I enjoyed seeing Kawhi be aggressive when he tried to dunk on smart I liked that he went for it
LeBron has always had his way with Lue coaching. It looks almost on purpose, like a “thank you for getting me a ring thing” to him.
