His performance Los Angeles Lakers in classic suede LA Clippers can be defined by Patrick Beverley’s rendering: lots of will, energy and more defensive intensity than in the opener against the Warriors, but a complete ineffectiveness from circulation. Darvin Ham’s perimeter broke the hoop and without doing much, They, led by Ty Lue, hung on for a 103-97 victory.
1 for 7 for Beverly, 0 for 11 for Russell Westbrook and another 0 for 7 for Kendrick Nunn. 1 of 25 from the field between three of the primary ball carriers on the Laker roster. Even on a night where they defended to the max and found good performances from LeBron James (20 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists) and Anthony Davis (25 points and 8 rebounds), the locals’ lack of success (9 of 45 from three ) It ended up being irreparable. Again.
In the Clippers, a team in which no one exceeded 15 points, history passed Kawhi Leonard’s return after nearly 500 days of official absence. Leonard came out as alternativeresponding to his logic load managementand finished with 14 points and 7 rebounds in 21 minutes.

Clippers win. The Lakers ran out of closing weapons, and the complete inefficiency of Westbrook (0 for 11 shooting) and Beverley (1 for 7) ended up costing him dearly. With not much to spare, Lou’s men took the lead and knew how to protect it until the close: 103-97, with no player exceeding 15 points.
Lakers Showtime! For the first time we see the vision of the California board in the composition of this roster: young and athletic signings play a key role, along with Beverley and a majestic LeBron, to crush the Clippers in this stretch. Very good passes from Toscano and Walker to put Ham’s men ahead: 89-87.

LeBron! Terrible hammer blow from the Akron star, showing all his athletic credentials. The Lakers are down 85-77 after three quarters. There’s a party.

15-0 Clippers. It looked like the Lakers were ready to play a close game until the end, but a 15-0 start by the Clippers calls that feeling into question. Zubac continues to find plenty of comfort in the paint and already has 14 points and 13 rebounds to lead the advantage for Lue’s men. And to top it off, Kawhi started warming up his hand.

Face to face, front and back. When a game with a noticeable superiority of the Clippers can be perceived, the Lakers keep exchanging shots and the score remains tied (65-65) midway through the third quarter. All of Hamm’s team is playing better than in the debut in San Francisco, but especially Anthony Davis who is already the best player on the court: 20 points for AD.
Great Laker closing. Now the Lakers have been able to lead several consecutive minutes at a high level, both defensively and offensively. With Davis (15) and LeBron (12) in the lead, plus much more intensity in the brand, Ham’s men closed the half tied: 56-56. In the Clippers, the first minutes appeared for Kawhi: 4 points and 2-5 from the field for Leonard.
𝗔𝗡-1!

Just outbursts. The Lakers’ theme seems to stick to only some sporadic reactions, but the Clippers are quickly slipping away. Zubac dominates the very thin Jones in the paint with gusto and Lue’s men lead 48-36 on a quick 7-0 run.
Matt Ryan to the rescue. The Lakers’ until recently unheralded shooting guard is getting plenty of minutes again and is beginning to respond: five straight points to cut the deficit to five and force Ty Lue to take a minute. 41-36 Clippers.
The Clippers were released. By the end of the first period, Lu’s men had taken over the shares and made big differences. Big revenue from Wall, good passing from George and Powell, helped by a very low defensive level from the Lakers (8 for Walker and AD), so that today visitors 35-23 win after 12 minutes.

Parity at the start. The early passes were closed, with Zubac finding easy points in the paint and Walker getting off to a positive start for the Lakers. 14-12 for the Clippers, without Leonard on the court, after six minutes.

Kawhi Leonard, alternate
The forward missed the entire 2021-2022 season due to a right knee injury suffered during the 2021 Playoffs and will make his official return (he already played in the preseason) against the Clippers’ classic rivals. Another duel for the history of LeBron vs. Leonard, who will start the game as a substitute. The reason? Take care and manage your minutes.
