LOS ANGELES --The LA Clippers continued their winning ways Tuesday night and took advantage of LeBron James' absence. The Lakers superstar was sidelined due to left ankle injury and watched helplessly at the bench as his Lakers fell 127-116 to their locker room rivals LA Clippers.




Kawhi Leonard had 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, including three key ones in the fourth when the Clippers were clinging to a narrow lead. This is the second triple double of Kawhi's career as the Clippers won three in a row and their first W against the Lakers this season.

D'Angelo Russel led the Lakers with 27 points and 10 assists while Anthony Davis had 26 points and 12 rebounds as the Lakers fall to 9th place in the Western Conference standings with a 22-23 record.

Russel Westbrook and the Clippers established momentum early in the game with the former Laker going beast mode attacking the Lakers defense every possession and at one play, converts a three-point shot shoeless.

With the win, the Clippers are in 4th place in the Western Conference standings and will visit the Toronto Raptors this Friday to open up a seven-game road trip.
