The Los Angeles Clippers (49 - 28) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers (16 - 61) at Staples Center on Tuesday, 103 - 81. Not long ago, the final score of this game would have favored the Lakers, but over the past few seasons, the Clippers have had little trouble handling their hometown opponents. The Lakers shot their way out of contention early in the game, and the theme continued throughout the remaining quarters. As a unit, Kobe Bryant and company shot 31 percent from the floor with only two starters finishing in low double figures. Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell looked completely out of whack and combined for just 22 points on 8 - of - 30 shooting, while Bryant finished with a lowly six points on 2 - of - 12 shooting. Clarkson did get his right foot and leg stepped on during a scrap and will receive x - rays. Initial reports suggest he is doubtful for the rematch against the Lakers on Wednesday. The remaining starters, Roy Hibbert and Julius Randle, did not make a field goal. The Clippers were led by Chris Paul and Jeff Greene’s impressive showing off the bench. Paul finished with 25 points, four rebounds and eight assists on a lights out 10 - of - 14 shooting, while Greene added 21 points in 31 minutes. Blake Griffin is still getting accustomed to being back on the court, and struggled in his second game back from injury/suspension. The all - star forward scored only four points on 1 - of - 5 shooting, but only played 16 minutes, as Doc Rivers gets slowly adds more minutes each game back. DeAndre Jordan dominated the glass on his way to 14 rebounds. The Clippers shot 51 percent as a unit and sliced their way through multiple Lakers defensive breakdowns as reflected by their 26 team assists. The Staples Center will host another installment of the Clippers against the Lakers on Wednesday, with the latter getting the technical home game.
