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.

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.
