Regular Season Round 106: LA Lakers - LA Clippers 101-125
Date: February 14, 2013
Chris Paul had 24 points and 13 assists, Blake Griffin scored 18 of his 22 points in a spectacular first quarter, and the Clippers cemented their supremacy in Los Angeles with a 125-101 victory over the Lakers on Thursday night. Chauncey Billups hit five 3-pointers while scoring 21 points for the Clippers, who never trailed as they roared into the All-Star break by clinching the season series in their city rivalry for the first time in 20 years. The Clippers have won the Staples Center co-tenants' first three games of the year, with Los Angeles' longtime underdogs burying the 16-time champions in this latest meeting under a wave of 16 3-pointers. Kobe Bryant had 20 points and 11 assists for the Lakers, who head to the break in 10th place in the Western Conference. Caron Butler had 13 points and eight rebounds for the Clippers, who lead Golden State by seven games atop the Pacific Division standings after their fourth straight victory heading into what could be a memorable All-Star game for Los Angeles' teams, which are contributing four of the West's five starters this weekend in Houston. And though the Clippers don't have any banners on the wall or in the rafters to match the Lakers' huge collection, CP3 and Griffin are running Staples Center this season. The Clippers hadn't won this series in a season since taking three of five from the Lakers in 1992-93 - but on April 7, they'll go for the franchise's first season sweep of the Lakers since 1975. The Lakers had won eight of 11 overall heading into this meeting, but the Clippers scored the first 15 points and never trailed. Dwight Howard had 18 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers, who missed their first nine shots and never got closer than 13 points in the second half. Bryant rebounded from his four-point performance Tuesday against Phoenix with a solid game, but the Lakers' defense couldn't keep up with the Clippers' perimeter shooters. Paul, Butler and Matt Barnes hit three 3-pointers apiece. The Clippers appear to be cruising toward the first division title in the woebegone club's 43-year history, dominating the lackluster Pacific and establishing themselves as a legitimate threat to Oklahoma City and San Antonio in the West. They'll need only nine wins after the break to secure the best season in the club's Los Angeles history, and 11 victories for the best year in franchise history, surpassing the 49-win Buffalo Braves in 1974-75. The Lakers are mired in one of the most disappointing years in their history, stumbling into the break at four games below .500 under their third head coach of the season despite adding veteran stars Howard and Steve Nash to their roster last summer. "Enjoy the break, and let's get ready for a big push in the second half of the season," Bryant said to the Lakers' crowd before the game. Instead, Griffin roared out of the gate for the Clippers, scoring their first 10 points and 12 during their 15-0 run to start the game. He outscored the Lakers 18-17 by himself in the first quarter, making nine of his 10 shots. The Lakers erased much of the Clippers' early 16-point lead with a second-quarter rally led by Antawn Jamison, who scored 13 of his 17 points in the period while the Lakers pulled within three points. But Billups led an 11-0 rally late in the period, staking the Clippers to a 64-52 halftime lead. Billups hit three more 3-pointers early in the second half while the Clippers' lead ballooned. The Lakers couldn't keep up, missing 10 of their first 11 3-pointers. Nash scored his 17,000th career point among his seven points on a poor shooting night for the Lakers. He also had five assists to pull within four of matching Magic Johnson for fourth place on the NBA's career list. Courtesy of: miamiherald.com
