Kawhi looking so crisp, closest thing to MJ. Not saying Leonard's been better than LeBron, but just in terms of game similarity as a complete player, defensively in particular. Kawhi en fuego! Has 18 points in the 1st-term, the Clippers up 13. The margin remains the same going into halftime. Can't believe how much they talk about Reaves during Lakers games... When he has high-scoring games, it's from flopping and being gifted free-throws. Maybe that's why he's been struggling thus far this season. LeBron keeping the Lakers in touch, they actually bring it back and take a 2-point lead going into the last. George with back to back contested 3's, Zubac having a really poor game for the Clippers though, allowing Davis to dominate the paint. With the Lakers up, George makes back to back baskets down the stretch and gets fouled on a 3-point attempt, makes them all, sending it to OT. George with 20 points in the 4th, including sitting the bench in foul trouble. He gets fouled out early in OT and Leonard with all the defensive attention on him, gives the Clippers a chance, but given almost no help. Reaves flopping into everyone heh and the Lakers get it done. The Lakers shot better from the field, the Clippers from 3. The Lakers with much more production at the line and +5 on the boards. James with an efficient 35 points, 7 assists, 12 boards and 2 blocks. Davis 27 points, 10 boards, 4 blocks and no turnovers. Russell 27 points and 6 assists. For the Clippers, George with a super efficient 35 points, 6 boards and 2 steals. Leonard an efficient 38 points, 5 assists, 6 boards and 2 steals.
