The Los Angeles Lakers meeting with the L.A. Clippers marked another meeting between LeBron James and one of his greatest rivals, Kawhi Leonard. The Clippers star only recently debuted this season with this being his fifth game of the year and both he and LeBron delivered.
James led the Lakers with 25 points, five rebounds, 11 assists and three steals while Leonard was extremely efficient with 19 points on 9-of-13 shooting and, most importantly, it was his Clippers who came away with a 116-102 victory.
James and Leonard have faced off countless times throughout their careers on the biggest stages the NBA has to offer and LeBron was happy to see him back on the court and match up with him once again as there won’t be many more.
