LAC outplayed LAL in every facet of the game, outshooting LeBron and company 49 percent to 42 percent, while outrebounding their hallway rivals 57-47.

The Clippers moved to 37-29, which currently places the club in seventh place in the West.

By comparison, the Lakers now stand at 30-34, five games out of the conference’s final playoff spot, which at the moment is held by the San Antonio Spurs.
