The Los Angeles Clippers secured a dominant 132-100 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night, with Kawhi Leonard leading the way with 31 points. Leonard shot an impressive 10 of 14 from the field, including five of six from three-point range, and made all six of his free throws. Ivica Zubac added 21 points on nine-for-nine shooting, along with 12 rebounds for the Clippers, as they improved to their second straight victory and 10th in 12 games.
The Clippers, who are fighting to hold on to sixth place in the Western Conference, bounced back from a two-point loss to Oklahoma City by sweeping the New York teams. They outscored the Nets 42-21 in the second quarter and 37-21 in the third to take a commanding lead.
Despite Keon Johnson’s 13 points, Brooklyn struggled and suffered their sixth consecutive loss, with a 1-9 record in the last 10 games. The Nets are 2-16 in their last 18 games. Drew Timme, who recently signed a multiyear contract, contributed 11 points and 10 rebounds for Brooklyn.
Looking ahead, the Clippers will face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday afternoon, while the Nets will play against the Washington Wizards on Saturday night. The Clippers’ solid performance against the Nets has boosted their confidence as they continue their push for a higher playoff seed in the challenging Western Conference.
