The Los Angeles Lakers secured a 103-87 victory over the LA Clippers on Wednesday night, earning their second win over their city rivals in less than a week. Despite missing Luka Doncic through back tightness, the Lakers found enough firepower to control the game. Quentin Grimes led the way with 23 points, while Collin Sexton came off the bench to add 21 points. Austin Reaves contributed 16 points as the Lakers improved to 4-1.
The Clippers struggled to find their rhythm, committing 24 turnovers and shooting just 35.1% from the field. Rookie Keaton Wagler led the team with a career-high 21 points, but the Lakers’ dominant second quarter proved decisive. With another win in the books, the Lakers showed they have the depth to compete even without their leading scorer.
