Lakers vs. Clippers: Chris Paul leaves no doubt who owns L.A.

We need to get CP3 Jr. and Dwyane Wade’s kid together as the NBA’s Statler and Waldorf.

The Clippers matched a franchise-high 11 consecutive victories at home with the win.

Bryant was brilliant for the Lakers, and was the driving force behind the comeback. After being down by as many as 18 in the second quarter, he willed the purple and gold back into the contest and finished with 38 points, five steals and three assists.

Kobe Bryant is 34 years old. He never seems to age. Neither does his game. Love him or hate him, he’s always fun to watch.

But his team still trails by 13 early in the second quarter.

World Peace started the first 25 games of the season for Los Angeles but head coach Mike D’Antoni moved him to the second unit in attempt to shake things up. World Peace averaged 14.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists coming off the pine after averaging 13.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in his time as a starter.

The real reason for World Peace’s promotion seems to be Morris’ offensive ineptitude. Morris has averaged a meager 3.4 points in his last five starts and had more personal fouls (4) than points (3) in the Lakers most recent loss to Philadelphia.

The Clippers have lost back-to-back games after winning the previous 17 in a row. At 25-8, the Clippers are 2.5 games ahead of the Warriors for first place in the Pacific Division. The Lakers are 15-16 this season which places them nine games behind the Clippers for the division lead.

Crawford had 21 points and was 9-of-9 from the free throw line in the Clippers’ 105-95 win over the Lakers on Nov. 2.
