The years of the Clippers dominating the Lakers ended a couple of seasons ago, and there hasn't been this apparent gap between the two LA teams--in the Lake Show's favor--in some time. Kawhi Leonard did return to active duty for the Clips on Sunday, but his 20 points weren't nearly enough to prevent a 15-point loss, as the Clips seem to have grown old and slow overnight, and James Harden following his 55-point game in Charlotte with 5 for 16 shooting against the Cavs. The Lakers have been a revelation, and LeBron's return was muted after the Lake Show had been playing so well without him. Deandre Ayton likely out tonight, but Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves aren't...that's the best news. Play Lakers.
