The Los Angeles Clippers ( 17 - 13 ) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers ( 5 - 25 ) 94 - 84 on Friday night in a Christmas Day showdown . This game seemed well out of hand to start the fourth quarter , but the Lakers made a late run to give fans some hope . They still fell short , but they cut a 28 - point lead to eight points with about three minutes left . The look on Doc Rivers face would not indicate a double - digit win and he feels lucky to escape with a win . The Lakers actually outscored the Clippers 27 - 9 in the final 12 minutes , and they would have won if they did n't get down by so much through the first three quarters . The Clippers played fantastic for the first three quarters , but let down in a big way to let the Lakers backups back in the game . The win is n't going to look good in filmroom tomorrow , but a win is a win and they needed it . Chris Paul was back to his old form , as he tallied 23 points , five rebounds , and six assists in the win . Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan also did a good job of controlling the post , as they totaled 22 points , 26 rebounds and eight assists . The bench were the ones who struggled , as they allowed the Lakers to climb back into the game . The Clippers will travel to Salt Lake City on Saturday to take on the Utah Jazz in their next game . No Lakers starter scored more than 12 points and they really would n't have been in this game if it were n't for their bench . Julius Randle and D'Angelo Russell combined for 27 points , 15 rebounds and five steals to nearly bring the Lakers back from a 28 - point deficit . Kobe Bryant hit three three - pointers in this game and set a record for the most three 's made by anyone on Christmas . This was n't a pretty performance by the Lakers , but it 's a promising sign to see their youngsters bring them back and show some resiliency . They 'll look to build on this when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday .
