The Los Angeles Clippers delivered a historic performance, routing the Brooklyn Nets 126-67 to achieve their largest-ever margin of victory.
The 59-point blowout ranks as the 10th largest win in NBA history and shatters the Clippers’ previous record—a 50-point triumph in their 138-88 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2022.
Kawhi Leonard led the charge with a season-high 23 points, while James Harden contributed 21 points, as the Nets endured their worst defeat in franchise history. The Nets’ previous low was a 52-point loss (139-87) to the Houston Rockets back in 1978.
The Clippers dominated from start to finish, holding a staggering 64-point lead in the fourth quarter, even as coach Tyronn Lue rested his starters and gave extended minutes to the bench.
Leonard, appearing in only his fourth game of the season, was highly efficient, shooting 8-of-11 from the field in just 24 minutes of action.
The Clippers, riding high on this historic win, are set to face the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.
