All of Los Angeles starters scored in double figures, which proved to be pivotal as the Clippers beat the Kings for the first time since October 2022.

“It’s not about just me, Paul and James or (Russell Westbrook),” Leonard said. “It’s about the whole collective group. There’s going to be nights when I’m double-teamed or the defense isn’t letting me play. I have to allow myself to let them win the game. We did a good job of getting to our spots, being aggressive.”

De’Aaron Fox had an unbelievable night with 40 points on 14-of-23 shooting, but that was not enough to safe Sacramento.

They trailed by 25 early in the third quarter and never got closer than 13 points after that.
