The Los Angeles Clippers dominated the Brooklyn Nets with a 126-67 victory, setting a new franchise record for the largest margin of victory. The 59-point win is the 10th largest in NBA history, surpassing the Clippers' previous record of a 50-point margin against the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2022.
Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with a season-high 23 points, while James Harden contributed 21. The Nets suffered their worst loss in NBA history, surpassing their previous biggest defeat of 52 points, a 139-87 loss to the Houston Rockets in 1978.
Despite Coach Tyronn Lue emptying his bench late in the third quarter, the Clippers extended their lead to 64 points in the fourth.
Leonard, playing just his fourth game of the season, shot 8 of 11 from the field in 24 minutes. The Clippers will look to build on their dominant performance when they face the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.
