LeBron James led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 130-125 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, breaking an 11-game losing streak dating back to 2020. James scored 35 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, while Paul George’s late efforts for the Clippers forced overtime. Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell added 27 points each for the Lakers, while Kawhi Leonard contributed 38 for the Clippers.
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors secured a dramatic 102-101 win over the Sacramento Kings, with Klay Thompson hitting the game-winning shot after a late lead change.

Now that the team is playing back-to-back games, choosing when to let a player rest is even more important while managing the rigorous NBA schedule.
