LOS ANGELES — After leading for most of the second quarter, the Lakers relinquished their advantage to the Clippers on Friday night when Kawhi Leonard’s 3-point attempt in transition bounced off the front of the rim and hit the backboard before falling into the basket to give the Clippers a 72-69 lead in the third.

The Lakers’ 106-102 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday was the sixth-consecutive game they’ve held an opponent to 102 points or fewer. After the game, Luka Doncic spoke about why the Lakers’ defense has been stifling as of late.

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic may have been the main attraction on the court, but it was his mother, Mirjam Poterbin, who stole the spotlight on social media. A photo of Poterbin, originally posted on her Instagram, went viral after Lakers Daily shared it on X, drawing countless reactions from fans.

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Los Angeles Clippers 106-102 for their fifth consecutive victory. Luka Doncic scored 31 points on his 26th birthday and LeBron James had 28 points and 13 rebounds.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been mocked to grab this sharpshooter now that they have Luka Doncic on the roster.
