Swipper #5 is a beast!!
Monk is a savage
Nice game from both sides! This is what we are looking for in NBA matches. The 176-175, second highest combined score in NBA history!
Westbrook's game is back..thats scary
2:17 Dude, Fox is so fast.
Paul George's two CONSECUTIVE turnovers with a 9 or 10 point lead in regulation made me absolutely sick.
wow monk shesshhhh
WTF⁉️ 😂🤷🏽♂️
The West Playoffs are gonna be must see this year
Doesn’t Matter who won this is one of the best games ever🤯🤯🔥🔥
How we not get a single highlight into 30 points in the game lmao
Kings won the battle but they definitely won't win the war if they match up in the playoffs clippers winning in 6
If this isn't a season-defining win for a team that's been absent from the playoffs since Peja, I don't know what is. Mike Brown is easily coach of the year, in my opinion.
What a game!
The clippers is going to make some noise in the playoffs the Sacramento Kings also both teams are going to be a problem I might just bet it all on the clippers that trio Russ Paul George and kawhi Leonard is looking good I like what I saw in this game.
clipper gonna clip lol. Great win by the kings!
Feedback: Eric Gordon is a great addition, Russell Westbrook is the same and should retire with some dignity.
Malik Monk is a beast, Lakers are insane for letting him go. Rob Pelinka has a low IQ.
This game has everything except defense lol
Kings pulled this W str8 out the clippers hands. This game should have been over in regulation PG wit senseless lazy passes wit 2 mins to go nd a few other things. Kings r def a young team that's gonna b scary this year nd for some years to come.
this the best thing for the lakers both these team tired themselves out just for the team they can’t catch anyway to win😂
Those turnovers hurt the clippers
I guess they are fine in the west too
Fox and Monk was on the Kentucky team who had beat North Carolina in the regular season to only get cheated by a certain ref in the Elite 8 against North Carolina again to be beaten on a last second shot…Go watch the first half of that game and see if the ref was corrupted…
