The Clippers take care of their hallway rivals 115-104.

Less than two weeks ago, the Clippers waxed the Lakers 133-109 on the Lakers home court. Once again, the older Clippers showed the young, lottery bound Lakers who’s really running L.A, even with the selfies hanging in the background. The Clippers won 115-104 thanks to huge performances by Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. This was the Clippers’ third win a row and they look to gain more momentum with the playoffs right around the corner.

Here are a five takeaways from Saturday afternoon’s matchup.
