Ka Jiaowei scored 97 points and still lost: George scored 20 points in the final quarter to tie 3 free throws, and it was useless to continue to hit three points in a row
When the Clippers have won all of their meetings with the Lakers in the past three seasons and have won 11 straight games to become a nemesis, can they continue to destroy the Lakers? Despite being the second game of a back-to-back, the Clippers still led the Lakers by 19 points at most moments, but were overtaken by the Lakers by up to 9 points in the second half. George exploded into 20 points in the fourth quarter, especially scoring the Clippers' key 8 points in the final moments, including three free throws to drag into overtime. George was fouled by James for his sixth foul after only 30 seconds of overtime, and finally regretted losing to the Lakers to end an 11-game winning streak. The Clippers Kajiaowei Big Three performed well, Xiaoka scored 38 points with 5 three-pointers, George scored 6 three-pointers, 35 points and 6 fouls, and Wei Shao had 24 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals.
The Clippers have been the absolute nemesis of the Lakers in the past five seasons, with a 13-2 record against the Lakers and an 11-game winning streak against the Lakers, the last time the Clippers lost to the Lakers was back on December 14, 2020, when the Clippers lost 106-131 to the Lakers.

It's just that the Clippers were suppressed by the Lakers in the second half, especially after James went off the court, the Lakers instead played a wave of offensive attacks to overtake the score. The Clippers lost by 15 points in the third quarter 24-39, were overled by 2 points in the first three quarters, and the Clippers once trailed the Lakers by as many as 9 points 104-113 with 2 minutes and 18 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
In the decisive stage, Powell caused James to interfere with the ball, Wei Shao hit a three-point shot, and the Lakers hit two free throws in a row. George singled out the thick eyebrows and missed the free throw, and then George hit a three-pointer to chase only one point to continue his life, and Russell was fouled and hit both free throws. George drew a three-point foul on Reddish with 15.1 seconds left, and the Lakers failed to challenge, and George hit all three key free throws to tie the game at 117-117. George scored 20 unstoppable points in the final quarter, and scored eight consecutive key points in the final minute of the fourth quarter to drag it into overtime, after all, Russell failed to hit a three-point shot at the buzzer.
The two sides entered a fierce battle in overtime, Xiaoka took the lead in scoring with a shot, James had 4 minutes and 30 seconds left to cause George's 6th foul, Tyronn Lue failed to apply for a challenge, and George also had no choice but to leave the court early with 6 fouls. The Lakers then scored a wave of 7-0 offense to overtake the score, the Clippers missed iron one after another, Xiaoka bit the score 2+1, and Wei Shao and Zubac were capped one after another. Reeves scored to extend his four-point advantage, and the small card hit another three-pointer to chase down the deficit by one point, and Powell was also caused to leave the game with his sixth foul.
When George and Xiaoka teamed up to score 30+ points, Wei Shao also had at least 20+10+6 quasi-triple-double data, and the three giants of Kajiaowei had played enough performances. The Clippers are still losing to the Lakers in overtime, and they undoubtedly need Harden to get on the court as soon as possible, and Harden is expected to make his debut against the Knicks as soon as November 7.
