Despite being heavy underdogs against the Clippers, the Lakers came out and dominated to end their Grammy road trip on a very strong note.

Welcome to the Luka Dončić era of Lakers basketball. By just having him on the roster, the Lakers were able to snap their Clippers curse on Tuesday. The last time they had beaten their crosstown rivals when they didn’t have Russell Westbrook on the roster was to kick off play in the bubble.

LeBron James had a terrific performance (26 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds) as he led the Lakers to an impressive 122-97 blowout victory against the Clippers as Luka Doncic watched from the sidelines.

After four games on the road, the Clippers are heading back home. They will welcome the Los Angeles Lakers at 10:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Intuit Dome. The Clippers' defense has only allowed 107.2 points per game this season, so the Lakers' offense will have their work cut out for them.

The Los Angeles Lakers take the floor for the first time since a weekend trade cleared to land superstar Luka Doncic, as they head across town to face the LA Clippers.
