Clippers: Coach Tyronn Lue went home before the game because of back pain and was replaced by assistant Brian Shaw.

Key moment The Clippers outscored the Kings 14-13 in overtime. They got back-to-back baskets by Derrick Jones Jr., including a go-ahead 3-pointer after DeRozan tied the score at 104.

Key stat LaVine had been shooting 62% from 3-point range in his previous six games. He missed all of his six attempts in regulation before hitting a 3 in overtime. As a team the Kings were 9 of 34. The Clippers weren't much better, going 10 of 31.
