The Los Angeles Lakers dominated their crosstown rivals, the LA Clippers, 99-85 in the Las Vegas Summer League, improving to 3-0 in the competition. First-round draft pick Cameron Carr led the way with 23 points, while Chris Manon posted a double-double in the win.
The Lakers controlled the tempo from the opening tip, leaning on aggressive defence and efficient three-point shooting to build a comfortable cushion. Carr set the tone with his scoring, and Manon's all-around contribution on both ends helped Los Angeles never relinquish the lead.
The victory keeps the Lakers perfect through three Summer League outings and offers an early glimpse of the young core expected to shape the franchise's future in the coming season.
