The 59-point win by the Clippers marked the largest in the franchise’s 55-year history, and the largest out of the 597 games played in the NBA this season. It was also the worst loss in the 58-year history of the Nets, a franchise that entered the NBA in 1976 and started in 1967 in the ABA.

So, starting with the Clippers’ 126-67 beatdown of the Nets in the largest margin of victory in franchise history, L.A. was set to play six games over nine days. Kawhi Leonard played 23 minutes and 49 seconds and scored 23 points, both highs for his season. He was eight for 11 from the field in scoring a team-high at the Intuit Dome.

The Los Angeles Clippers thrash the Brooklyn Nets 126-67 to set a new record for their largest margin of victory.
