The history of the Los Angeles Clippers franchise is fraught with some of the most unfortunate events in NBA history.
On Sunday the team added a new chapter to that dubious list with the largest halftime deficit of the shot-clock era, which began in 1954: 50 points.
The Dallas Mavericks completely overpowered the Clippers 77-27 in the first half. The Mavs went on to win 124-73.

Mavs 77, Clippers 27 at the half. Per @ESPNStatsInfo, that s the biggest halftime deficit in an NBA game during the shot-clock era, which started in 1954-55.

No Anthony Davis? No problem.
At least that was the case Sunday night in Los Angeles, as Kyle Kuzma slid into the lineup and led the team in points and minutes played in a 127-91 victory over the previously unbeaten Minnesota Timberwolves.
Kuzma s performance came as AD sat out with a calf contusion, and both topics were at the forefront of Lakers buzz following the impressive, dominant win.
Add to it the presence of point guard Dennis Schroder, whose contract is the subject of conversation, and LA is thinking repeat early in this 2020-21 season.
While that remains to be seen, find out what league insiders have to say about the defending champs in the latest Lakers news.

The reported price, according to
Variety s James McClain, is a cool $8.4 million.
It s $1.1 million less than George was seeking but still helps the forward turn a profit after purchasing the 1.35-acre mansion for $7.4 million back in 2016.
The Ashley Ridge area of Hidden Hills, where the house is located, is packed with celebrities including Kris Jenner, Khloe Kardashian and Jeffree Star while Los Angeles Dodgers icon Vin Scully owns the property next door to Montana s new home, per McClain.
George and his partner, Daniela Rajic, moved to the Pacific Palisades in 2019 after landing a 10,000-square-foot abode previously owned by DeAndre Jordan for $16.1 million.

A quiet shift occurred in the NFL without many noticing. Everyone knows football at the highest level is a pass-first league. However, some of the team s most consistent winners this fall run the ball well and are built to control games.
The Los Angeles Rams 24-3 effort over the New England Patriots on Thursday is a prime example of how a team can evolve, starting with its head coach.
Two seasons ago, nearly every franchise wanted to emulate the Rams success.
McVay was the wunderkind coach who opened doors for every other young and promising offensive mind that showed a modicum of competency. The Rams made it all the way to Super Bowl LIII, where they met the Patriots, who won by being the more physical team.

Father Time remains undefeated. When it comes to professional sports, athletes can only stay at the pinnacle of their powers for so long. Some players are able to stiff-arm the clock for two, three or even 10 years longer than most, but it eventually comes for everyone.
Sometimes the decline is swift like Peyton Manning s shocking regression in his final year. Sometimes, a player drifts slowly downward, like Manning s brother Eli. Regardless of what it looks like, the decline is going to come.
For some NFL stars, the decline has arrived in 2020, whether it s in the form of a nosedive or not. Those are the players we ll examine here. We ll specifically focus on longtime starters or players with Pro Bowl accolades on their resumes who are becoming NFL afterthoughts because of dwindling production, injuries or a combination of both.
