• Hernández: Despite Game 2 loss, Clippers clearly need Kawhi Leonard

    Their offense looked disjointed. Doesn’t matter. The Clippers had to play Kawhi Leonard. Their first-round playoff series is now level at one game apiece, as the Dallas Mavericks stole a 96-93 victory at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday night. Doesn’t matter. The Clippers had to play Kawhi Leonard. Because the Clippers aren’t looking to just win this series. They’re looking to win a championship, and they’re not doing that without their best player, who hadn’t played in more than three weeks because...

  • For Kings (and Lakers and Clippers), home is where the playoff action is

    For those who feel the Kings-Oilers playoff series is a lot of deja vu all over again, Quinton Byfield says you’ve got it all wrong. For the third year in a row the two teams split the first two games of their first-round NHL playoff series, with the Kings evening things Wednesday on Anze Kopitar’s goal 2:07 into overtime of Game 2. So for the third year in a row, the teams will reconvene in Los Angeles on Friday tied at a game apiece. The last two times that happened, Edmonton went on to win...

  • Clippers prepare for playoffs by resting starters in loss to Rockets

    Kawhi Leonard sat on the Clippers bench Sunday once again dressed in a sweatsuit, right next to Paul George, who was next to James Harden, the team’s three stars not playing in the final regular-season game before the team begins the playoffs. The big mystery surrounds Leonard and his status for the Clippers’ first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks that will start Sunday at Crypto.com Arena. He didn’t play against the Houston Rockets at home Sunday because of right knee inflammation. He...

  • Kawhi Leonard, Clippers struggle again in Game 3 loss to the Mavericks

    In a game that became testy in the fourth quarter, the health of Kawhi Leonard was paramount for the Clippers. Leonard was listed as questionable with right knee inflammation for Game 3, and though he started Friday night, he rarely looked sharp during the Clippers’ 101-90 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center. Leonard, who was in and out of the game, departed for the final time with 4:09 left and the Clippers down by 15 points. He played 25 minutes and produced nine points,...

  • Clippers need a better version of Kawhi Leonard to win Game 3

    His answer was short and straight to the point. The Clippers lost Game 2 to the Dallas Mavericks Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena and in the process lost the home-court advantage in the Western Conference best-of-seven playoff series that’s now tied at 1-1. Clippers coach Ty Lue was emphatic about what his team needs to do Friday night in Dallas. “Win Game 3,” Lue said late Tuesday night after his crew’s three-point loss. For that to happen, the Clippers will need a better version of the Kawhi...

  • Kings look uninspired in blowout loss to Edmonton Oilers in Game 1

    When the Edmonton Oilers abandoned the Northlands Coliseum for their handsome new downtown home eight years ago, the collection of office towers, hotels and restaurants that sprang up around Rogers Place became known collectively as the Ice District. For the Kings, the name alone has had a chilling effect because Rogers Place is where the team’s last two playoff campaigns started — and both were put on ice in first-round losses to the Oilers. The Kings were back in Edmonton for the third...
