The Los Angeles Clippers thrashed the Brooklyn Nets 126-67 to set a new record for their largest margin of victory.
The 59-point win is the 10th largest in NBA history and surpasses the Clippers' previous highest margin of 50 in a 138-88 success against the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2022.
Kawhi Leonard scored a season-high 23 points and James Harden added 21 as the Nets slumped to their heaviest defeat in the NBA.
Their previous biggest defeat was by 52 points, a 139-87 reverse against the Houston Rockets in 1978.
The Clippers led by 64 points during the fourth quarter despite coach Tyronn Lue emptying his bench late in the third.
Leonard, who was playing for just the fourth time this season, shot eight of 11 from the field in 24 minutes.
The Clippers' next game is against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.
