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.

They began a slew of games on Wednesday night in which the Clippers’ fortitude was expected to be tested.They are in this situation because of the devastating wildfires that rampaged across the Los Angeles area that caused the postponement of a Clippers game and forced the NBA to reschedule other games.

Kawhi Leonard scored 23 points, James Harden added 21 and the Los Angeles Clippers had the largest margin of victory in franchise history, routing the Brooklyn Nets 126-67 on Wednesday night.
