Detroit Pistons vs Los Angeles Clippers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 28, 2025

Los Angeles topped Detroit 112–99, a 13-point margin that told the story of a game that never quite found rhythm on either end. The combined 211 points landed well under the 224.5 market total, as DAGGER's pregame call to go under cashed decisively.

The Clippers' dominance came through Kawhi Leonard's historic 55-point performance, paired with James Harden's 28 points and 7 assists. Detroit fought back through Cade Cunningham's all-around game (27 points, 9 assists) and Jalen Duren's interior presence (18 points, 14 rebounds), but neither was enough to overcome Leonard's onslaught. The third quarter proved decisive: that frame combined for 59 points—the game's highest-scoring period—and the Clippers' 32 points in that stretch gave them separation they would maintain. Los Angeles's fourth-quarter output dipped to just 20 combined points as both teams wound down, while Detroit salvaged pride with 30 fourth-quarter points.

The under reflected both teams' recent trends converging. The Clippers have averaged 110.9 points for and 110.5 allowed over their last ten games—a defensive identity that showed here. Detroit, arriving as a 121-point scorer in its last ten, couldn't break through that discipline, managing just 99 on a night when individual brilliance from Leonard overwhelmed the visitors' balanced effort.
