LOS ANGELES (AP) Chris Paul scored 25 points and the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Lakers 103-81 on Tuesday night, beating their Staples Center co-tenants for the 10th straight time in Kobe Bryant's last game as a visitor in his home arena.

Jeff Green added 21 points off the bench for the Clippers, whose franchise-record victory streak over the Lakers is their second-longest active run against any opponent.

Bryant scored six points on 2-of-12 shooting following a 34-point performance in a loss to Boston on Sunday. The crowd, including plenty of Lakers fans, made Bryant feel at home, cheering his introduction and when he re-entered the game in the second quarter.

The Clippers paid tribute to the superstar guard, who retires next Wednesday, with a video shown just before he was introduced.
