While the first half of your Los Angeles Lakers’ ongoing matchup with the LA Clippers hasn't been great overall (the Purple and Gold trail 66-52 at the break), Lakers power forward Rui Hachimura put up one of the most impressive highlights of his career, posterizing Clippers guard Terance Mann.

Brutal.

The dunk occurred with 5:44 remaining in the second quarter, with the Lakers trailing 49-40. On the day, Rui has 10 points on 5-of-9 shooting, being one of the few bright spots for the Lake Show.

This first half effort marking one of LA’s worst defensive halves of the season, especially given the Clippers' injury absences.
