Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers beat LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the marquee game of Christmas Day, 111-106.
The Clippers are now 2-0 against the Lakers this season, having won the season opener back in October. The once red-hot Lakers have now lost four straight games.
This game was really fun one that the Clippers were able to scratch out with some key plays in the final minutes.
But one thing stuck out during the game and it wasn’t the action on the court, but rather a new camera angle ESPN busted out. It made the game feel like you were watching it from a video-game angle, which many fans didn’t like. It wasn’t the exclusive angle they used – the traditional straight on angle was used a lot.
But still, this new angle wasn’t great:

Most fans hated it:
When would I ever want an angle like this? https://t.co/yRqpsgSoN6

Sometimes you gotta fail to succeed and this is one of those times where y’all failed https://t.co/baoCjvWuJe

Just because you have the technology doesn't mean you have to use it. https://t.co/Ri7DjkPY0c

There’s a reason no one plays 2k from this angle https://t.co/FsVBOovTtq

This is like one of those random camera angles on 2K that you never play on but pass by every time you’re trying to switch the camera angle. #NBAXmas #LACvsLAL https://t.co/xwDHYjueUo

Yeah if we could stop fixing things that aren't broken, that'd be great #NBAXmas https://t.co/FLaEZQSD3Y
