The rivalry between the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors has been going for some time now. Dating back to the Clippers’ victory over the latter in the first round of the 2013-14 playoffs, their contests have always been closely fought with a higher level of effort and physicality. As for their rivalry off the court, well, it’s mainly consisted of rather petty shots at each other through media interviews.
During this summer, shots went back and forth between the two teams. From people thinking Doc Rivers said the Warriors were lucky to win their championship to Golden State’s players firing back about the Clippers’ collapse against the Houston Rockets, it’s clear that the teams don’t like each other.
