35.5 wins. That was all Westgate was willing to project for the LA Clippers for the 2018-2019 season.
LeBron James had just signed with the Lakers. Their season win total line was set at 48.5.
With 16 games left in the season, the Clippers have already made their over, and the Lakers, with 18 games left, are mathematically incapable of doing so. And after an electric win over the Lakers, the Clippers now stand as the Best Team In LA.
It honestly hasn’t been close in recent years, with the Clippers beating the Lakers in six straight season series coming into this year.
