The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers have a storied rivalry, though it’s always been one-sided. The team on the favorable end of the rivalry may have shifted in the past few years as the Clippers have become a power in the Western Conference. However, they’ll meet once more in the Kobe Bryant era on Tuesday night inside STAPLES Center to battle for LA bragging rights.
If you want to talk about being in completely different times for each team in this rivalry, this would be the prime example.
On one hand, you have the Clippers who just got Blake Griffin back from injury and suspension and are now looking to pull it all together for a deep playoff run.
