In a bit of a coincidence, the Los Angeles Lakers end their preseason against the same team they will open up the regular season with, their crosstown rival Los Angeles Clippers.
Both teams look very different from a year ago as the Clippers no longer have mainstays Chris Paul, J.J. Redick, and Jamal Crawford. The Lakers of course, have also made plenty of additions though one of the biggest, rookie point guard Lonzo Ball, will miss his fourth straight preseason game.
The Lakers had a solid showing in their most recent preseason outing, playing the Utah Jazz down to the wire before faltering down the stretch to fall to 1-4.
