It seems like just this month the Lakers beat the Warriors by 20 at STAPLES in those beautiful purple and gold showtime jerseys. Oh wait, that was this month.
November 4th marked the second time this year the Lake Show beat the Warriors by double digits. The first time was the historic March 6th game, where the then 13-win Lakers bested the 55-6 Warriors.
However, the teams will be meeting on much different circumstances tonight. Head coach Luke Walton has decided to give a couple of key players the night off to avoid embarrassing his former team.
