Coming into this season, there was not a more anticipated matchup than that of the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers. The Battle for Los Angeles.
This season, the Lakers have not been able to defeat the Clippers. In their two meetings thus far, the Clippers have looked like the superior team. The Lakers have struggled offensively against their Los Angeles counterparts. Kawhi Leonard has looked like the best player on the floor on either team. Sunday, though, this has to change.
The Lakers need to know that they can beat the Clippers, before meeting them in the playoffs.
