LOS ANGELES — The sign on the outside of the building insisted this was Staples Center, epicenter of the NBA universe in 2020, where the Knicks are spending this corner of January playing the Clippers and the Lakers within three days, having themselves a look at some of the best the Western Conference has to offer.
The sign lied. At least on Sunday it did.
This was actually the Downtown LA YMCA, and the start time was perfect, too: 12:30 p.m. Up and down the Clippers and the Knicks went, back and forth, like a gaggle of stock analysts and lawyers and insurance agents filling it up on their lunch hour.
