After dueling on opening night in what ended up being a 10-point win for the Clippers, the NBA’s two Los Angeles franchises will finally get another piece of each other on Christmas Day. The Lakers won 24 of their next 26 games after their loss to the Clippers to start the season, but have now lost three in a row headed into Wednesday’s hotly anticipated matchup. The Clips didn’t have Paul George when these teams first met, and PG has thrived when sharing the court with Kawhi Leonard so far this season. Both teams have improved significantly since night one of the season, and both teams will want this game badly no matter how much anyone tries to downplay its importance.
