Two of the NBA’s biggest rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers and the LA Clippers, are set to face off in a new chapter of their storied history as the Clippers move to their own arena for the first time. Previously sharing the Crypto.com Arena, the Clippers now have their own state-of-the-art Intuit Dome across town in Inglewood. Despite the change in venue, the rivalry remains fierce with both teams fighting for bragging rights in the city. The Lakers currently lead the series 153-86, but the Clippers have shown in recent years that they are no longer content to be the Lakers’ doormat.
While the teams may not be serious contenders for the NBA championship this season, both are expected to secure playoff spots in the competitive Western Conference. With stars like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Norman Powell, and James Harden leading the way, the games between the Lakers and Clippers are still must-watch events. As Lakers guard Austin Reaves put it, anything can happen in a rivalry, and both teams will be prepared to come out on top in their matchups.
