According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the L.A. Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers will face off against each other at STAPLES Center on Christmas day.
The NBA normally plays 5 games on Christmas, but with games happening in both Los Angeles and Golden State (reportedly), we can’t safely assume that the Clippers have the nightcap game as they have had in other years. There also has not been an indication as to which team will be the “home” team for this edition of the Clippers-Lakers rivalry. Both teams play in STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, and split their 4 annual match-ups between two games on the Lakers’ court and two on the Clippers’.
