The LA Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers season opener, heralded as a Western Conference Finals preview ever since rosters were set and the 2019-2020 schedule came out, had all the makings to be a dogged slugfest from start to finish. Through three or so quarters, that’s just what it was. The Lakers took an early lead as the Clippers worked through their opening jitters, then the Clips took their lead, and then it was back and forth for a while. Just what you’d expect from two of the more talent-laden teams in the conference. Of course, the Clippers would eventually take control of the game and finish off strong.
