NBA Rivalry Week hasn’t disappointed as there have been several great games, but there’s nothing like a matchup between two storied franchises in the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers.
The Celtics and Lakers are the two winningest franchises in NBA history and although their rivalry has been quelled to a certain degree in recent years there is still no love lost between the two teams. Boston is the reigning NBA champion and thus have an edge in the trophy count, but Los Angeles is arguably just a couple of moves away from being a serious threat in the playoffs.
