Although the Los Angeles Lakers fell short of expectations with their early exit from the playoffs last year, fans of the Purple and Gold took solace in the fact that the L.A. Clippers also came up short with their defeat in the Western Conference Finals.
It was another reminder of the rivalry that exists between the fan bases in L.A. Of course, things were kicked up a notch after both teams managed to secure a superstar duo to get them to the promised land.
While the tandem of LeBron James and Anthony Davis managed to finish the job during an unprecedented 2020 campaign, the Clippers are still trying to find a winning recipe behind Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
