Lakers vs. Clippers is the biggest game of the year for everyone but the people playing in it

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — The Lakers vs. Clippers matchup on Christmas Day is being billed by many (including yours truly) as maybe the biggest game of the year for the purple and gold, and while head coach Frank Vogel agrees, it’s not for the reason that one might think.

“It’s the next game in front of us, which makes it the most important game of the year, which is how we’ve approached every game all season,” Vogel said after the Lakers lost their third game in a row on Sunday night.
