The Los Angeles Lakers play the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday for the last time this season. Tipoff is at 10:30 p.m. ET and be live streamed below.
The Clippers (52-26) have gotten hot down the stretch, winning 10 of their last 11 games, including three straight. The team's third win came two days ago against the Lakers in a 106-78 blowout, which saw Clippers star Blake Griffin lead with 18 points, center DeAndre Jordan add 16 points and 11 rebounds and guard Chris Paul chip in with seven points and 15 assists.
"It's a little different now than it was two, three or four years ago," Griffin said of the Clippers' rivalry with the Lakers, according to ESPN. "It's always good to get three (wins) against a division opponent."
Sweeping the lottery-bound Lakers isn't a huge accomplishment these days, but Clippers coach Doc Rivers admitted the wins matter to his team.
"I don't know what it is, but it's just like playing your high school (rival)," Rivers said. "It's a rivalry, you know. It is, but it's not. But you know each other. Whenever you know each other, you know the game has meaning."
The Lakers are near the bottom of the West standings with a 20-56 record. The team is on a three-game losing streak, with its loss to the Clippers on Sunday marking a franchise-worst 56th lost.
"Obviously, losing doesn't sit well with me, period," said Lakers coach Byron Scott. "So I'm not thinking about the record and all that stuff. It's just the fact the losing part doesn't sit well with me.
