The battle of LA is set to take place tomorrow as the Lakers face the Clippers for their first encounter this season. Both teams share similar records with the Lakers having 12 wins and 11 defeats, while the Clippers are 11-11.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel talked about how different this game is compared to other games. “There’s always a little more excitement involved,” he said. “I can’t remember if we had fans for last year’s head-to-head matchups or not. Regular season we didn’t have full capacity at all, right?

“That’ll be fun. That’s a fun environment to be a part of. I think it’s every season is different. Obviously, the first year I was here and AD was here and Kawhi’s first year, I think that’s probably where it was at its peak. There’s two great teams that our city is going to enjoy rooting for or rooting against. So it should be a fun environment.”
