Clippers Lakers

  • THE FACTS: Round One of the new-look Los Angeles rivalry went the way of the Clippers, as the citys newest star, point guard Chris Paul, scored a season-high 33 points before leaving late in the game with a strained left hamstring.

  • It was just like the preseason, except this time it counted.

  • On this Saturday night, the city of Los Angeles belonged to the Clippers and not the Lakers. And the brand new guard in L.A., the Clippers Chris Paul, was just as masterful as the five-time champion from the Lakers, Kobe Bryant.

  • 1. The Lakers looked tired during their 102-94 loss Saturday to the Clippers. Chalk it up to a variety of reasons. The Lakers have played a league-high 13 games. The Clippers have played league-low eight games.

  • LOS ANGELES—Chris Paul scored 33 points, Blake Griffin had 22 points and 14 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Clippers led all the way in beating the Lakers 102-94 on Saturday night despite 42 points by Kobe Bryant.
  • (Sporting News)
  • Blake Griffin was asked whether the Clippers, coming off a hard-fought win over the Miami Heat in overtime, planned to make another statement against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers on Saturday night.
  • (Los Angeles Times)
  • 1. Expect an energetic and contentious atmosphere. The Lakers met the Clippers in two preseason games last month and the excitement level over those contests already proved superior to any regular-season contest.

  • Steve Blake has played in 590 games during his NBA career. Darius Morris played in two before Saturday night.

  • Tonight, the Los Angeles Lakers face their cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers, in the seasons first Battle of Los Angeles.
