The Los Angeles Lakers host the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers are very much in trouble these days, as they’re in 11th place in the Western Conference with a 17-19 record and have lost 10 of their last 13 games. Their latest setback came at the hands of the struggling Memphis Grizzlies, who dominated the fourth quarter of Friday’s contest and won handily, 127-113.
There are now all sorts of reports circulating suggesting head coach Darvin Ham’s job could be in jeopardy unless L.A. starts turning things around. According to one of those reports, this contest versus the Clippers will be “crucial” for him.
When the Clippers traded for future Hall of Fame guard James Harden early this season, they immediately lost five games in a row, and some were ready to declare the trade a mistake. But they now have a five-game winning streak and have won 14 of their last 16. In their last 15 contests, they have been the NBA’s fifth-highest-scoring team with an average of 122.1 points a game.
Over the last 10 seasons, the Clippers have won 29 of 36 head-to-head matchups versus the Purple and Gold.
