Christmas Day 2015 – Lakers Host the Los Angeles Clippers
Two days later the crosstown rivalry renews as the Lakers host the Los Angeles Clippers.
As opposed to the prior match up which will be headlined by Kobe, this will be D’Angelo Russell’s first time playing against Chris Paul, the player every young point guard should aspire to be.
Last season we were lucky enough to witness Jordan Clarkson battle Chris Paul, now it is Russell’s turn to show what he can do against the point guard that should have been. Further, we will get to watch as Julius Randle battles Blake Griffin, a player who possesses a very similar type of game.
