The Lakers struggled mightily in their season-opening loss to the Clippers, but can even the score with the Los Angeles rivals on Christmas Day.

Paul George does not know what kind of reception he’ll get when the Clippers play in Oklahoma City, but he’s prepared for anything.

Kawhi Leonard was in San Antonio on Saturday night, which meant he was heartily booed. But he answered those with stellar play in a big Clippers win.

The Clippers-Rockets rivalry has been brewing for some time and now has blossomed into NBA’s next best thing.

Paul George’s mom has faced many challenges since a stroke 23 years ago. So George and his parents now look to help other families affected by stroke.

The Los Angeles Lakers have the best record in the NBA, and there’s no signs of letting up from LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Brandon Ingram and the Pelicans say the trade last year with the Lakers for Anthony Davis worked out for everybody.

Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis expects boos in his first visit since his trade request, but Jrue Holiday notes, ‘He’s done a lot for this city.’

Paul George put on a show in his Clippers home debut with 37 points in just 20 minutes, and he did it without Kawhi Leonard, who rested a sore knee.
