The rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers will probably continue forever.
There will always be a back-and-forth between fans of both teams, each claiming that their squad is superior, no matter what track records show.
But for this year, it is clear that the Lakers came out on top.
LakeShowYo on Twitter summed things up perfectly, saying, “Clippers fans were making fun of us when Lakers started 2-10 and now they’re heading to Cabo.”

When the season began, conventional wisdom said that the Clippers would have a lot more success.
Kawhi Leonard was back and healthy, as was Paul George, and the team also had John Wall to assist them.
Meanwhile, the Lakers were still trying to figure themselves out with a new coach and the baggage brought by Russell Westbrook.
Things got off to a tough start for the purple and gold and they held a dismal 2-10 record a few weeks into the season.
It wasn’t just Clippers fans that made fun of the Lakers but they definitely felt more glee than others.
Now, the Clippers are out of the playoffs and the Lakers are on the verge of pushing past the Memphis Grizzlies and into the second round.
Months later, the Lakers are on the rise and the Clippers are sliding downward.
This is a testament to both the awful luck of the Clippers and the hard work of the Lakers’ front office.
A lot has changed in a few months.
But a lot more can change in the months ahead.
No matter what the summer brings, this rivalry is sure to fire back up when the new season begins.
