The Clippers do not believe there is a rivalry developing between them and the Lakers.

"Honestly, I don't think it is one," said DeAndre Jordan. "But I'm not worried about any other team. I don't care about them. I respect them as a team and as players. One we step in between that line, I could care less about any accomplishments they have."

The Clippers have the chance to win the season series against the Lakers for the first time since the 92-93 season.

"It's another big game for us," said Chris Paul. "We've got some momentum going. It's one of those games we want to win."
