Los Angeles Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs

When we think of rivalries, we think of age past and how they came to be. Well this rivalry is one that is new and on the rise. It hasn’t proven to be a rivalry yet.

However, the fashion in which the playoff game ended 2 years ago proves otherwise. If anything this is a rivalry in the post-season for ages to come.

Every time these two teams meet it usually comes down to the last 2 minutes of the game to declare a winner.

This rivalry was ignited May 2, 2015 in the post-season when the Clippers defeated the Spurs in Game 7 on Chris Paul’s game winner over Tim Duncan.

It came down to the last tenths of seconds of the game. From this game on these teams always play great basketball and display a show.

If both teams do well we could see them in the Western Conference Finals.
