Standout Moments in Los Angeles Clippers History

The Los Angeles Clippers have delivered plenty of memorable moments over the years and here are two of those.

The Inaugural Playoffs Series Triumph - It was on May 1, 2006 that the Los Angeles Clippers made it to the second round of the postseason for the first time since their move to LA. That day at the Staples Center, the Clippers turned it on and trounced the Nuggets 101-83 to clinch the series, 4-1. They came up short against the Suns in the next round, but the 2006 campaign still remains one of the most memorable ones for everyone associated with the Clippers.

Back to Back Division Titles - The Los Angeles Clippers went 40-26 in the 2011-2012 season, a record that was good enough to put them in the second spot in the division standings at the end of the season. The Clippers had been improving steadily by that point, but they were still waiting for a title.

That all changed in the 2012-2013 season. The Clippers went 56-26 to get their hands on their first division championship. If that was not enough, they went on to repeat the trick next season too with a 57-25 record. Those successive division title wins put the Clippers on the map as a team to be respected.

The Los Angeles Clippers’ Rivals

The Los Angeles Clippers two biggest rivals right now are the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors.

The Clippers-Lakers Rivalry- The Clippers and the Lakers had faced each other before but the rivalry really took off when the Clippers set up camp in LA in 1984. The Clippers spent their first few years in the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena which at one point in time was used by the Lakers too. When the Staples Center opened in 1999, both the Clippers and the Lakers moved there.

They first met as cross-town rivals on November 24, 1984 at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. The Lakers won the game 108-103. Since the Clippers move to the city, these two sides have squared-off on 146 occasions. The Lakers lead the head-to-head series, 99-47.

Clippers-Warriors Rivalry- The rivalry between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors is a more recent one. For a long time, these two sides were struggling and no one really gave them too much thought. Then something happened and both the Clippers and the Warriors began to improve at more or less at the same time. In fact, the Clippers looked to be the better of the two teams and then in the 2013-2014 season they met in the First Round of the playoffs. The Clippers came out on top, 4-3, in what was an unforgettable series.

The Warriors however ended up having the last laugh as they won the NBA Championship twice in the next three seasons, while the Clippers have not made it past the Conference Semifinals. This has been a tough pill to swallow for the team from LA.
