Lakers and Clippers bring the drip before Battle of LA showdown

The Lakers and Clippers brought the heat before the opening tip — and not just on the court.

As the two Los Angeles rivals arrived for their latest Battle of LA showdown, the stars turned the pregame scene into a fashion show, serving up bold fits, designer looks and plenty of tunnel style. From statement-making ensembles to understated luxury, both teams made sure they were dressed to impress before the cross-town clash got underway.

The rivalry may be settled with buckets, but the Lakers and Clippers were already competing in the fashion department before the game even began.
