Lakers News: Anthony Davis Looking Forward to Challenge Of Guarding Clippers' Big Three

Your Los Angeles Lakers have won two straight games against the Los Angeles Clippers, so heading into Tuesday's matchup, bragging rights are on the line.

Both teams know what is at stake for the rivalry, and the battle of LA is always a fun one.

The Clippers have been on fire of late, winning 24 of their last 31 games. One of the losses was to the Lakers, and they surely remember it.

For the Lakers to get their third straight win over their inter-city rivals, they will need to start everything on the defensive end of the floor. The Clippers pose a legitimate threat on offense with their big three of James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

Lakers big man Anthony Davis spoke on this, and he is looking forward to the challenge of guarding them all. He said that the Lakers will take some notes from their last game against them, and see if they can duplicate the results, writes Broderick Turner of The Los Angeles Times.

“Obviously, we know they’re a great team, great scorers,” Davis said. “And they just score it well. But pretty good defensively with Kawhi and Paul and Russ [Westbrook] being scrappy and the Zu out. But you know, [Mason] Plumlee and everybody else, Norman [Powell]. So, we do what we did the last game, go back and look at the film, see the ways we can get another win.”

The Clippers are one of the better defensive teams in the league as well. This means that the Lakers will need a strong showing from their offense, which has been hard to come by at times this season.

It won't be easy to take down the Clippers, and the Lakers will need to do whatever they can to slow them down. It will be a challenge for this team, but one they believe they can overcome again.
