LA Clippers defeat NY Knicks 140-135 (OT). You read correctly. The Clippers swept the Knicks this season. In both games Al Harrington saved the Clips by getting a technical foul at the end of regulation. In the last game he slapped the backboard after a slam dunk giving the Knicks a three point lead. This time he hung on the rim after a slam dunk giving the Knicks a three point lead. Eerie huh? However this time Mike Taylor scored a career high 35 points for the Clips while the Clippers emerged from an offensive funk.

LA Lakers defeat LA Clippers 108-97. Andrew Bynum had a career game against the Clippers scoring 42 points with 15 rebounds. 42 points! That's the most points in a game that any Laker has scored this season. But let's not forget about Kobe Bryant who had a triple-double with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. It seemed like his gnarled shooting hand gave him few problems. The Clippers though showed moxie led by Deandre Jordan's 23 points. If he can keep it up the Clippers will be fantastic over the long haul.

Sacramento Kings defeat LA Lakers 113-101. Since their lack of defense was pointed out last season, it would be nice if the Lakers could show some defensive fervor. While they were strong in the first several games, it has all seemed to fall apart. And that was evident in this game. The obvious number is the 113 the Kings scored. This is a Kings team that have lost eight straight games. While the Lakers had their moments, the Kings just carved up the Lakers interior defense.

New Orleans Hornets defeat LA Clippers 99-87. Clippers rookie sensation Eric Gordon proved that his one year at Indiana wasn't a fluke. He led the Clippers with 25 points while not Anthony Morrow-esque is still nothing to sneeze at. While three other starters scored double digits, it was still too little to combat the Hornets. Chris Paul had his sixth career triple-double with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 17 assists. David West made up for Paul's relative lack of scoring leading all scorers with 27 points.

                     

The Los Angeles Kings new alternate jersey was revealed on Saturday night as the Kings faced the Colorado Avalanche at Staples Center. The team will wear the jerseys for limited number of home games this season. The new look is silver and black with a simple bold logo that harks back to the old Gretzky heyday from the 80's. One good thing about the striking new logo is that, with the prominent "LA" featured, nobody will be asking how things are in Sacramento when you wear it.

              

Los Angeles Kings fans were a bit apprehensive about seeing their team face superstar Alex Ovechkin and his red-hot Washington Capitals on Thursday night. On one hand, it was a rare chance to see the Capitals, who haven't visited L.A. since Dec. 14, 2005. On the other, the Kings were on a two-game slide and the Caps were riding a streak of six wins in seven games, including a thrashing of the Ducks on the previous evening.

                     

Los Angeles Kings fans ventured into the desert to celebrate the annual pre-season ritual known as Frozen Fury where their beloved Kings faced off against the Colorado Avalanche at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday night.
