For the first time since 2012, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers are playing in the same arena in the playoffs on the same night. The Clippers lost to the Phoenix Suns earlier in the evening, while the Lakers get to host the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 3 of their NBA Playoffs first-round encounter.
It takes a whole village to be able to transform the court from the Clippers to the Lakers, and a video of his mesmerizing feat has gone completely viral — and understandably so (h/t ClutchPoints on Twitter):
This court transformation is mesmerizing 🤯

That's mind-blowing. That's as epic as a timelapse video can get, and it comes as no surprise that it's already garnered over 500,000 views as of writing — and counting.
It did not turn out well for the Clippers on Saturday, with the Phoenix Suns taking out a shorthanded LA side, 112-100, to establish a seemingly insurmountable 3-1 series lead. The star trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul all showed out tonight, and as much as a commendable effort they put in, Russell Westbrook and the Clippers simply had no answer to Phoenix's Big 3.
The Lakers will want to get the bad juju off the court now as they prepare to face off against the Grizzlies in a pivotal Game 3 matchup. This is the first home game for the Lakers in this series, and with the two teams splitting Games 1 and 2 in Memphis, LA will want to win this to maintain home-court advantage in the series.
