I was in Los Angeles doing work for a week during May 2012.  It was memorable in that weekend was being referred to as one of the biggest sports weekends in the history of LA.    The Clips and Lakers were in the second round.  The Kings were in the Western Conference Finals.   Apparently there was a huge Cycling race and a significant MLS game as well IIRC.   Also the Dodgers were in town.

I decided to go to a Dodger game on Friday evening and one basketball game.  I chose the Clips based on price.  For a second round Clipper playoff game I got a fairly good seat for $90 given that it was a playoff game and it was a section with private lounges in behind.   I had paid over $200 to go to a Raptors playoff game in 2007 for a seat that was no better.  A ticket in the same section for the Lakers game the night before was well over $300.   Goes to show how different the markets and the allure are for those teams.

The Clippers actually had a 24 point lead in that one.  The Spurs then proceeded to go on a 53-17 run and took a 3-0 series lead.
