LA Clippers vs. New Orleans Pelicans

The day after Thanksgiving has the emptiest freeways of the entire year and almost nobody takes advantage of them. Half the city is out of town, the other half is at home working through leftovers, and the roads that are normally the single worst argument against going anywhere in Los Angeles are simply clear. A half past six tip on that particular Friday is a gift. The building is full of people who have had three days of family and would like to look at something else now, which produces an unusually warm and slightly punch-drunk crowd. New Orleans are the visitor, which keeps the stakes low and the pace high. Use the one day a year when getting to Inglewood is easy, and bring whoever is still staying in your house. Check the tip time before you set off - a half past six start on a Friday catches out everybody who has driven to a hundred seven-thirty games at this building.
