This season the LA Clippers have very much moved out of the shadow of their illustrious city rivals the Lakers.

Led by the wily Chris Paul and explosive Blake Griffin the Clippers look a certainty to make it into another post season, with the remainder of the season only serving to determine just how high in the rankings they can go.

People staying in Los Angeles hotels around March 13th will be able to see them take on a fellow Western Conference contender- the Memphis Grizzlies, which will mean that Griffin will be pitted against fellow All-Star forward Zach Randolph.

Some tickets for the occasion are still on sale, but they are selling quick.

The Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles is situated just one mile away from the venue so it could be the perfect place to stay before and after the crucial NBA encounter.
