Go Metro to Lakers-Clippers on Sunday as both teams join wildfire relief efforts

Go Metro as the Los Angeles Clippers host their cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers, for the first time at the Intuit Dome on Sunday at 6 p.m. 

In one sense, it’s a long-standing rivalry game. In other sense, it’s far from it — as both teams have joined 10 other local pro sports franchises to raise $8 million for wildfire relief efforts. A distribution event to help fire victims was held at three stadiums on Friday and both the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum will be home to FireAid benefit concerts on Jan. 30.

With the Lakers and Clippers close in the standings, there should also be some good basketball Monday at the Clippers new home in Inglewood. At Metro, we’re happy we can help get you there to avoid traffic hassles.

In fact…Go Metro for all Los Angeles Clippers home games by connecting to a free bus shuttle at: 

• Hawthorne/Lennox Station (C Line) or
