the clippers in 2013–14 hired former clippers player doc rivers as their new coach. he previously coached the boston celtics, whom the "los angeles times" called "the lakers' true rivals", where he won one nba finals and lost another in the celtics–lakers rivalry. rivers said that los angeles "always will be" a lakers town, but he also predicted that people that moved from the east coast to l.a. would root for the clippers if they won an nba title. on january 10, 2014, the clippers avenged a 13-point season opener loss to the lakers with a 123–87 blowout in their next meeting. at the time, the 36-point margin was the clippers' largest ever against the lakers, who were near the bottom of the conference standing and losers for the tenth time in 11 games, a bad stretch they had not duplicated since they last missed the playoffs in 2004–05. on march 6, the clippers defeated the lakers 142–94; the 48-point margin was the largest victory ever by the clippers against any opponent, as well as the most one-sided defeat in lakers history. while the clippers went on to win the pacific division title and qualify for the playoffs, the lakers finished with one of the worst records in the western conference, with a record of 27-55, a stark contrast from previous years, and starting an era of futility for the lakers. in the playoffs, the clippers defeated the golden state warriors in seven games in the first round, but would lose to the oklahoma city thunder in six games in the semifinals.
