Car is good in the Anaheim area, but the closer you get to LA downtown it gets exponentially worse.

Driving to events like a Dodgers game is not a good idea. I always take the Metro Rail to the Dodgers game. For the Staples Center, seems like the best idea is to drive to Long Beach downtown and park there and then take the Metro Rail Blue Line to the Staples Center. However, that drive to Long Beach can also get backed up pretty bad depending on the time of day. The best thing is to just start early and have dinner near Staples Center (or even in downtown Long Beach) before the event.
