Im downtown l.a. going to honda center does anyone whats the best time to go and not hit major traffic?

Another option is taking the train. There is a transportation hub right across the street from the Honda Center. I believe you can depart from Union Station and it will drop you off at the ARTIC, and then it's a very short walk to the Honda Center.

Either before 230 or after 7 PM. I do the drive myself several times a week to work ( which is the Honda center)

Go see a movie first in the Honda Center Event Venue Area first, being near HCEV by 5pm. There's a Really Good Cinema just a mile up the road, on Katella Ave. And then Enjoy the Event @ the HCEV😎

Thank you for the input.
