Game 81 and two roads diverge. Long were the Clippers, rote for the draft lottery, hoping for the player that would pull the franchise from the muck. The Blazers often had eyes turned upwards toward the sky, hoping for the luck every team needs to conclude a season hoisting a trophy, ending a multi-[...]

Same teams, same results. The Clippers eked out the most important win of their season, 91-87, over the Grizzlies, and took control of the four-seed and home-court advantage. It’s simple: if the Clippers win out, they’re assured no lower than the four-seed and home-court advantage. With [...]

And this was supposed to be the easy game. The Clippers, now winners of four straight, limped to the finish line against the underrated New Orleans Hornets, who made things interesting at the end with a flurry of difficult 3-pointers.

They finally did it. With a 126-101, the Clippers won their 50th game, a franchise record. There was a lot of good stuff tonight: six players in double figures (including the unlikely trio of DeAndre Jordan, Willie Green and Eric Bledsoe), 39 assists (!), six turnovers (!!!), 14 steals, and a monste[...]

The Clippers tried matching the Rockets 3-pointer for 3-pointer, but [...]

Nine games remaining. The Clippers are at the stretch run of their season, and in just a few weeks, we’ll all be enjoying some great playoff basketball. But until then, the Clippers are jockeying with Denver and Memphis for the three-seed and a much easier path to the second round (this year&#[...]
