Same plot, different ending. The Warriors defeated the Clippers, 106-99, behind a barrage of Stephen Curry 3-pointers (6 of 8 3PTs), and missed Clippers opportunities (12-22 FTs). Golden State has won the season series, 3-1, and seems to have the Clippers’ number (or just good luck). Just like[...]
It wasn’t pretty — and it vaguely reminded everyone of the Orlando loss — but NBA folk always say the first game back from a road trip is the hardest. Doubly hard if it’s an opponent the Clippers are expected to beat handily. And every team, good or bad, is out there to ̶[...]
The Clippers are a merciful king! That’s how we’ll have to spin a pretty lackluster effort from the Clippers against the injury-ravaged Timberwolves. Perhaps it’s understandable that on the last game of another swept road trip, the Clippers exerted the minimal effort required and n[...]

Losing isn’t fun at all. Saturday, the entire Magic team showed its romantic side. Wherever you will go, baby, Afflalo you. No, 30 points from Aaron Afflalo isn’t fun either, but Last Call is: Buzzer Reaction Orlando Magic 104 Final Recap | Box score 101 L.A. Clippers No Daily Dime tonig[...]
It was much closer than last time when the Clippers thrashed the Mavericks 112-90, but in the end, it was the same result. The Clippers overwhelmed the Mavericks with their talent and half-court pressure defense, and Dallas couldn’t capitalize on their opportunities down the stretch. With the [...]
After being embarrassed by the Warriors twice already this season, the Clippers returned the favor in the game they controlled from start to finish. Don’t let the final score fool you: The Clippers lead by 39 points and could’ve won by that much or more if they had kept their starters in. L.A. kept [...]
