The Clippers maximized the opportunity at hand on their home court generating a perfect three game home stand to muster momentum entering their season-long six game, ten day Eastern swing that begins Tuesday (January 2 at 4pm PT) in Orlando against the 18-14 Magic at Amway Arena in Central Floriday.
L.A.'s three game roll has it 14-16, within a game of the West's number eight overall position. The Clippers have been nearly impossible to score against inside lately, as they've blocked an average of over 11 shots per game in their three game winning streak including a season high 16 swats in Sunday's 90-80 shutdown of New York. During the course of the unbeaten stretch they've limitted their opposition (Boston, Sacramento and the Knicks) to 83ppg on 35% field goal shooting with a rejuvenated defensive effort.
