Clippers keep chopping away by winning 9th straight defeating the Pacers: Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan have a double-double

9 games ago the Clippers were 7-5.  It made me wonder what could possibly happen to their season.  In games and in seasons, it's sometimes not how you start that matters but how you finish. The Clippers have caught fire. Last night the Clippers won their 9th straight game by beating the Indiana Pacers 103-96. Jamal Crawford lead the way with 18 points.  Three players had double figures for the Clippers, Chris Paul with 17 points and 15 assists, Blake Griffin with 17 points and 10 rebounds, and DeAndre Jordan with 12 points and 19 rebounds.  Here are the top 5 scorers and statistical categories for each team.

I like the moves the Clippers made during the off-season by adding Spencer Hawes, Ekpe Udoh to add to their front line.  It's possible the Clippers could make it to the NBA Finals, but they have to get past some tough Western Conference Teams ( Memphis Grizzlies, San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, are the ones that come to my mind at this current time.   In honor of the 9 game winning streak I am going to give a list of the last 9 victories by the Clippers and who they defeated.

The Last time the Los Angeles Clippers lost was on November 23rd to a tough Memphis Grizzlies squad.   I enjoy watching the Clippers and lob city, plus they have my favorite NBA Coach in Doc Rivers.  If I were an NBA player he would be the coach I would want to play for.  Thank you for reading Pro Basketball Hoops Land.
