The week behind
The Clippers haven't passed up many opportunities to beat the Lakers recently. With a 105-100 win over their Staples Center co-tenants last Tuesday, the Clippers extended its winning streak to a franchise record seven games against the Lakers. Saturday's win over Memphis was huge as it relates to playoff seeding and even saw a climb in the standings.
