After spending a large part of the season giving away games late, the New Jersey Nets are starting to win them with defense, a trend they hope leads to a playoff berth.
Tim Thomas told his Los Angeles Clippers teammates that they were thinking too much during a recent losing streak. Apparently he was right.
Luther Head was never shy about taking clutch shots in college and he's still not afraid to take them in the pros. Head hit a 3-pointer with 12.2 seconds left and Yao Ming deflected a pass and created a game-sealing steal as the Houston Rockets beat the Los Angeles Clippers 109-105 on Wednesday night.
If the San Antonio Spurs were the forgotten team in the Western Conference race earlier this season, there is no overlooking them now. The Spurs won their 13th straight Tuesday night, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 93-84. They haven't lost since Feb. 11.
Richard Hamilton scored 15 of his 23 points in the first quarter and the Detroit Pistons beat the Los Angeles Clippers 98-80 on Sunday while Rasheed Wallace sat out a one-game suspension.
The Golden State Warriors finally have the healthy lineup that coach Don Nelson has believed all along could make a legitimate playoff push. A lot still must go right, yet the Warriors are doing what they can to remain in the race. Having Baron Davis back sure makes a big difference.
The San Antonio Spurs are doing it with defense. For the third consecutive game, the Spurs held their opponents to 74 points, this time in an 88-74 victory Monday night over the Los Angeles Clippers to extend their season-high winning streak to nine games.
The Los Angeles Clippers made a defensive stand against the Indiana Pacers that established a franchise record for fewest points allowed in a game. Even coach Mike Dunleavy made an unexpected defensive stop — against his own son.
Rashard Lewis knew he'd have to step up his play with leading scorer Ray Allen sidelined with an ankle injury. Lewis scored 31 points to help the Seattle SuperSonics beat the Los Angeles Clippers 77-75 on Thursday night.
The Los Angeles Clippers took the court knowing they would play the rest of the season without point guard Shaun Livingston, and that 37-year-old Sam Cassell would be taxed even more from game to game. So the rest of the Clippers pitched in wherever they could.
Another serious injury to star-crossed point guard Shaun Livingston put a damper on what should have been a celebratory mood in the Los Angeles Clippers' dressing room.
Elton Brand rejected the notion — rather forcefully — that the Golden State Warriors were going to beat out the Los Angeles Clippers for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Steve Nash returned and restored order to the Phoenix Suns. Two-time MVP Nash had 13 points and 12 assists in his first game back from a shoulder injury, and Shawn Marion scored 31 points in the Suns' 115-90 rout of the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night.
After learning he was an NBA All-Star for the first time, Joe Johnson played like one. Johnson scored six of his 27 points in the final 19 seconds and the Atlanta Hawks rallied to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 96-93 Wednesday night.
Steve Nash was back in MVP form, and the 3-pointers were falling like a welcome desert rain for Phoenix. That combination spelled a one-sided end to the playoff run of the Los Angeles Clippers and sent the Suns to the Western Conference finals for the second year in a row.
Tracy McGrady has put whatever personal problems he had behind him. And it shows. McGrady, who averaged just 15 points in his last three games, followed up his 36-point performance in the All-Star game with 26 points to help the Houston Rockets to a 106-102 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
The Los Angeles Clippers have signed power forward Vin Baker, the team announced Monday.
The Seattle SuperSonics traded Vladimir Radmanovic to the Los Angeles Clippers for Chris Wilcox on Tuesday in a swap of 6-foot-10 forwards auditioning for next season.
