The Clippers sit in third place in the Western Conference at 16-8, and a large part of their success has been their dominance on their home floor.
After losing the season opener, LA has won nine consecutive home games. The team has handily taken care of games against overmatched opponents, including Oklahoma City without Westbrook, Washington, and Phoenix, and has outlasted tougher teams like Houston, Minnesota, and San Antonio. The Clippers have also had their fair share of drama in three overtime wins against Memphis, Golden State and Milwaukee.
The team’s excellence at home is reflected in its net rating, as LA outscores its opponents by 8.
