On the heels of a late night loss in Portland, the Atlanta Hawks will take the floor against another playoff-caliber team from the Western Conference on Monday evening. The Los Angeles Clippers will play host to an intriguing face-off and the match-up will mark the final battle between the two teams this season.
In late November, the Clippers emerged with an 8-point victory over the Hawks at State Farm Arena and, while much has changed, Los Angeles is still playing quality basketball. Doc Rivers’ team certainly cooled off after a lights-out start to the season but the Clippers have won three straight games as the Hawks arrive, including a Saturday afternoon win over the Sacramento Kings.
