They returned home from a six-game trip over 11 days and yet the Clippers still showed an abundance of exuberance. They were playing their last game before the All-Star break and yet the Clippers were dialed in to the task in front of them.
The Clippers were a vibrant group on so many fronts Wednesday night and that helped push them to their 12th consecutive victory over the Phoenix Suns, a 134-107 runaway at Staples Center before 17,703 fans.
With five players scoring in double figures, the Clippers handed the Suns their 15th loss in a row and moved back into the eighth spot in the Western Conference playoff race, one game ahead of Sacramento and one behind San Antonio.
