Despite a frustrating four-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night, the Clippers still had a week above .500 to maintain their top spot (albeit now tied) in the Western Conference. At 16-7 (after their win against the Pelicans), the Clippers have won nine of their last twelve and are continuing to surprise people despite having the fourth hardest schedule in the NBA according to ESPN metrics.
The Clippers are still relying on an egalitarian approach to winning games this season, as they currently have five players averaging double figures in scoring.
