The Los Angeles Clippers will still be in must-win mode when they face the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
The same thing cannot be said of the Spurs, who already clinched the second playoff seed in the Western Conference. They're more interested in getting themselves healthy and in the correct rhythm for the postseason.
The Clippers (48-31) are fighting the Utah Jazz for the fourth spot in the West and were a half-game behind Utah entering play on Friday.
Los Angeles and Utah will likely square off in the first round of the playoffs.
