3) Bench is back

The Clippers bench is finally starting to look like themselves again. Although not quite playing at the same level as in the beginning of the season, they are slowly but surely working back to that lethal level they played at before.

The reserves combined for 65 of the 107 points, and each active player scored at last one basket.

Jamal Crawford scored a Clippers-high 22 points, leading the Clippers bench as he usually does. He also moved up a spot on the all-time 3 pointers list. Crawford passed Vince Carter and is now situated in the 5th place spot with 2,009 3 point field goals. Next up is his teammate Paul Pierce who has 2,138 made 3 pointers.
