4) What’s next?

The Clippers have 3 days off before their next game versus the Mavericks. With only four games left in the season, the team looks to go undefeated which will hopefully allow them to steal the 4th seed. With Austin Rivers reportedly out for the rest of the regular season, everyone will have to contribute a little bit more in his absence.

Also, that bad loss to Sacramento may have been a blessing in disguise. They got a bad loss out of their system that could’ve come in one of their final games of the season or even in the playoffs. Provided that they learn from their mistakes, the Clippers will do everything to prevent something like that from ever happening again.

Clips last 4 are vs Mavs, @ Spurs, vs Rockets and vs Kings. No B2B's and have 3 days off right now. Can they go 4-0?
