After fourth quarter comebacks in their previous two outings, the LA Clippers look to put a full game together to extend their win streak against the Wizards.
After coming back to win in the fourth quarter against both the Brooklyn Nets and Atlanta Hawks, the LA Clippers seek to put a full game together as the head to D.C. to play the Wizards. A win tonight would extend the Clips’ current streak to six straight victories.
The team did not look like their normal selves in Atlanta as the game was in question up until the last few minutes. Thankfully some great bench play from the team helped them get to their fifth straight victory. The second night of a back-to-back is never easy, but playing this struggling Wizards team might just be what the Clips need to get back to looking like themselves.
This will be the second and final meeting for the two teams this season. The first, which happened on October 28, was a blowout victory for LA. In the blowout, the Clippers set a franchise record with nine players scoring in double digits. To say the victory was a team effort is an understatement.
The Wizards are in the midst of a drama filled season which came to a head yesterday when Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that the team is now open to trading every player on their roster. Several stories of arguing, fighting with management and each other all popped up afterwards, so there is no certainty for what the Wizards’ mindset will be in tonight’s game.
With all that being said, let’s take a look at three things to watch for when the Clippers tip-off in the nation’s capital.
