Los Angeles Clippers (44-20) I've been waiting all season for the Clippers to arrive, and they were finally on their way when the Lakers stopped them in their tracks. They had handled six straight, including five playoff-bound opponents, entering Sunday's nationally televised tilt with LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Co. So, how much should we read into a 112-103 loss? The Clippers came into the game 2-0 against their rivals, although the two presumptive title favorites had not faced each other since Christmas (and opening night before that).
