STAPLES Center is officially “home sweet home” for the L.A. Clippers.
Winners of their last four, the Clippers (17-19) will host the Oklahoma City Thunder (21-17) on Thursday, looking to extend their recent winning streak and win their seventh straight on their home floor.
Technically, the Clippers have won eight straight at STAPLES Center, having defeated the Lakers in a “road” game on Dec. 29. Semantics aside, L.A. is one of the hottest teams in the NBA over the past 13 games, going 9-4 in that timespan.
Only the Golden State Warriors ( 11-2 ) and Toronto Raptors ( 10-3 ) have a better record in their last 13 games.
