Team Continues to Play Hard:
Even though the Clippers have lost their last two games (both in rather dismal fashion), they have, for the most part, continued to play at the intense level that won them so many games in December and early January. The Timberwolves game was just a nightmare for many reasons, but the Clippers certainly put a lot of effort into winning that game—it was the execution that went awry. The good news is that playing hard is enough to win a decent amount of NBA games even without too much talent.
