The Los Angeles Clippers went 11-3 in January after winning their final four games in December following the departure of Blake Griffin to injury. They move up another spot to sixth place in ESPN.com's Power Rankings for Week 14.
Here's what Marc Stein had to say:
"The Clippers are up to 15-3 without Blake Griffin ... and it's not all down to a favorable schedule. Chris Paul has naturally led the way, but the Clips' much-maligned bench is averaging 43.9 PPG in the 18 games without Griffin, compared to 31.
