The Clippers’ win streak came to an end Sunday, but the past week was still an overall success for the team. They showed an ability to dominate against a lesser opponent, flashed their Cardiac Clippers mojo, and were even resilient on a back-to-back against a solid Bulls crew.

Now, it seems like the Clippers are closer to their Western Conference Finals form, when a shorthanded group still competed, even if that squad couldn’t exactly close out games.
