After a narrow victory allowed by a late span of hot shooting, the Pels are playing again - this time against the 21-21 LA Clippers. The Clippers are a top 5 defense, but a bottom 4 offense: one of the few teams worse than us in ORTG at this point in the season. They've also lost 3 of their last 5, including losses to Memphis and Minnesota, and one of those 2 wins came by only 1 basket against the 20-19 Nuggets.
Is this a game that I think we could potentially win? Yes, I think so. Will we? I can never assume that.
Let's see what happens.
