GEORGE SCORES 33 POINTS, CLIPPERS SNAP SUNS’ WINNING STREAK
The Clippers have not been a very successful franchise. Between 1978 and 2010, the Clippers only made the playoffs four times. They were known as the San Diego Clippers from 1978 to 1984. Their success in the regular season has only come recently.
Since 2011, the Clippers made the playoffs eight times and are set to make the postseason again this season. However, Los Angeles has never made a conference finals, let alone an NBA Finals.
The team is 35-18 this season and in second place in the Pacific Division. Los Angeles’ win Thursday night over the Phoenix Suns contributed to its win streak. The team has won nine out of its last 12 games.
