<h3>Elder Dunleavy hopes to set win record at son's expense</h3>

<div class="pre">LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - Mike Dunleavy looks to become the</div>winningest coach in the history of the Los Angeles Clippers onSunday as his team faces the Indiana Pacers.


Los Angeles, which owns a dismal .368 winning percentage(1110-1906) since it began play in 1970-71, has been unable tokeep the same coach employed for more than four consecutiveseasons throughout its existence.


This, in large part, explains why Jack Ramsey (1972-1976) stillholds the franchise record for most wins (158), a mark theDunleavy can break with a win over the Pacers.


A victory by the Clippers, who are in the midst of a four-gamelosing streak, will likely depend on how effective the team isin guarding the coach's son, Mike Dunleavy Jr., who is averaging22.1 points in Indiana's victories, compared to 11.3 in itslosses.


If Los Angeles wins, it would sweep this two-game season seriesfor the second time in four years after failing to do so in 11straight seasons before that.
