The Los Angeles Clippers closed out a grueling stretch of 20 games in 31 days with their first five-game winning streak since 2006. There are bigger things on their horizon, though. Next up is a game at Dallas, with the defending NBA champions right behind the fourth-place Clippers in the Western Conference standings. "It's big because it could mean the difference between the fourth and fifth seed," said Blake Griffin, who had 24 points in the Clippers' 105-96 win over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.
