Clippers Dominate Nets, Fight for Sixth Place

The Los Angeles Clippers are on a strong run, winning 10 of their last 12 games, including a decisive 132-100 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, with Kawhi Leonard scoring 31 points and contributing significantly in rebounds and defense. The Clippers are fighting to hold onto sixth place in the Western Conference to avoid the play-in tournament. In contrast, the Brooklyn Nets continue a downward spiral, losing six straight games and struggling defensively against strong teams. Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings, behind Zach LaVine's 29 points, ended their losing streak with a dominant 128-107 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. The Clippers will face the Cleveland Cavaliers next, who are leading the Eastern Conference but have recently struggled, losing five of their last eight games.
