The reigning champions are hitting their stride as the season approaches its climax. Securing back-to-back victories against the Cleveland Cavaliers (130-101) and the San Antonio Spurs (110-105), they've propelled themselves to the top of the Western Conference standings, edging out for the coveted first-place spot.

Under Tyronn Lue's leadership, the Clippers embarked on an impressive 26-5 run stretching from December to early February, establishing a significant advantage in the Western Conference race.
