Records: Clippers 12-6, Suns 7-13.

Record vs. Suns (2011-12): 1-3.

Update: The Clippers appear to be back in stride again, having won four consecutive games. Having lost this season to the Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Hornets, two teams with losing records, the Clippers know they can’t take the Suns lightly. The Suns have lost five consecutive games. This is the fifth game in a stretch where the Clippers play six of seven at home before they go out on the road.
