The Clippers will face another big test Wednesday night when they face the Oklahoma City Thunder at Staples Center.
Oklahoma City lost in the second round of the playoffs last season, but reached the NBA Finals in 2012, losing to the Miami Heat.
The Thunder are back playing high-caliber basketball again. The Thunder (5-1) have the second best record in the Western Conference, third best in the NBA.
“It’s a good test,” Blake Griffin said. “It’s just like playing against the Heat. As far as I’m concerned, playing against Minnesota even, teams like that, they are playoff teams and they are teams you have to beat down the stretch to get to where you want to go. So, it’s a good test.”
