Clippers navigated regular season filled with twists and turns

The Clippers have arrived at the playoffs after a season of change, sacrifice and one late U-turn that led to a 51-win season, a Pacific Division title and a brush with the top seed in the Western Conference before landing at the No. 4 spot.

The Clippers head into the postseason with high expectations of turning their season-long twists into an NBA championship, starting with Game 1 of their best-of-seven series against No. 5 seed Dallas Mavericks on Sunday afternoon at Crypto.com Arena.
