Clippers eager to even record in clash vs. Knicks

The Los Angeles Clippers will take aim at reaching the .500 mark for the first time since early in the season when they host the New York Knicks on Monday night.

The Clippers were last at .500 on Nov. 3 after losing to the Miami Heat and falling to 3-3. That setback was the first of 19 in a 22-game span as Los Angeles dropped to 6-21.

The Clippers had two recent chances to hit the break-even mark but lost both times, including a 116-112 road setback to the San Antonio Spurs on Friday.
