Will the Clippers Sail Smoothly at the Smoothie King Center?
As the LA Clippers prepare to face off against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive performance streak.

The team's defensive efforts cannot be overlooked either; despite allowing 122 points against Phoenix, they managed to keep their opponents' lead to zero throughout the game. This balance between offense and defense is crucial as they head into an away game environment.
