In their last outing at Crypto.com Arena, the Clippers showcased a dominant performance against the Toronto Raptors with a 126-120 victory. This win was characterized by an impressive offensive display where they shot 53 percent from the field and an exceptional 44 percent from beyond the arc. Their ability to convert free throws was also noteworthy as they hit every single one of their attempts.


The team's bench depth proved crucial once again, contributing 29 points and maintaining intensity throughout the game. Defensively, they managed five blocks and six steals while holding their opponents to a shooting percentage that allowed them to maintain control for over half of the game's duration.


However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Clippers in recent games. They suffered a narrow defeat against cross-town rivals Los Angeles Lakers with a scoreline of 103-106 just before their victory over Toronto. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways including strong defensive efforts with five blocks and twelve steals as well as maintaining lead for significant portions of that contest.


Looking ahead at Memphis Grizzlies' home court advantage in FedExForum could play into this upcoming match-up on January 13th. The venue is known for its raucous atmosphere which can undoubtedly influence game dynamics.


Fans can catch this high-stakes battle live on BSSC channel 693 or head down to FedExForum if they want to experience it firsthand. Tip-off is scheduled for January 13th at what will be local time in Memphis (US/Central), which translates into late-night viewing back in Los Angeles (US/Pacific).
