The Los Angeles Clippers will travel to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves tonight. The Clippers are coming off of a win against the Chicago Bulls.

The Clippers will have to continue to play without Blake Griffin while he is expected to be out for another two weeks. This means putting more of the pressure on Chris Paul to move the team forward offensively and DeAndre Jordan to push the other team defensively.

ESPN.com reports the following on tonight’s game:

“The Clippers were at their best on that end in their last two games. Los Angeles held Memphis to 37.9 percent shooting Friday in a 97-79 win, then limited short-handed Chicago to 31.0 percent — their stingiest mark of the season — in a 96-86 victory Sunday.

“We’re just better at (defense),” coach Doc Rivers told the team’s official website. “As the year goes on, as I keep saying, you get better. You don’t stay the same, we hope. I think we’re better equipped to (grind it out) now.”

DeAndre Jordan, who totaled 48 boards in the wins over the Grizzlies and Bulls, has been the anchor. The league has seen 12 individual 20-rebound games since Feb. 1, and Jordan has five of them.”

They also report the following on the Timberwolves:

“Two of those near misses came after the Timberwolves beat the Wizards 97-77 in Kevin Garnett‘s return to Minnesota on Wednesday. Garnett rested in a 96-89 loss at Chicago on Friday, then wasn’t around for much of the final two quarters of Saturday’s 101-97 loss to the Grizzlies after being ejected early in the third.

“We knew we were better than we started,” Andrew Wiggins, who’s averaged 21.6 points in five games since the All-Star break, told the Timberwolves’ official website. “It’s starting to show now that we have all of our guys back.”
