Danilo Gallinari, a former Knick, scored 26 points to help Los Angeles win for the 10th time in 11 games.
Doc Rivers insists he does not stress out about the standings or speculate about N. B. A. playoff seeding. If he decides to look, he’ll be delighted with how high his Clippers have climbed.
Danilo Gallinari scored 26 points, his career-best ninth consecutive game with at least 20 points, and Los Angeles beat the Knicks, 124-113, at Madison Square Garden for its fifth straight victory.
Lou Williams had 29 points and Montrezl Harrell added 24 to provide their usual potent play off the bench for the Clippers, who are now alone in fifth place in the Western Conference. A team that once appeared to be fighting just to make the playoffs is a league-best 14-4 since Feb. 9, positioning itself to avoid a powerhouse such as Golden State in the first round.
