The Pacific Division-leading Clippers look for a sixth win in seven games Tuesday night against the Bobcats at Staples Center.
Los Angeles (40-18) went into the break riding a four-game winning streak while averaging 110.0 points and 52.7 percent shooting. Playing for the first time since Chris Paul won All-Star game MVP honors, the Clippers came out flat in a 116-90 home loss to San Antonio on Thursday, but bounced back two nights later with a 107-94 victory over Utah.
Caron Butler scored 21 while Blake Griffin and Lamar Odom added 18 points each for Los Angeles, which shot 51.3 percent and led by as many as 21.
Meanwhile, the Bobcats, opening a four-game trip, allow an average of 102.8 points to rank 28th in the league, and they've been even worse on defense lately.
They've given up at least 105 points each time in losing their last three while allowing opponents to shoot 51.0 percent. Those contests were all at home and two came against subpar offensive teams in Detroit and Chicago.
Now they face a Clippers club that has scored at least 106 points in four of its last five and is 23-3 when getting at least 102.
Some of Charlotte's problems in a 113-99 loss to Denver on Saturday stemmed from it turning the ball over 18 times, leading to 23 points for the Nuggets.
Although the Bobcats struggled defensively Saturday, Kemba Walker again played well with 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting for his fourth straight 20-point game. He is averaging 24.8 points and 53.0 percent from the field during the surge after averaging 11.0 and 33.9 in his previous five.
Byron Mullens has cooled off considerably following a hot stretch, totaling six points and shooting 2 of 21 in his last two games. The 7-foot forward had averaged 19.2 points -- 6.7 better than his season average -- in his previous six contests.
He had a team-high 19 points to go with nine rebounds in a 100-94 loss to Los Angeles on Dec. 12, while Walker scored 17.
