The Los Angeles Clippers can extend their franchise-best winning streak in a Friday night matchup against the Utah Jazz at 9:00 pm ET.
The Clippers streak is the league's longest since San Antonio ran off 15 straight into the playoffs last season. Another win would make it the best run since Boston won 19 consecutive games in 2008-09.
They have since become the owners of the NBA's best record (23-6), which was improved with Thursday's 106-77 home win against the Celtics -- Boston's worst loss of the season.
"Some people may be impressed by the record, but we can't be," Chris Paul said. "We're not measured by our regular-season wins."
Blake Griffin agreed, saying, "We want to be winning in April, May and June."
The Jazz (15-15), meanwhile, have stumbled recently, losing five of seven overall and their last two home games after starting 9-1 at EnergySolutions Arena.
Utah matched a season low in points with a 94-83 loss to Golden State on Wednesday and its offense seemed disrupted by the absence of point guard Mo Williams. Williams, averaging 12.9 points and 6.7 assists, missed his second straight game with a sprained right thumb and is out indefinitely.
Utah had beaten the Clippers in 11 of 12 before losing the last three games, including a 105-104 home loss on Dec. 3.
