Los Angeles (27-8), which owns the NBA's best record by a half-game over Oklahoma City, won a club-record 17 straight overall before back-to-back road losses at Denver and Golden State Jan. 1-2.
The Clippers, however, haven't stopped winning at home since suffering a 105-98 loss to New Orleans on Nov. 26.
The Clippers rank among the league leaders in points in the paint (47.0 per game) and are 23-2 when they score at least 40 in the lane. The Clippers have averaged 107.1 points during their 12-game home streak, more than five points better than their season average (101.9). That's bad news for Dallas, which is 1-13 on the road when opponents score 100 points or more.
Meanwhile, the Mavs have lost eight of nine away from home and 12 of 14 overall, dropping their third straight with a 100-94 loss at Utah on Monday. Even with Dirk Nowitzki back in the lineup, Dallas has dropped nine of 10 -- with its only win coming at league-worst Washington on Jan. 1.
"I know one thing: we're going to keep on pushing," said Nowitzki. "I'm going to keep on getting in better shape."
