Game 40: Miami Heat vs Los Angeles Clippers

The prospects of meeting the Miami Heat did not faze the Los Angeles Clippers, instead inspiring them to do their best to hand the Heat a rare loss, jumping on them on the very first period, earning 44 points with a comfortable cushion 18 points at the end of the period. The Heat tried to trim down the deficit but were unable to eke out a win over the Clips.

The loss was a setback to the Heat attempt to lengthen the 13 road wins.

Though the San Antonio Spurs may have the best record in the NBA, we enjoy tracking the games of the Heat. The team boasts of a proven star in Wade who is now joined by James and Bosh. The Heatś game is exciting and they look VULNERABLE. The win should energize the Clippers who currently stands at position 13, third from the bottom rankings in the Western Conference.

This loss should not disappoint Heat fans, once a while a rare loss should make the team conscious always of performing at its best and should humble the Heat into NOT taking any team lightly.
