Clippers-Mavericks Preview A lengthy stay at home appeared to provide just what the Los Angeles Clippers needed to end their struggles on the court and put aside any distractions off it. 之前一連串的主場作戰讓洛杉磯快艇得到了喘息的機會，也讓他們從低潮中振作，並且專心在球場上。 The Clippers, though, will be on the road for much of the rest of the season starting Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks, winners of 10 in a row at home in the series. 不過快艇在所剩不長的賽季中將會有不少的客場出賽，明天他們要對上達拉斯小牛，而小牛目前對戰快艇拿下了主場十連勝。 Los Angeles entered its five-game homestand after getting swept during a three-games-in-three-days road stretch and having lost 12 of 19 overall following a 19-9 start. That miserable trip led to questions about coach Vinny Del Negro's job security, but he received a vote of confidence from owner Donald Sterling during the stay at the Staples Center. 快艇的開季拿下19勝9敗，接著他們在19場比賽輸了12場，包括一度在三天內的客場三連戰遭到橫掃，然後才回家進行主場五連戰。這讓快艇教練Vinny Del Negro的帥位差點不保，不過他在回到主場之後得到總管Donald Sterling的支持。 The franchise's first five-game win streak since November 2006 certainly helped, as Los Angeles (31-21) finished its perfect homestand by beating Utah 105-96 on Saturday. 快艇拿下了自2006年11月以來首度的五連勝，讓總教練的位置不會再受到動搖，戰績31勝21敗的快艇昨天以105-96 在主場擊敗猶他爵士之後漂亮的拿下五場主場的全勝。 "It ain't a huge milestone," said guard Chris Paul, who had a team-high 26 points. "You've got to strive for more than that. Every win now is crucial. We got to expect to win. The mindset is changing, and that's a good thing." 昨天拿下全隊最高26分的後衛Chris Paul說："這不是什麼特別的紀錄，你必須打出比現在更好的成績，每一場勝利都是關鍵，我們要把比賽贏下來。我對於球隊心態的轉換感到高興。" Blake Griffin had 24 points, his sixth straight game with at least 20. He'll try to continue that streak while helping his team end its struggles against the Mavericks (30-23). Blake Griffin昨天攻下24分，他已經連續六場比賽得分在 20分以上，不過明天他要碰上他打的比較不順手的小牛。 The Clippers - who play nine of their final 14 away from Staples Center - are on the verge of their second four-game road losing streak, and the prospects of avoiding that don't appear promising. Los Angeles has dropped 17 of 19 to Dallas and hasn't won at the American Airlines Center since April 19, 2006, when the 23-year-old Griffin was a junior in high school. 快艇接下來的14場比賽有9場作客，明天要避免本季第二度的客場四連敗，但是前途黯淡。快艇在最近19次作客達拉斯輸了其中的17場比賽，上次贏球是2006年4月19日的事了，那時候現年23歲的Griffin還只是個高中生而已。 Dallas enters this matchup having split its last six games but with six wins in its last seven at home. The Mavericks bounced back from a 106-85 drubbing in Miami on Thursday by rallying for a 100-98 victory at Orlando on Friday. 小牛在最近的六場比賽裏面勝敗各半，不過在最近的七場主場比賽贏了六場。在之前已85-106慘敗給邁阿密熱火之後，小牛力圖振作，隔天以100-98逆轉擊敗地主奧蘭多魔術。 They trailed by 15 in the third quarter but completed their comeback when Dirk Nowitzki hit a 15-foot jumper with 5.9 seconds left. Nowitzki had 28 points to lead five players in double figures while giving his team only its second win when trailing to start the final period. 小牛一度在第三節落後15分，不過Dirk Nowitzki在倒數5.9 秒的一記15呎跳投得手之後逆轉成功。Dirk拿下全隊最高的 28分，小牛有五人攻下雙位數得分，這只是小牛本季第二度在打完三節落後最後卻逆轉獲勝的比賽。 "We showed a lot of fortitude, a lot of grit and lot of togetherness," coach Rick Carlisle said. "We have lofty goals, but we've got 13 games to go and we've got a lot of improvement left." 小牛教練Rick Carlisle說："我們展現出了堅毅的特性，咬緊牙關並且團結一致。我們的目標還很遠，但我們還有13場比賽要打，並且還有很多的進步空間。" Dallas will continue that work while attempting to close its gap on Los Angeles in the standings. The fifth-place Mavericks are 1 1/2 games behind the fourth-place Clippers, who are seeking to catching the rival Lakers in the Pacific Division. 小牛希望能繼續拉近與快艇之間的勝差，現在西區排在第五的小牛落後第四的快艇一場半的勝差，而快艇則是希望能夠追上太平洋組的強敵洛杉磯湖人。 They can help themselves in that quest with their first six-game win streak since March 18-31, 1992, a run that began with a 117-86 victory in Dallas. 快艇如果能拿下1992年3月之後首度的六連勝將會對球隊很有幫助，剛好上次六連勝的首戰他們就是以117-86在達拉斯取勝。 Los Angeles earned its most recent victory in the series Jan. 18 when the now-injured Chauncey Billups hit a last-second 3-pointer to secure a 91-89 win. 快艇在最近一次於1月18日擊敗小牛的比賽中多虧了Chauncey Billups在倒數1秒時投進逆轉三分球，帶領快艇以91-89的比數獲勝，不過他因傷球季已經報銷。 Nowitzki scored 11 of his team-best 22 points over the final six-plus minutes to lead his team to a 96-92 victory in Dallas on Feb. 13. Caron Butler had a season-high 23 for the Clippers and Griffin added 20 but missed seven of nine free throws. 而小牛在2月13號復仇成功，Dirk拿下全隊最高的22分，並且在倒數六分多鐘攻下11分，帶領小牛以96-92在主場獲勝。而 Caron Butler則得到本季最高的23分，Griffin攻下20分，不過九次罰球有七球沒進。回主場繼續加油吧!!
