NBA Power Rankings: The Celtics continue winning despite adversity

21. Los Angeles Clippers

Five straight losses for the Clippers feels like a concern. After after a stellar defensive start to the year, Los Angeles the league’s second-worst defensive rating over the last week, per nba.com/stats. The only team worse? The Bulls. Things definitely could be going better, especially since losses to the Thunder and Pelicans could come back to hurt the Clippers later on.
