Keys to the Game:
•Stay Hot
The last time the Kings played the Clippers, they went up by double digits and then proceeded to blow the game in the 3rd quarter. This time around you've got to stay hot. Make your shots, be aggressive and don't let your foot off the gas pedal until that final buzzer sounds.
•Win the Rebounding Battle
The Clippers will be without franchise forward Blake Griffin, but they will still have the monster down low known as DeAndre Jordan. Jordan is one of the NBA's top goalies and winning the rebound battle over him is a pivotal key to winning the game.
