The Los Angeles Clippers have solidified their home court advantage with seven straight wins at home. Can the Intuit Dome prove to be a tough place for opponents to play? LA is very sports-oriented when it comes to the diversity of fans and how much they love their teams. It\u2019s also a place where tradition is taken seriously from generation to generation by fans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clippers Win Seven Straight in First Full Month at Intuit Dome<\/h2>\n

In the month of October and to start November, LA had not really established their home court dominance, especially in the very beginning. They lost their first four home games against the Phoenix Suns twice, the Portland Trail Blazers, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Clippers lost the first three by an average margin of 3.3 points, showing signs of not being able to close out games. After struggling on the road in Oklahoma City and Houston, and still without star Kawhi Leonard<\/a>, there wasn\u2019t much to lean on coming back home, but that all changed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Needing wins to cement themselves as a playoff contender in the Western Conference, the team finally got back on track at home. The Clippers have beaten some mediocre teams, but also some better teams such as the Golden State Warriors at home in November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Did the Clippers Get Here?<\/h3>\n

Down by 26 points after one quarter, the Clippers rallied to win their first game at the Intuit Dome against the San Antonio Spurs. The next game resulted in a win against the underachieving Philadelphia 76ers. That was followed by a nail-biting win against the Toronto Raptors. The Clippers then lost three in a row on the road, before getting a win in Utah against the Jazz.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally getting back home to Inglewood, LA rattled four straight key victories. The Clippers secured wins against the Utah Jazz, Golden Warriors, Orlando Magic and an NBA Cup game against the Sacramento Kings. It seems like head coach Tyronn Lue<\/a> has figured out a way to win games that they are expected to win and make a statement against the best teams<\/a> in the league.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Intuit Dome Creates a New Legacy for the Clippers<\/h3>\n

The Intuit Dome was built for the hope that Clippers fans show up and show out at every home game. Finally having their own arena and being out of the shadow of the Lakers<\/a> in downtown LA, the Clippers have something to call their own. It\u2019s a bit ironic that the Intuit Dome is neighbors directly with The Forum where the Lakers called home and cemented their legacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
