Clipper Clinch A Winning November Record

The Clippers won their third straight on Sunday to improve to 8-6. With one game remaining this month, Los Angeles is guaranteed to finish November with a winning record for the first time since 1992 and for just the second time in 30 years.

"I felt good about it, but I didn't know if we'd do it with the injuries we've had," Dunleavy said. "Obviously, other guys have come in and played very well for us. I don't think we've overachieved, but we've come together quicker maybe than anticipated.

"I mean, everybody's doing what I kind of envisioned them to do. But being so young and new to each other, I kind of felt like I'd see this a little bit further down the road. So this is a big positive for us right now."

Kerry Kittles Makes Clippers Debut in Loss to Phoenix

Kerry Kittles made his Clippers debut on Sunday night in a loss to the Phoenix Suns. He finished with two points in 24 minutes.

Kittles underwent knee surgery in June

"My knee and my legs weren't that much of an issue. But my timing was definitely off, which was expected because I hadn't played," said Kittles, who came over from New Jersey in the offseason. "The leg feels pretty good right now, and it's just a matter of getting my rhythm back on the court and learning to play with these guys."
