NBA professional basketball team season
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2013–14 Los Angeles Clippers season was the 44th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 36th season in Southern California, and their 30th season in Los Angeles. The team finished with a franchise record of 57–25, earning them the 3rd seed in the Western Conference. It was also the last season under Donald Sterling's ownership, as after the regular season ended and during their trip to the Playoffs, a leaked conversation with him that happened before the season began came to light involving controversial and racial remarks against black people, especially toward that of former Lakers player Magic Johnson.
In the playoffs, the Clippers defeated the Golden State Warriors in seven games in the First Round, but lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in six games in the Semi-finals.
