Count point guard Chris Paul among the Clippers players who believe that the recently concluded road trip, during which the Clippers went 6-1, was a good thing for a team that was struggling at 5-4 ahead of it.

“I think somebody said before we went on the road, that the teams either find themselves or lose themselves and we had no choice but to start playing better on the road,” said Paul, whose team followed the trip with a rout of Minnesota on Monday night at Staples Center. “Obviously, we spend a lot of time together with each other and when we go on the road, you really have to be together.”

The Clippers, now 12-5, on Wednesday will play host to the Orlando Magic at 7:30 p.m. at Staples Center (on Prime Ticket).
