Pablo Prigioni made eight steals in just under 15 minutes off the bench Wednesday night in the Clippers’ 104-90 victory over the visiting Miami Heat. When Prigioni, 38, was asked to talk about it, he began doing so, but finished with a team-oriented thought.

“It was a combination of different things,” he said. “I was active today. I read what was happening more and I was lucky in some of the steals. I was happy because the team keeps winning and we are missing some very, very important guys.

“Everybody has stepped up and helped in different ways, but has helped the team keep winning. The team is the number one most important thing.”

The “team” has won 10 consecutive games, the past nine without Blake Griffin. DeAndre Jordan also did not play Wednesday because he has pneumonia.
