The L.A. Clippers went 14-1 in their final 15 games of the regular season in 2014-15, but they lost a seven-game series to the Houston Rockets in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs after blowing Game 6 at Staples Center, so that momentum didn’t hold up as long as they would have liked.

Still, the last thing the Clippers want is to enter the post-season on a down note. With two games left before the playoffs start this weekend, the Clippers had won five consecutive games and nine of 10 ahead of Tuesday’s against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Point guard Chris Paul likes that a lot.

“It is always nice to win, so you know what that is like, so you can have a nice rhythm going into playoffs,” he  said. “For us,we definitely want to keep winning and we want to make sure we are playing right by getting everyone incorporated.”

That includes getting Blake Griffin re-acclimated to the team after he missed 45 consecutive games with two injuries and a four-game suspension. Griffin has played four games since returning April 3 against Washington. He is coming off his best showing during that time, having scored 17 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in Sunday’s 98-91 victory over Dallas; Griffin also had seven assists.

Paul said regaining his rhythm with Griffin should not be such an arduous task.

“Well fortunately, this is not Blake and my first year playing together,” Paul said. “While we needed to get a little bit of the timing back, we know each other. We know our timing, what sets we like. It just sort of comes naturally. You figure it out.”

Luc Mbah a Moute, who starts alongside Griffin at forward, believes the Clippers are primed for the post-season.

“I think we are ready,” he said. “We have had Blake for a few games now. When the team gets in the rhythm with him, it is good for us.”
