--The Clippers' success at the free-throw line is continuing. They had their best night of the season at Miami when they made 19-of-20 free throws, for 95 percent. In the past three games, the Clippers have made 48-of-53 free-throw attempts.
--The Clippers shot 43.2 percent from the field against the Heat and now have shot 50 percent from the field only once this season and once in the past 57 games, dating back to last season. The Clippers rank last in the NBA in shooting percentage. --One major component of the Clippers' offense is back. Forward Zach Randolph returned against Miami after a 19-game absence because of a bone bruise of the left knee. Randolph took up right where he left off, with 21 points in an abbreviated 26-minute stint off the bench.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Once everybody gets back healthy, we're going to be okay." -- Clippers forward Zach Randolph.
