Good morning. Let's basketball.


THE CLIPPERS ARE BACK? L.A. has won five straight and sits tied with Houston for No. 4. Jamal Crawford dropped 21 in the fourth and had the assist of the night. To prove the Clippers actually like each other, DAJ sang over Crawford's shoulder during the post-game interview. The Clippers are back!


YOUR DAILY ANT-MAN: Good heavens, Anthony Davis.


COLD WORLD: Ryan Saunders, Wolves assistant coach, tries to restrain Flip Saunder, his father, while the latter argues with the ref. Flip stiff-arms Ryan in the chest for his troubles.


MORE SCORES: Check out our NBA Scores hub for recaps of the action, including the Celtics' third West victory this week.


UPDATE: Kobe will indeed have surgery to repair his torn rotator cuff and miss the rest of the season. He vows to return with new cybernetic arms next season.


GOLDEN DYNASTY: I looked at the Warriors' financial situation and determined that, barring injuries, Golden State has the makings of a new dynasty. Speaking of the Warriors ...


MEET THE PRESS FANFIC? I'M IN. Fake Thomas Friedman on the future of the Dubs.


SHOOTOUT! Woj reports the Three-Point Shootout lineup: The Splash Brothers, Kyle Korver, Wesley Matthews and J.J. Redick. Our dreams of a Nick Young-J.R. Smith final are dashed again. My money is on Matthews, who I think will spend more energy trying to prepare for this than the others.


KA-KAW! Drew Garrison's NBA Power Rankings still feature the Hawks prominently, of course.


BAD BREAK, ERR TEAR: Kemba Walker will miss at least six weeks after surgery to repair a torn meniscus.. The Hornets, who have surged into the playoff picture, are chasing some help in the trade market.


YES: The Warriors made a life-sized Manute Bol bobblehead.


ON STEPH'S HANDLE: Good piece in the San Francisco Chronicle on Curry's moves.


WOW: Kobe says he would have joined the Wizards if MJ hadn't been run out following his second retirement.


AND FINALLY: Beer rabbit. Man's true best friend. Beer rabbit.


Happy Tuesday. See you next time.
