It has been nothing short of a difficult start to the season for the L.A. Clippers that has them on pace to finishing well outside of the playoff picture.

However, the Clippers may have found some momentum to get out of their struggles that saw them rack up their second straight win on Saturday night against the Sacramento Kings, behind a tough fadeaway jumper in the final seconds of the fourth quarter, courtesy of Blake Griffin.

It capped off a strong offensive showing from Griffin, who scored a game-high 33 points in the big road win over the Kings. This was just his second 30-point outing of the season and the sixth time that he has shot greater than 50 percent in a game.

Throughout these early-season struggles, Blake Griffin has remained a strong source of production, leading the team with 22.9 points per game despite shooting a career-low 41.7 percent from the field. The increased offensive workload along with the departure of All-Star point guard Chris Paul has made it more difficult for him to be an efficient offensive weapon.

However, this two-game win streak could be the start of getting things back on track for the Clippers toward making a strong playoff push. They next play the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday for the second time this season.
