How to watch Los Angeles Clippers on TV?

LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS

The Clippers were founded in 1970 as the Buffalo Braves, one of three NBA expansion teams that year (Portland and Cleveland were the other two). The franchise relocated to San Diego in 1978 becoming the San Diego Clippers. Without the approval of the NBA, the Clippers were relocated to Los Angeles in 1984 where they have remained ever since.

The Clippers have not had a ton of success as a franchise. They have made the postseason just fourteen times and went 30 years without winning a playoff series (1976-2006). The Clippers have never been to an NBA Finals.
