The Los Angeles Clippers are 6-4 since the All-Star break and opponents are averaging 106.3 points per 100 possessions during that span -- a mark that would rank 18th overall.

Blake Griffin said it will be imperative for the Clippers to adopt an aggressive defensive mentality as the team moves into the final 16 games of the regular season.

“I think it’s defense,” Griffin said. “When we were winning games, we had that streak going and before that, I thought the way we played defensively was aggressive. We messed up at times, our rotations weren’t great at times, but I thought we did a great job of forcing teams to figure out what they were going to do against our defense.”

The Clippers have struggled with their three-point defense, allowing opponents to shoot 37.5 percent from distance this season.

In their last four losses the Clippers have allowed opponents to shoot 43.8 percent from beyond the arc.

“We can do a better job of guarding the three,” Griffin said. “That’s been our downfall in games that we’ve lost, you know, poor three-point defense. It’s something that we have to address.”
