MIAMI AT CLIPPERS

When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

TV: ESPN.

The Clippers hope this isn’t the last time they see the Heat this season.

Another meeting could take place only in the Finals, foreign territory to the Clippers but somewhere Miami has been three consecutive times.

The Heat beat the Clippers, 102-97, in the teams’ first meeting this season by repeatedly trapping Chris Paul and forcing five turnovers.

The Clippers won’t have Paul this time because he is still recovering from a separated shoulder, but they have won 11 of their 15 games since he was sidelined.

He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
