Chris Paul: 'Washington Wizards trip has become must-win'

Chris Paul has said that the Los Angeles Clippers' trip to the Washington Wizards this weekend has become "must-win".

Saturday's game will be their seventh-straight fixture away from home, with last night's 102-93 defeat to the Brooklyn Nets being their third loss of their current away run.

The point guard told reporters: "We've got to put everything into that game. We're going to DC. Washington is a team that's been playing well.

"We've got to win it. It's early in the season but it's a must-win for us so that we can at least feel somewhat decent for this trip."

The Clippers currently lead the Pacific Division.
