    The Clippers’ season wasn’t all pain and misery. They discovered a few things about themselves despite missing the playoffs for the first time in seven seasons. They learned they had more muscle, energy resilience than they realized when 2017-18 began back in October.
    There were surprises.
    For instance, Montrezl Harrell was a throw-in, a body and a salary needed to satisfy Chris Paul’s demand last summer to be traded to the Houston Rockets. Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams wer
