The Clippers hosting the Spurs in game 5 of the 2015 NBA playoffs first-round series

The 2014–15 Los Angeles Clippers season is the 45th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 37th season in Southern California, and their 31st season in Los Angeles. Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer became the new owner of Clippers. The team finished 56–26 on the season, only one game fewer than the previous season, clinching the 3rd seed for the NBA playoffs.

In the playoffs, the Clippers faced the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs in the first round, winning in seven games after Chris Paul hit a game winning layup with 1 second on the clock and Matt Barnes blocked a desperate final inbound pass by the Spurs as time expired to seal the victory and the series, winning game 7 111–109. The Clippers' season ended with a game 7 loss in the semifinals after leading the series 3–1 over the Houston Rockets, missing out on what could have been the Clippers' first Western Conference finals appearance in franchise history. The Rockets would go on to lose in the Western Conference Finals to the eventual champion Golden State Warriors in 5 games.
