Notes

After an incredible first quarter, the Clippers fell apart on both ends of the court last night to mark their third loss in a row. The NBA season is full of ups and downs, and after several months of fairly sustained excellence, it makes sense that the Clippers were going to swoon at some point. The hope is that they can stay afloat in that 8 seed, and correct their play in time for a postseason push.
