There was no backbreaking run this time in the Clippers’ latest loss, only a gradual run for the other team.
Earlier this season, the Clippers could count on their second unit for energy and for the most part to generate a lot more points than whatever they gave up.
But that was not the case Sunday in the second quarter of an eventual 111-102 loss to the Pacers. That has also not been the case in the Clippers’ recent slump as they have lost four of six games and Coach Doc Rivers has been tinkering with what had been the league’s best five-man bench group.
