Clippers struggle against Toronto

Maybe their rhythm got left at customs.

Playing the Toronto Raptors in Vancouver Sunday, the Clippers struggled throughout their second preseason game, losing 94-73.

While the team's offensive output was an issue -- the 73 points weren't some sort of exchange-rate snafu -- the Clippers' defense in the third quarter was the major problem.

Toronto lit the Clippers up for 37 points in the third, getting whatever they wanted while forcing turnovers and missed shots.

J.J. Redick (15 points) and Blake Griffin (14 points) were the only Clippers in double figures.

The team returns to Los Angeles for a few days before leaving for a week in China.
