Here are five takeaways from the game:
1. As if it couldn’t get any worse for the Clippers, guard J.J. Redick pulled up lame with a sore left hamstring in the third quarter and did not return.
Redick had been the Clippers’ main source of offense while in the game, scoring 22 points on eight-for-16 shooting, including four of seven on three-pointers, in 26 minutes.
Redick joined Chris Paul (left hamstring) and Blake Griffin (right knee surgery) on the bench.
“I would describe it as mild, [a] day-to-day type thing,” Redick said after the game.
