The Los Angeles Clippers looked impressive early tonight but they couldn’t hold on. They lost to the Toronto Raptors 123-107. This marks the third loss in a row for the Clippers.
Blake Griffin scored 26 points, Chris Paul had 22 and Jamal Crawford had 18. They dropped to 2-4 for eight-game road trip, which will end with games in Oklahoma City and Dallas.
They created a decent lead for themselves in the first quarter, and gave us all hope that tonight would be different from last night.
Us too! RT @LAClippers: So it’s 19-6. This is going well. We like this sort of thing.

Lou Williams also had 18 points, Greivis Vasquez scored 12 of his 17 in the fourth quarter and James Johnson came back after missing four games and put up 16 points.
