The Clippers were without Kawhi Leonard, Norm Powell and Ben Simmons. Not surprisingly, on the 2nd night of a back to back they struggled mightily on offense 26% from beyond the arc and 63% from the stripe. James Harden only had 3 3's on 11 attempts and Bogdan went 1-12 from 3. Too many turnovers an issue again with 17 and they finished qtr's 1,2 and 3 giving up runs to the Pistons of 10,5, and 8. The loss extends their losing streak to 3 in a row and snaps a 10 game winning streak vs the Pistons.
