We cant keep giving those games away.The Clippers lost for just the second time in 13 games, falling to 7-1 on the road.Give the Pistons credit; Stan really had them ready to play, Clippers coach Doc Rivers said.

His back-to-back 3-pointers pulled the Clippers within 82-80 at periods end.We cut into their lead at the end of the third quarter, but we were still making mistakes, Rivers said. When you are that far behind, you have to play perfect basketball or you use up everything getting it close.Redick finished with 18 in the quarter.He did all that against a really good defender in KCP, Van Gundy said. I was sitting on the bench wondering how I didnt win 65 games a year when I was coaching him in Orlando.Los Angeles scored the first four points of the fourth to take the lead, but stopped hitting shots. That let the Pistons respond with a 15-2 run, capped off by Caldwell-Popes 3-pointer to make it 97-86 with 5:14 to play.We didnt panic, Caldwell-Pope said. We just kept doing what we had been doing all game, and kept trying to make J.J. work.TIP-INSClippers: Paul didnt score in the second half, but put up 10 assists. ...
