3) Light Up

The three pointer has been an issue as of late. It’s falling decently, but the team is reliant on it. The Clippers shot 35 times and knocked down 13. Other than Austin Rivers, Mo Speights and Blake Griffin tonight, they just weren’t falling. J.J. Redick looked like he might have yet another game without connecting, but finished 1 for 6. Raymond Felton only hit 1 of 3 and Jamal knocked down 2 of 6. No one has really gotten hot for the team lately from deep and yet the team settles.
