Three highlights to take away from the Clippers’ heartbreaking loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Clippers had the game in the bag, then it spilled all over them at the end of regulation.

At some point between the third and fourth quarter Lob City had a lead of around 10 plus points. Unfortunately they ended up losing by three points.

They allowed their opponent to come back and eventually win the game. Los Angeles had this game and their defense just failed on them in the end.

The Clippers were playing great basketball looking impressive without stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

This loss proves two things, one the Clippers need them and two Lob City can find ways to win without them. On the bright side there are 3 highlights to take from this loss.
