– With this defeat, the Clippers (19-10) are now just 4-7 against teams with winning records. That means that of their 19 victories, only four have come against teams with winning records.

– Once again the Clippers showed an inability to sustain solid play. They were ahead by 13 points not quite midway through the third quarter, only to lose by three points. A 16-point turn-around during winning time is not going to cut it against good teams like Atlanta.

– Jamal Crawford scored 18 points, but he shot just 5 of 19 from the field. Over his past three games he has shot 16 of 50, for just 32 percent. He was 6 of 20 from 3-point range during that time for a 30 percent clip.

– The Clippers have now lost three of four and five of their past eight games. Backup post Spencer Hawes sustained a knee injury during the first game of that losing run and has missed the past seven games entirely. Don’t think the Clippers don’t miss him. They do.

– DeAndre Jordan had another monster game. He scored 15 points, pulled down 22 rebounds and blocked four shots. His only blemish was shooting 1-for-4 from the free-throw line, but that’s almost expected. This month he is averaging 15.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks. Over the past five games he’s averaging 17.2 rebounds and is now averaging a league-high 13.4.
