Kevin Porter Jr., chipped in 17 points and seven rebounds for Los Angeles before he rolled his left ankle on a drive to the basket with 1:29 left as he lost the ball out of bounds with his team trailing by three.
This loss put the Clippers at 1-2 in the group stage for the NBA Cup and they finished their four-game road trip going 2-2.
