  • Clippers were simply bad in blowout loss to Atlanta Hawks

    Bad. Bad. Bad. There really was no other way to describe the unsightly basketball the Clippers played Sunday night during a disheartening 110-93 loss to an underwhelming Atlanta Hawks team at Crypto.com Arena. That the Clippers got down by 29 points in the fourth quarter was bad because of the lack of effort they displayed. They were bad on defense, looking indifferent about doing anything to stop the Hawks from shooting 48.8% from the field, 50% from three-point range. They were bad on offense,...

It was tough,” Proulx said. “That save that [Dedasco] made on the line was crucial for us.” Missed opportunities plagued Angel City in front...

They’ve gone to one Elite Eight, matching the furthest run of any team in school history other than the 1978 bunch that won the AIAW championship.
