Clippers lose lead, but hang on to win without Chris Paul.
The Nets rebounded from another ugly start on Monday, but a big comeback fell short, as they finished their road trip at 1-3 with a 101-91 loss to the Clippers. The Nets shot 42 percent from the field and 8-for-24 from 3-point range. The difference in the game was rebounding, where the Clippers had a 46-35 advantage.
Clippers 53, Nets 40 at the half.

Chris Paul is questionable and likely out of the Nets final game on their four-game west coast road trip. For the Nets, it's another piece of luck. In Denver, they missed Ty Lawson and in Phoenix, they missed Steve Nash. It worked out once, didn't once.
The Clippers will likely be without Chris Paul when the 3-10 Nets come to town.
