ATLANTA — The Clippers could not stop the bleeding to end the second quarter Friday.
They could not find answers at the end of the third quarter, either.
And down just four points with 36 seconds to play, after a furious 10-2 run that turned what appeared to be an Atlanta blowout into another improbable comeback, their mistakes in the closing possessions of the fourth cost them a chance to begin this three-game road trip with a victory.
