Clippers Get Crushed by Detroit

The Los Angeles Clippers were defeated by the Detroit Pistons 88-87, their 7th straight loss. The Clips lost on a goaltending call on Al Thornton, whose foul gave Allen Iverson the winning basket. Fred Jones sprained his foot in the opening minutes of the game, becoming the latest victim of the injury bug that is plaguing the Clippers.
