What happened: The latest game ended in a 117-116 overtime loss Wednesday. Brook Lopez was asked why the Clippers' interior offense has faded late after contributing earlier in games.

Why it matters: The Clippers are 1-7 through eight games and have lost seven straight. Their late scoring gap has made it harder to turn earlier offensive success into wins.

What to watch: The Clippers' next game will test whether they can sustain their interior scoring into the fourth quarter.
