What happened: The NBA determined that Bam Adebayo should have been whistled for a foul on a Max Strus drive while the LA Clippers led by two points late in Wednesday's game. The league also ruled Adebayo's screen on Klay Thompson's game-winning 3-pointer was a correct non-call. The Clippers went on to fall 117-116.

Why it matters: The missed call denied Strus two free throws to extend the lead in a one-point contest. The defeat dropped the Clippers to 1-7 on the season and extended their losing streak to seven games.

By the numbers: The Clippers sit at 1-7 in 2026-27 through 8 games following seven consecutive losses. Adebayo has recorded 16.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in 2026-27 through 8 games, while Strus has recorded 10.0 points and 5.5 assists per game in 2026-27 through 2 games.

What to watch: The Clippers look to snap their seven-game skid in their next regular-season contest.
