The Clippers’ pregame layup line Sunday afternoon featured more than the usual shots and stretches. Behind ice-cold shooting and defense that made them appear frozen at times, the Clippers trailed for all but 53 seconds of the first half against Melbourne United. 43, was held to just one point in the third quarter and the Clippers took control en route to a 118-100 victory. They were among the seven Clippers to reach double figures but the scoring punch took time to arrive. It took the Clippers until midway through the third quarter to finally find a rhythm, making 18 of their 20 shots in the quarter to outscore Melbourne by 23 points.
