The missing piece is consistent defence — and that nearly cost them on Wednesday night.The Clippers blew a 15-point, first-half lead and nearly gave away a 20-point lead in the final 14 minutes before hanging on for their ninth straight win — 103-96 over the struggling Indiana Pacers.Defend. Thats how we fix it, Coach Rivers said when asked to explain what happened. Thats not that hard. They can do it and theyve done it. So, theyve shown they can do it, and they will do it.Los Angeles (16-5) won in typical fashion.Jamal Crawford scored 18 points, including a critical 20-foot, off-balance jumper with 1:50 to go that made it a two-possession game.Blake Griffin had 17 points, including a key free throw during the final stretch, and added 10 rebounds and five assists. DeAndre Jordan finished with 12 points and a season high 19 rebounds, and Chris Paul had eight points and 15 assists — one short of the season high he established Saturday.But the short-handed Pacers (7-15) simply refused to let the Clippers pull away. C.J. Miles scored a season high 30 points, Lavoy Allen had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Luis Scola had 12 points and 14 rebounds.It wasnt quite enough to pull of the comeback.While Rivers challenged his backups to protect leads better, Pacers coach Frank Vogel was contemplating how to get more out of his starters and possible lineup changes.Somethings got to change for us to get off to better starts, Vogel said. That group is struggling. Its not clicking.The discrepancy was so clear-cut Wednesday that Vogel didnt even bother putting his starters in for the stretch run.After the backups helped Indiana rally from a 15-point first-quarter deficiit to take a 45-44 lead, the starters got outscored 10-4 in the final minutes of the first half.ddddddddddddRoy Hibberts 19-foot jumper to start the second half cut the deficit to 54-51, but the Clippers answered with a 16-5 run to take a 14-point lead. Jordan Farmars 3-pointer with 1:52 left in the third quarter made it 82-62.But the Pacers second unit started the fourth quarter on a 12-4 spurt, closed to within five, fell behind 95-87 with 3:42 to play and then made one more rally. Scolas layup with 3:09 got the Pacers within three, and Allens 20-foot jumper with 2:00 to go made it 98-96.Crawford then answered with the jumper, and the Pacers never scored again.The key was that we didnt get rattled, Paul said. We dont want to lose leads of 15 or 20 points, but in an 82-game season, its going to happen. The important thing is we still got the win.TIP-INSClippers: Los Angeles came in leading the NBA in 3-point shooting at 38.5 per cent. However, they were just 4 of 15 from beyond the arc at halftime and finished 7 of 24 (29.2 per cent) for the game.Pacers: Whats wrong with the Pacers?
