The Agua Caliente Clippers’ season-long run of alternating wins and losses was snapped Monday, after they lost 129-90 to the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League bubble in Orlando.
The loss is the Clippers’ second in a row, after dropping Sunday’s close game against the Lakeland Magic, and leaves Agua Caliente with a 3-5 record for the season. But a 39-point loss from this game is probably going to sting a bit more for Paul Hewitt’s group.
The Clippers started the game with James Palmer, Jr., J.J. Avila, Emanuel Terry, Jahmi’us Ramsey, and Tyrone Wallace. Warriors veteran Jeremy Lin and rookie Nico Mannion were out for this game with injuries.

The Agua Caliente Clippers opened their 2021 G League season in the Orlando bubble with a 99-95 loss Thursday.
LA Clippers player Amir Coffey scored 14 points and was a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line, on a night when the A.C. Clippers shot just 71 percent from the charity stripe, which ultimately cost them the game.
Paul Hewitt, in his first game in charge of Agua Caliente, opted for a starting five of Coffey, Tyrone Wallace, James Palmer, Jr., Emanuel Terry, and Donte Grantham.
