Clippers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The Clippers were greatly helped Wednesday night in Miami by an outstanding effort from Rasual Butler (12-for-19 for 31 points).

However, the rest of the team was conspicuously absent on both ends of the floor for vast portions of the contest as the Clippers fell to Miami 108-97, falling to 25-40 overall.

On offense, Steve Blake and Baron Davis were both willing passers, but their teammates, beyond Butler, frequently failed to capitalize on the open looks their moves created. And when Blake and Davis did hoist up open shots, they weren't falling and there was little, if any, effort to capture the rebounds.

The inefficiency on offense spread to the other end of the floor as well. (Los Angeles Clippers)
