The Los Angeles Clippers dominated the second half en route to a 112-85 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats Wednesday night.

For the game, the Clippers held the Bobcats to just 38.2% shooting from the field (29-of-76) and 28.6% shooting from beyond the arc (six-of-21). The Bobcats made up for some of that poor shooting by hitting 21 of their 22 free throw attempts, but that obviously wasn’t nearly enough.
