DALLAS — At 10:51 p.m. Central time, the Los Angeles Clippers could see their season slipping away. The Clippers had played the Mavericks to a standstill through the halfway point of the game, but they faded in the second half and so did their season, a 114-101 defeat at American Airlines Center sending the Clippers home for the season. The Clippers trailed by 13 points in the second quarter, but they didn’t blink just because their offense was flowing. By the half, the Clippers had tied the score at 52-52. But all the hard work by the Clippers in the first half was missing in the third quarter.
