Indiana Pacers forward Jermaine O'Neal, right, attempts a shot over Los Angeles Clippers forward Corey Maggette, left, and center Chris Kaman in the first quarter of NBA basketball action in Indianapolis, Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2007.

Somehow, the Los Angeles Clippers keep winning. Already missing Elton Brand and Shaun Livingston because of injuries, the Clippers lost top scorer Cuttino Mobley and reserve Ruben Patterson in the first quarter Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. Even without all those players, the Clipper still have Sam Cassell.
