SHANGHAI - Even though All-Star point guard Chris Paul came back from a hand injury, the Los Angeles Clippers still suffered a 113-71 loss to the Charlotte Hornets in 2015 NBA Global Games in Shanghai on Wednesday.

The Hornets ended the China tour in triumph, after they won the first game 106-94 last Sunday.

Paul missed the game in Shenzhen due to left forefinger fracture. He finished with a team-high 17 points and six assists in Wednesday's game. Teammate Blake Griffin added 14 points and 14 rebounds as the only other Clippers player to score double-digit points.

"From a coaching standpoint, that was very disappointing, but from a team building standpoint, I can see what we want to do here in China," said Clippers' head coach Doc Rivers.
