Regular Season Round 31: LA Clippers - Sacramento K. 100-82
Date: November 25, 2010
Eric Gordon scored 28 points and rookie Blake Griffin had 25 points and 15 rebounds for the Los Angeles Clippers, who took full advantage of their new one-two punch to beat the Sacramento Kings 100-82 on Thursday night. Center Chris Kaman was sidelined for the eighth straight game because of a sprained left ankle and point guard Baron Davis was sidelined for the 12th time in 13 games because of a swollen left knee. But the Clippers, coming off a 99-95 victory over New Orleans on Monday that snapped a nine-game losing streak, posted consecutive wins for the first time since a three-game stretch last February. Carl Landry scored 18 points for Sacramento, which has lost nine of their last 10 games after a 3-1 start. It was the fifth time this season that the Kings' high-point man had fewer than 20. Tyreke Evans, who averaged 23.7 points in his three games against the Clippers last season, had just eight points and five assists in 37 minutes. Evans, the 2009-10 rookie of the year, missed his first eight shots and played more than 25 scoreless minutes before getting the benefit of a goaltending call against DeAndre Jordan on a layup with 4:02 left in the third quarter and the Kings trailing 75-59. Two games removed from his 44-point, 15-rebound, seven-assist tour de force against the New York Knicks last Saturday at Staples Center, Griffin once again showed the athletic artistry that no doubt will make the Clippers a more attractive team for the television networks to spotlight than in the past - even if they keep losing. Displaying a pent-up fury that needed to be unleashed after missing all of last season with a knee injury, the former Oklahoma star and first overall pick in the 2009 draft pick shot 7 for 11 from the field. He is averaging 19.3 points and 11.3 rebounds in his first 16 games - including nine double-doubles. The only other players averaging at least 18 points and 11 rebounds are Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard and Kevin Love. The Clippers extended their 54-50 halftime to 69-56 with a 15-6 run capped by Gordon's finger roll with 6:45 left in the third quarter. Reserve forward Craig Smith helped salt it away midway through the fourth with seven points in a 1:33 span, increasing the margin to 97-74. Luther Head had 15 points and a season-high seven assists for the Kings. No Sacramento player had more than five assists in any of the team's previous four games, but Head surpassed that total when he set up a short jumper by rookie DeMarcus Cousins with 3:26 left in the second quarter. Cousins, the fifth overall pick in the draft, had seven points and five rebounds in a foul-plagued 25 minutes. *Courtesy of www.csnbayarea.com
