The Los Angeles Clippers were determined to come back strong from one of their most lopsided defeats of the season, and they did it with defense. Not having Allen Iverson to deal with certainly helped. Elton Brand had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Cuttino Mobley had 20 points against his hometown team, and the Clippers blocked a season-high 13 shots Friday night in a 99-89 victory over the...

Clippers 99, Rockets 91 (AP)
Winning is no surprise to these Clippers. Sam Cassell scored 24 points to lead the Clippers past the Houston Rockets 99-91 on Monday night, pushing the franchise to 13 games over .500 for the first time since the 1975-76 season -- when it was called the Buffalo Braves. Corey Maggette added 20 points for the Clippers, who, appropriately, were wearing orange and black Braves uniforms from the...
Los Angeles Clippers Notes, Quotes
--Still bothered somewhat by a sore right ankle, Clippers guard Cuttino Mobley came off the bench in Tuesday's game for the first time this season and went scoreless in 16 minutes. Mobley returned after missing two games. He had started the previous 67 games. --The Clippers have failed to shoot at least 40 percent in only five games this season. They are 1-4 in those games, the lone victory coming against New York, when they shot 39.2 percent but held the Knicks to 36.5 percent.

The Hornets had toured some of the neighborhoods flattened by Hurricane Katrina. They saw people living in tents. If an eight-game losing streak hadn't provided enough motivation to play better against the Los Angeles Clipper on Tuesday night, a sense that they had to win at least one game for New Orleans' fans did.

Spurs 98, Clippers 87 (AP)
Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs vividly remembered what Elton Brand did against them three weeks ago. They were not about to let him repeat it. Duncan had 20 points and 13 rebounds, and did a lot of the heavy work in containing Brand on the other end of the floor Tuesday night in leading the Spurs to a 98-87 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Clippers 116, Wizards 101 (AP)
Coach Mike Dunleavy knows the Los Angeles Clippers have an outside shot of breaking the franchise record for victories. He has loftier goals on his agenda, however. So does Elton Brand, whose 32 points and nine rebounds helped the Clippers rout Washington 116-101 on Saturday for their 40th victory of the season.
Clippers 97, Trail Blazers 83 (AP)
Angling for playoff position, the Los Angeles Clippers didn't want to simply beat the Trail Blazers. They wanted a rout. And they got one. Elton Brand scored 30 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to help the Clippers beat Portland 97-83 Sunday night and extend the Blazers' losing streak to eight games. The Clippers, currently holding the fifth playoff spot in the Western Conference, led by as many as 25...
