LOS ANGELES (AP)\u2014Blake Griffin<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 22 points and 16 rebounds, Chris Kaman<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span>
\nadded 17 points and 12 boards, and the Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> beat Toronto 94-90
\non Saturday night to hand the Raptors their fourth straight loss.<\/p>\n

The Clippers had lost their previous five meetings with the Raptors by an
\naverage of 17.4 points. Eric Gordon<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> who missed his first 11 shots in Friday\u2019s
\n112-104 loss to the Lakers, had 17 points after getting into early foul trouble,
\nand Mo Williams<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> finished with just nine points after scoring a season-high 30
\nagainst the two-time defending champions.<\/p>\n

Ed Davis<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Raptors, who ended a 1-4 road
\ntrip in which they fell behind by more than 40 points to both Denver and Golden
\nState.<\/p>\n

Jose Calderon<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> who sat out the second half of Friday\u2019s 138-100 loss to the
\nWarriors because of a strained left hamstring, was back in the starting lineup
\nagainst the Clippers and scored 16 points in 34 minutes.<\/p>\n

Raptors leading scorer Andrea Bargnani<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> was scratched because of an ankle
\nproblem. In Friday night\u2019s 138-100 loss at Golden State, Bargnani scored just
\nseven points in 27 1-2 minutes after averaging 23.3 over his previous six games.<\/p>\n

The Raptors, who set a franchise record for most points allowed in a half by
\nsurrendering 84 in the first 24 minutes against the Warriors, led the Clippers
\n44-43 at intermission. They went up by as many as 10 with 8:27 remaining before
\nthe Clippers pulled ahead 85-82 with a 15-2 run capped by Kaman\u2019s layup off an
\noffensive rebound with 3:21 left.<\/p>\n

Toronto regained the lead at 88-87 on a layup by Davis with 1:58 to go, but
\nGriffin got it back for good with a dunk, and Gordon hit the Clippers\u2019 first
\n3-pointer of the game with a minute left to put Los Angeles ahead 92-88.
\nWilliams helped sealed the win with a pair of free throws.<\/p>\n

Fourth-year Toronto forward Julian Wright<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> averaging 14.4 minutes in his
\nfirst season with Toronto and upset about his limited playing time, spent the
\nentire game on the bench in uniform after refusing to report into Friday\u2019s game
\nin the third quarter with the Raptors being blown out by the Warriors. He wasn\u2019t
\nsuspended, but did apologize to his teammates.<\/p>\n

DeMar DeRozan<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> who was born in nearby Compton and played his high school
\nball there, started out 0 for 9 from the field and was 3 for 15 overall with
\nseven points in 34 minutes. He finally ended his shooting drought on a 14-footer
\nwith 9:56 to play, extending Toronto\u2019s lead to 77-68.<\/p>\n

This was DeRozan\u2019s first visit to Staples Center since All-Star weekend,
\nwhen the USC alum competed against Griffin in the slam-dunk contest and waited
\ntwo days before publicly expressing his displeasure about Griffin\u2019s dunk over a
\ncar. DeRozan was watching from the bench just a few feet away when Griffin blew
\nan alley-oop dunk attempt on a lob pass from Randy Foye<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> with 3:25 left in the
\nfirst quarter.<\/p>\n

Notes: The Clippers were 0 for 8 on 3-pointers before Gordon\u2019s clutch shot.
\nThe last time they went an entire game without making one was Jan. 15, 2008 (0
\nfor 6). \u2026 Both teams wrapped up their respective schedules against the other
\nconference. Toronto finished 8-22 against the West, and the Clippers were 13-17
\nagainst the East\u2014including a 122-101 victory at Washington on March 12. \u2026
\nToronto entered Saturday as one of six teams allowing 105 or more points per
\ngame. \u2026 The Raptors have lost the second game of a back-to-back set seven of
\nthe last eight times they\u2019ve had one.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
