Clippers wrap up Texas two-step in Houston
Basketball Betting Lines
12/03/2008 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angles Clippers finish a quick two-day swing of
Texas Wednesday when they face the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center.
The Clips lost a tough one in Dallas on Tuesday when Jose Barea's three-
pointer with 50.2 seconds to play lifted the Mavericks to a 100-98 comeback
victory over Los Angeles.
Zach Randolph scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Baron Davis added
22 points for the Clippers, who have lost eight of their last 10 contests.
Al Thornton had 23 points and nine rebounds, while rookie Eric Gordon had 13
points in the loss. Marcus Camby recorded six points and 15 rebounds for Los
Angeles.
"A really disappointing loss for us," said Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy
after the game. "We played so well, but in the fourth quarter we did a
terrible job defensively. We settled for quick, long three-point shots, (and)
they just weren't good shots. That allowed them to get out into the open court
and score easy buckets."
The Clippers remain on the road for two games, against Memphis and Minnesota,
after leaving Houston.
A shorthanded Houston team fell in Denver on Sunday when Chauncey Billups
scored 28 points -- including 24 in the second half -- and dished out 10
assists to lead the Nuggets to a 104-94 victory over the Rockets.
Houston was without Tracy McGrady (sore left knee) and Brent Barry (calf) for
the second consecutive game.
Yao Ming scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Rockets, which had a
four-game road winning streak snapped. Ron Artest posted 13 points and six
blocked shots, while Rafer Alston contributed 16 points and six assists in the
loss. Luther Head, a night after scoring 21 in a win over the Spurs, scored
only three points on 1-of-7 shooting in the loss.
McGrady is expected to be sidelined for three weeks as he rehabilitates his
knee.
The Clippers, who are just 1-5 away from Hollywood this season, have lost
eight of their last 10 games in Houston.
