Clippers 114, Bucks 86: Jamal Crawford had 25 points off the bench as visiting Los Angeles trounced Milwaukee.
Crawford followed up his 37-point, 11-assist effort versus Toronto in style, doing all of his damage in just 24 minutes as the Clippers ripped off a 21-2 second-quarter run en route to their 11th win in 14 games. Blake Griffin added 20 points, Darren Collison contributed 15 and DeAndre Jordan grabbed 18 rebounds to go with eight points.
Ersan Ilyasova's 16 points paced the Bucks, who have lost three straight and 20 of their last 23. Khris Middleton added 14 points while John Henson, Caron Butler and Miroslav Raduljica scored 11 apiece.
The Clippers used a free-throw barrage - outscoring Milwaukee 11-1 from the line - to open up a seven-point advantage through one quarter. The Bucks closed within two on Middleton's jumper late in the shot clock with 8:33 remaining in the half, but Los Angeles roared back with its game-changing run highlighted by nine points from Griffin to cruise into the half with a 64-41 lead.
Collison and Matt Barnes knocked down long-range shots to stretch the lead to 27 early in the third quarter, and Griffin added a thunderous transition dunk off a Butler turnover as the Clippers rode an 84-61 lead into the fourth. The reserves took over from there, and Milwaukee didn't threaten the rest of the way.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Bucks were without G O.J. Mayo and C Larry Sanders due to illness, while F Ekpe Udoh missed the game with an ankle injury. ... Griffin came in averaging 26 points over his previous 10 games. ... Milwaukee fell to 1-14 against the Western Conference.
