Blake Griffin had 22 points and 16 rebounds and Eric Gordon's 3-pointer with one minute left gave the Los Angeles Clippers a 94-90 victory over the visiting Toronto Raptors on Saturday night.
Chris Kaman had 17 points and 12 rebounds and Gordon also scored 17 for the Clippers (29-45), who ended a six-game losing streak to the Raptors (20-53).
Ed Davis led Toronto with 21 points and 11 rebounds and Jose Calderon, who strained his left hamstring Friday, scored 16 points.
Toronto has lost 18 of its last 19 road games. The Raptors allowed a franchise-record 84 first-half points in an embarrassing 138-100 loss to Golden State on Friday.
Davis gave Toronto an 88-87 lead with a tip-in with 1:58 remaining. Griffin's slam made it 89-88 15 seconds later and Gordon then sank a 26-footer from the left wing for a 92-88 lead with 1:00 remaining.
DeMar DeRozan's layup with 21 seconds remaining pulled the Raptors to 92-90, before Mo Williams made two free throws for the final margin.
