LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27 (Ticker) -- Making their final push to earn a roster spot with the Los Angeles Clippers, Boniface N'Dong and Yuta Tabuse left a lasting impression.

N'Dong scored 12 points and Tabuse added eight in the fourth quarter as the Clippers closed out their preseason with a 94-92 triumph over the Seattle SuperSonics.

A 28-year-old native of Senegal, N'Dong made 5-of-12 shots and 2-of-3 free throws in 23 minutes. The 7-footer added three rebounds, two assists and a steal.

N'Dong's main competition for the Clippers' roster spot, Tabuse was just as impressive. The Japanese point guard scored all eight of his points in the first 5 1/2 minutes of the fourth quarter and added three assists, two rebounds and a steal in 16 minutes.

Elton Brand led Los Angeles with 14 points and six rebounds in 22 minutes and Chris Kaman, who had missed the last three games with a bruised left hand, added 13 points.

The Clippers, who finished the preseason with a 6-2 record, open the regular season Wednesday at Seattle.

Rashard Lewis' 25 points paced the Sonics. Fellow All-Star Ray Allen added 19 for Seattle, which shot 43 percent (31-of-72) and committed 20 turnovers.
