Pacers-Clippers Preview

The Indiana Pacers' only highlight in nearly three weeks is a victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

For the Clippers, that defeat represents one of their few recent stumbles.

The Pacers will try to avoid a season-high fifth consecutive loss by winning their third straight over the Clippers on Saturday night. Los Angeles, meanwhile, is attempting to bounce back from a disappointing loss with its fifth win in seven games.

An 86-73 home victory over the Clippers on Nov. 25 remains Indiana's lone win in nine games since Nov. 18. The Pacers (6-11) have also dropped all five road contests in that span, and need to win this contest to avoid a winless four-game road trip.

Indiana limited Los Angeles to season lows for points and field-goal percentage (32.2) last month, but has allowed an average of 106.7 points in the last nine games and 111.3 during its four-game losing streak.

The Pacers avoided giving up 100 points for the eighth time in nine contests Friday night, but fell 96-87 defeat to Utah.

The Jazz opened the game on a 22-3 run, but Indiana rallied to within four midway through the fourth quarter. The Pacers then went cold again, scoring nine points over the final 8:35.

"Our guys played with a tremendous amount of force when they got down," coach Jim O'Brien said. "They competed and they put themselves in position to win, but we missed way too many foul shots."

The Clippers have lost only twice since Nov. 20 but one of those defeats came Wednesday, 102-85 at home against Houston. Los Angeles (8-11) gave up 100 points for the first time in six games and shot 1 of 14 from 3-point range as its three-game home win streak was snapped.

"I'm disappointed by our mental and physical toughness," coach Mike Dunleavy said. "When the ball is not going in the hole for us, that's when we need to become more focused and more determined defensively. We got outrebounded by 14 in the second half, and that just shows they were tougher than we were."

Indiana should finally have leading scorer Danny Granger in the lineup against the Clippers. Granger, averaging 25.2 points per game, has missed the last three matchups between these teams. A sprained left knee ligament kept him out of the Nov. 25 victory.

He's scored 20 points in five straight games overall - including 26 on Friday night - but has averaged only 10.0 on 34.8 percent shooting in four career starts against the Clippers.

In his absence in last month's matchup, Troy Murphy scored 10 of his season-high 18 points in the fourth quarter and grabbed 11 rebounds.

Clippers guard Baron Davis matched a season high with 25 points against the Pacers, and he's averaged 21.0 on 50.8 percent shooting in his last four games.

Davis is also averaging 23.6 points in his last five meetings with the Pacers.

The Clippers might need to play without Eric Gordon, who missed Wednesday's game due to a strained left hamstring.

Dunleavy, whose son Mike Jr. plays for the Pacers, will coach his 1,300th regular-season game Saturday, tying fellow former New York coach Red Holzman for 16th on the NBA's all-time list.

Clips put five starters in double figures in win over Pacers

LOS ANGELES (NBA.com exclusive) -- No need to store this for replay.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Indiana Pacers met Saturday night at Staples Center, looking to shed the memory of some recent performances.

Though neither team was able to lift their level of play, at least somebody went home satisfied.

Turns out it was the Clippers, who overcame a season-high 21 turnovers and shot a meager 34.9 percent from the floor in the 88-72 victory.

As for Indiana, the Pacers also committed 21 turnovers, shot 37.5 percent from the floor, produced a season-low point total and lost for the ninth time in their last 10 games. Their only victory in that span came against the visiting Clippers on Nov. 25.

The Clippers (9-11) bounced back from a disappointing loss Wednesday against the visiting Houston Rockets and won for the fifth time in their last seven games. They can credit their rebounding edge for the victory, punctuated by another solid effort by Marcus Camby.

After averaging 14.4 rebounds over the previous five games, Camby grabbed another 17 against the Pacers, helping the Clippers to a 67-43 edge on the glass, including 19-4 on the offensive end. Both the offensive rebounds and total rebounds were season highs for the Clippers.

"I thought defensively we were pretty good, and on the glass that was a big difference," said Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy. "We had 19 offensive rebounds, which kept balls alive for us."

Camby also scored 12 points, handed out a team-high six assists and blocked a team-leading three shots.

All five Clipper starters scored in double figures, led by Al Thornton with 19 points. Chris Kaman scored 14 of his 16 points in the first half, but shot less than 50 percent from the floor for the ninth time in the last 10 games. Baron Davis had 12 points and Eric Gordon 10.

Gordon, a native of Indianapolis, was back in the starting lineup after missing the Houston game with a strained hamstring. However, he struggled for the second time this season against Indiana, shooting 3-for-10 from the field and committing five turnovers.

When the Clippers last played the Pacers, Gordon had just returned from an eight-game absence due to a groin injury. He scored a season-low six points in that game on 2-for-7 shooting.

Dunleavy said Gordon contributed in other ways.

"He had an impact on the game defensively," Dunleavy said. "As far as stops, deflections, hands on the ball, pushing the ball up the floor, making plays to the other guys, and the fact you have to guard him -- it helps spread the court."

The Pacers (6-12) are facing their own injury concerns after leading scorer Danny Granger hobbled off the court in the opening minute of the second half with a bruised right heel. He did not return. Granger had missed the victory against the Clippers last month because of a sprained MCL in his left knee. Since then, he led the Pacers in scoring every game.

Granger, who came into the game seventh in the league in scoring at 25.2 points, finished with 11 points.

"He was not playing well tonight," Kaman said of Granger. "He is a great player and does a great job for them, but we did a good job defensively. He was missing shots and then he got injured."

Fellow front-court starter Troy Murphy scored a team-high 13 points for Indiana. Roy Hibbert, who went scoreless for the first time this season in Friday night's loss to Utah, bounced back with 12 points off the bench, his first game in double digits in the last nine.

The Clippers had 12 turnovers in the first 16 minutes, but managed to hold a two-point lead at the half. Thornton scored seven points in the third quarter to help Los Angeles stretch its lead to seven entering the fourth, and Davis then sank a pair of jumpers to beat the shot clock and prevent the Pacers from making a serious run.

"The first half was a nightmare," Dunleavy said. "Only six turnovers in the second half was a good number for us."
