Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Kaman scored 20 points and the Los Angeles Clippers surged in the fourth quarter to snap an eight-game skid with
a 101-93 win over the Bucks.
Drew Gooden totaled 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Clippers, who stopped
Milwaukee's six-game run and beat the Bucks in Los Angeles for the ninth time
in the last 10 meetings.
"Everybody across the board played with high energy," Clippers coach Kim
Hughes said. "We saved the zone for the second half. We were really tired of
losing. It was the most aggressive game we've had."
Brandon Jennings scored 21 and John Salmons had 20 for the Bucks, who continue
to hold onto the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Andrew
Bogut chipped in 18 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks.
"It was an embarrassment, we didn't come to play," Bucks coach Scott Skiles
said. "Brandon tried to get us in the game, but it wasn't even as close as the
score. They dominated."
The Clippers trailed 74-72 going into the fourth, but then shot 7-of-12 in the
last quarter, while holding the Bucks to 8-of-23. Milwaukee also missed all
seven of its three-point shots over the final 12 minutes.
Jennings scored 16 in the third, a period the Bucks finished on an 18-2 run.
Jennings had 12 of those points.
The Clippers took control right at the start of the fourth, using a 14-2 spurt
from the beginning of the stanza. Travis Outlaw capped it with a pair of free
throws for an 86-76 margin with 6:34 left. The Bucks never got closer than six
the rest of the game.
It was tied at 27 after one quarter, but the Clippers scored 11 straight late
in the second for a 50-40 lead. The score stood at 52-43 at the half.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
