When you get 2 of the last place teams in the NBA playing each other, it becomes quite boring quickly. Lackluster defense, turnovers galore and poor shooting is what happened between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the home team Los Angeles Clippers. It has been such a disappointing year for the Clippers with all the key injuries they suffered from their stars. Chalk it up in the books as they lose another one with the score ending at 94-86.
The T-Wolves top scorers were Al Jefferson and Craig Smith both with 20 points. Right behind them was Randy Foye with 17 points and Ryan Gomes with 14 points. Minnesota was never behind in the game although it was a very close match throughout the day. The Timberwolves record now moves to 13 wins and 26 losses.

The Phoenix Suns met up with the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday afternoon and took care of business winning failrly easily with a score ending at 109-103 even though they let LA back in it in the fourth quarter. The Clippers have now lost 11 straight games, but this is in part to all the injuries they have suffered this year.
All 5 of the Suns starters were in double figures with Amare Stoudemire as the high man with 26 points. Jason Richardson and Grant Hill both ended with 21 points. The only 2 scorers off the bench was Leandro Barbosa with 10 points and Louis Amundson with 2 points. As a whole the team shot 45% and a horrid 28% from the 3 point line. With this win, the Suns move to a record of 21 wins and 13 losses.
