Clippers beat Wolves, end winless season start

LOS ANGELES (AP)—Chris Kaman had 25 points and 11 rebounds, Eric Gordon hit the go-ahead layup with 1:32 to play, and the Los Angeles Clippers surged in the fourth quarter to their first victory of the season, 93-90 over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.

Gordon scored 17 points and Baron Davis had 13 points and eight assists for the Clippers, who stopped their 0-4 start and snapped a three-game home losing streak to the Timberwolves.

Rasual Butler hit four free throws in the final 19 seconds for Los Angeles, and Corey Brewer badly missed a well-guarded 3-point attempt at the buzzer.

Gordon’s basket in traffic put the Clippers up 88-86, and the clubs traded scores until Ryan Hollins’ dunk with 13.2 seconds left trimmed Los Angeles’ lead to 91-90.
