Clippers Eclipse The Suns, 108-95

LOS ANGELES (AP)  - Austin Rivers scored 21 points, DeAndre Jordan grabbed 20 rebounds and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Phoenix Suns 108-95 on Wednesday night to end a three-game skid.

Back home from a 1-4 road trip, the injury-depleted Clippers had lost seven of 10 before leading all the way against a young Phoenix team that has its own injury woes.

T.J. Warren led Phoenix with 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Josh Jackson added 17 points. The Suns dropped their ninth in a row to the Clippers at Staples Center.

Ahead by 18 points at halftime, the Clippers extended their lead to 25 in the third quarter. They opened with an 18-11 run to go up 71-46, with Rivers scoring nine points.

The Suns answered with a 19-3 spurt to close to 74-64, getting points from five different players.

But the Clippers scored seven of the quarter's final nine points for an 81-66 lead going into the fourth. Willie Reed grabbed Montrezl Harrell's missed free throw and dunked, and Lou Williams followed with a jam. Williams finished with 18 points.

Phoenix made a final stand in the fourth. Down by 22, the Suns used a 14-5 run to get to 98-85. Warren had 14 in the period, but the Clippers got six straight points from Jordan, who finished with 12 points, to put the game away.
