MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – Hassan Whiteside had a career game against the Clippers on Sunday. His 23 points and 16 rebounds – both new highs for the young player – helped the Miami Heat beat Los Angeles 104-90 to end a three-game road skid.
Chris Bosh scored 34 points and Dwyane Wade added 17 points on 5-of-15 shooting and had 10 assists.
The Clippers had no answer for the 7-foot Whiteside in his third year out of Marshall. His offensive display ran the gamut from tip-ins to dunks to jumpers. About the only thing Whiteside didn't do was try a 3-pointer. He was 10 of 13 from the field and 3 of 4 from the line in 28 minutes.
Blake Griffin scored 26 points and Chris Paul had 23 points and nine assists for the Clippers. They had won two straight and six of their previous eight.
Paul, Matt Barnes, DeAndre Jordan and Jamal Crawford were whistled for technical fouls and the team spent much of the game barking at the referees.
