They extended their
franchise-record winning streak to 17 games with a 107-96 victory over the Utah
Jazz on Sunday night.
Caron Butler scored 29 points for Los Angeles, with
Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford contributing 19 points apiece at Staples Center
as the Clippers moved to 16-0 for December.
This meant that they joined the 1995-96 San Antonio
Spurs and 1971-72 Lakers as the only teams to record a perfect month.
Al Jefferson poured in a game-high 30 points
however; this could not prevent Utah from slipping to a third loss in a row.
Meanwhile, San Antonio were another team to
continue their good form, stretching their winning run to five games with a
111-86 victory over Dallas at the American Airlines Center.
Tony Parker scored 21 points, Manu Ginobili 20 and
Tim Duncan 18 as the Spurs sentenced the Mavericks to a sixth consecutive
defeat.
Elsewhere, Detroit blew a 14-point lead before
edging past Milwaukee 96-94.
Finally, Isaiah Thomas' 27 points elevated the
Sacramento Kings to a 118-96 triumph over Boston and sent the Celtics tumbling
to a third straight loss.
