 LOS ANGELES (AP) - When he wasn't scoring, Elton Brand was making it difficult for the New York Knicks to put points on the board. Brand had 32 points and tied his career high with eight blocked shots, leading the Los Angeles Clippers to a 90-80 victory over the Knicks on Sunday.
"Our defense is what we prided ourselves in last year, and that's what kept us in ballgames," Brand said. "So we've got to be out there blocking shots, deflecting balls and rebounding. That's how we win."
The Knicks never led in their fifth straight road loss. They shot 29.5 percent in the first half, 34.5 percent for the game, and had 16 shots blocked by the aggressive Clippers.
