 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Elton Brand rejected the notion — rather forcefully — that the Golden State Warriors were going to beat out the Los Angeles Clippers for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Brand tied a career high with eight blocked shots, scored 31 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, leading the Clippers to a 103-90 victory over the Warriors on Saturday.
The Clippers jumped over Golden State into eighth place in the West, a half-game ahead of the Warriors and a half-game behind seventh-place New Orleans. Los Angeles has won 11 of the last 15 meetings and six straight at Staples Center.
