Clippers continue road trip in Charlotte
Basketball Betting Lines
02/11/2012 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Clippers continue their lengthy Grammy Road Trip by visiting the Queen City to take on the hapless Charlotte Bobcats.
Chris Paul buried a game-winning shot with 3.2 seconds remaining on Friday as the Clippers improved to 3-1 on their six-game trek with a thrilling 78-77 win in Philadelphia.
A pair of Lou Williams free throws had Philadelphia up, 77-76, with 18 seconds remaining, but Paul hit a twisting, fadeaway jumper near the foul line that proved to be the difference.
Paul finished with a game-high 24, Blake Griffin added 16 and 11 rebounds and Mo Williams scored 14. Former 76er Reggie Evans didn't score, but impacted the contest with 10 rebounds -- five offensive -- in 19 minutes of action.
"One thing I pride myself on is ball handling," said Paul. "I may not make every shot but I feel like I can get any shot that I want because of ball handling. I've always been undersized, so one thing I know is that I can create my own shot."
Los Angeles will finish its trip in Dallas, and is 6-5 as the guest this season as well as a solid 7-2 against the Eastern Conference.
Charlotte, meanwhile, is a miserable 3-23 on the year and enters tonight's contest having matched a franchise record by dropping 13 in a row.
The Bobcats' most recent loss came on Friday when a Derrick Rose-less Chicago team waltzed into Charlotte and destroyed the Bobcats, 95-64. Derrick Brown was the lone Charlotte player to reach double figures in scoring, finishing with 10 as the team matched it's other 13-game skid from Jan. 11-Feb. 1, 2006.
Kemba Walker scored nine points on 2-of-11 shooting from the floor, while Boris Diaw, Bismack Biyombo and Cory Higgins added eight points apiece.
"I don't know what it was. We just weren't in it," said Charlotte head coach Paul Silas.
Bobcats leading scorer Gerald Henderson remains out with a strained hamstring while point guard D.J. Augustin is expected to miss his 10th consecutive game tonight with an injured toe.
The Clippers, of course, are without veteran guard Chauncey Billups, who is out for the season after suffering a torn left Achillies earlier this week.
LA has won two straight and three of its last four over Charlotte.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
