Blake Griffin had 32 points, 11 rebounds and six assists as the Los Angeles Clippers earned their ninth consecutive home win with a 105-98 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night.
The home winning streak is the longest by the Clippers (19-28) since moving to Los Angeles in 1984. The franchise mark is 11, set in February-March 1979 when they were in San Diego.
Trailing 71-64 with four minutes left in the third quarter, the Clippers went on a 13-2 run to end the period sparked by six points from Ryan Gomes.
The teams jockeyed early in the fourth quarter before the Clippers went on a 11-0 burst - most of it with Griffin on the bench - for a 94-84 lead.
Milwaukee (19-27) closed to 96-92 on Carlos Delfino's short turnaround jumper, but Randy Foye nailed a 3-pointer for a 99-92 lead with 42 seconds remaining.
Milwaukee's Ersan Ilyasova scored nine of his 15 points in the third quarter and made 7-of-8 shots but fouled out midway through the final period.
Foye scored 20 points, Baron Davis added 18 and seven assists and DeAndre Jordan had 16 and seven rebounds for the Clippers.
Former Clipper Corey Maggette scored 25 points and Andrew Bogut added 14 and 11 rebounds for the Bucks, who began a three-game trip against Pacific Division clubs.
