MEMPHIS, Tennessee (Ticker) -- Chris Kaman continued his newand improved ways.


Kaman scored 23 points and grabbed 16 rebounds as the LosAngeles Clippers posted a 98-91 victory over the strugglingMemphis Grizzlies on Friday.


Corey Maggette also scored 23 points and Cuttino Mobley scored17 for Los Angeles, which has alternated wins and losses in itslast four games following a seven-game losing streak.

Kaman has done yeoman's work without frontcourt partner EltonBrand, who continues to be out with an Achilles injury sufferedover the summer.


"I'm glad we got in here and got a win, our guys played hard,"Kaman said.


In his fifth season out of Central Michigan, the 7-foot,265-pound center had posted career highs of 18.4 points and 13.7rebounds entering Friday's contest, besting his previous highsof 12.0 and 9.6 from two years ago.


"(Kaman) has been our anchor," Clippers coach Mike Dunleavysaid. "Every night, teams are throwing double- and triple-teamsat him, and he's learning to deal with them. He"s moving theball better and creating open shots for guys. He's been realpositive for us."


He was also a decisive part of the victory over the Grizzlies onFriday.


With the Clippers leading by two points at the start of thefinal quarter, Kaman, who shot 9-of-16 from the floor, scoredsix of Los Angeles' first 10 points in the fourth to help giveit a 76-70 advantage with 6:39 left.


"It's been a challenge handling the added attention fromopponents," Kaman said. "Every game I get something different,but I'm starting to adjust. Tonight, I felt like the Grizzlieslet off a little bit in the second half, so I started to go atthem."


Los Angeles was also successful on the defensive end, causingMemphis to turn the ball over 25 times.


"We did a great job defensively as a team tonight," Maggettesaid. "We were able to trap the ball and get it out of thehands of guys who normally make those shots."


"We were just trying to do too much, whether you call itcareless or forcing it in there," Grizzlies coach Marc Iavaronisaid. "We are throwing some really strange passes. That fallson the guys who are in leadership positions with the ball."

Kaman, who had his 18th double-double and ninth game of 20 ormore points, nailed two free throws with 69 seconds remaining toup the Clippers' margin to 89-84. Maggette hit a pair of freethrows with 20 ticks on the clock to ice the game.

Mike Miller scored 23 points and Hakim Warrick scored aseason-high 20 for Memphis, which has dropped a season-worst sixin a row.


"There are a lot of inconsistencies, that's why we have thelosses," Warrick said. "We have to become more consistent."
