Al Thornton came off the bench and scored 18 of his game-high 24points in the second quarter as the Clippers coasted to a 99-89victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night.

Thornton scored 14 points during a 24-7 run late in the secondquarter that expanded a six-point lead to 58-35 with 1:02 leftin the first half. The 14th pick of the 2007 draft, Thorntonmade his first eight shots and finished the game 11-of-15 fromthe field.


Golden State, which trailed by as many as 27 points in the thirdquarter, had cut the deficit to nine point, 85-76, with 6:33remaining in the fourth quarter. The Clippers then used a 9-2run to push the lead back up to 16 with 3:51 to play.

Corey Maggette had 18 points and 14 rebounds and Ruben Pattersoncontributed 19 points and 11 rebounds for Los Angeles.

Al Harrington led the Warriors with 17 points and Baron Davishad 14 points and three steals.


Warriors first-round pick Marco Belinelli did not play until thesecond half and missed his first four shots - including anairball - before nailing a 3-pointer with four minutes remainingin the third quarter. The 21-year-old Italy native finishedwith just five points on 2-of-9 shooting.
