LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Rookie Al Thornton looks to have amajor role with his club this year.


Thornton scored 23 points as the Los Angeles Clippers posted a110-103 preseason victory over the Phoenix Suns Saturday night.

Corey Maggette scored 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds andDan Dickau scored 13 points for the Clippers, who improved theirrecord to 2-3 in exhibition play.


The win was payback for a 118-97 defeat the Clippers suffered tothe Suns on Friday.


Thornton, who was selected 14th overall in the draft, came offthe bench to score 16 points in the first half. The 6-8,220-pound forward will have to give the Clippers solid minutesearly on until Elton Brand recovers fully from an achillesinjury that he sustained over the summer.


The rookie out of Florida State, Thornton connected on 8-of-14from the floor, helped the Clippers take the lead late in thefirst quarter and stretch the bulge to 16 points at the half.

The Clippers shot 50 percent (37-of-74) while holding the Sunsto 41 percent (35-of-86).


Grant Hill scored 17 points and Leandro Barbosa added 16 off thebench for Phoenix, which outscored the Clippers, 28-17, in thefinal quarter to make it close at the finish.
