Tyreke Evans had the chance to tie the game with 1.9 seconds on the clock with three free throws, but he missed the last one and the Clippers escaped with the one-point win over the Kings.

The Clippers went up 100-97 on a breakaway dunk by Eric Gordon with only seconds left in the game and then Evans tried tying it with a three at at the buzzer, but was fouled. He sank the first two foul shots, but missed the final one and while his teammates tried to tip it back, they missed the several opportunities and came up short.

Gordon – who ultimately had the game-winning shot – led Los Angeles with 31 points, six rebounds and four assists, while Blake Griffin had his 19th double-double of the season – tying the Clipper record with Michael Cage, who accomplished it in the 1986-1987 season. Griffin finished with 24 points, 14 rebounds and four assists while Baron Davis and Al-Farouq Aminu added 11 points apiece for the Clippers (10-22).

Evans led all scorers with 32 points while Omri Casspi had 16, Beno Udrih 14, Carl Landry 13, and Francisco Garcia scored 12.

Derrick Rose had the chance to tie the game and push it into overtime, but missed the second of two free throws and the Clippers escaped with a 100-99 win.
Rose drove to the basket with the potential game-tying points, the defense swarmed him and he was fouled with no time left. He calmly went to the line and sank the first free throw, but was short on the second – ending the game.

The Bulls (16-9) rallied in the second half after being down eight at halftime. They outscored the Clippers (7-21) by one in the third quarter and six in the fourth, with Rose leading the team with 34 points, six rebounds and eight assists. Carlos Boozer had 25 points for Chicago and Luol Deng scored 17.

Blake Griffin led Los Angeles with yet another double-double (29 points and 12 rebounds), while Baron Davis scored 16, Eric Gordon 15, Craig Smith 13 and Rasual Butler 11.

Its the second consecutive road win for the Clippers after not having one all season.

Derek Fisher’s layup with no time left on the clock won it for the Lakers at Staples Center.

After DeAndre Jordan’s dunk with 15 seconds to go put the Clippers up by one, Kobe Bryant drove for the winning shot with time winding down, but he was fouled with three seconds left. Instead of shooting free throws, the Lakers took the ball out and then got it to Fisher for the game-winning bucket. The shot was so close to the buzzer that the referees had to verify the shot’s validity on the monitors after.

Eric Gordon led the Clippers with 24 points in the game and he added five rebounds and four assists, while Blake Griffin had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Eric Bledsoe scored 11. Jordan – who had the potential game-winning shot for the Clippers – finished with nine points and 11 rebounds.

Kobe Bryant led the Lakers also with 24 points on 9 or 15 shooting, while Shannon Brown scored 16 off the bench and Pau Gasol had 10. Fisher ended the game with only six points – but he had the last two of the game.
