The Clippers on Saturday night trailed an improving Milwaukee Bucks team by four points (99-95) after a 3-point basket by former Clippers forward Jared Dudley with 4:26 to play in a game eventually won 106-102 by the Clippers. Until those last four-plus minutes, the Bucks seemed destined to win the game. That eight-point turnaround during winning time impressed Blake Griffin.

“Even coming out and playing the way we did, we felt like we did not play that well tonight,” said Griffin, who scored 24 points. “These games are all about coming out with a ‘W’, especially coming off a tough loss last night (Friday at Denver) and traveling (back to Los Angeles).

“Now we are about to go out on the road, so we will take it (the win). But I loved the fight that we had tonight coming down the stretch.”

The Clippers (19-8) play Monday night at 5:30 at San Antonio (17-11). They play Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. at Atlanta (19-7).
