Chris Kaman and Tim Thomas both scored 18 points, and Kaman grabbed 14 rebounds to lead the Clippers past the Nets 91-82 on Tuesday night for their first win in New Jersey in nearly 10 years.
The Nets have lost eight of their last nine games at home and couldn't beat a Clippers' team missing its star (Elton Brand) and its most experienced guard (Sam Cassell).
"This is a veteran ballclub, and we've just got to stay together," Nets' point guard Jason Kidd said when asked if it was time for drastic measures. "Fits have already been thrown. We're trying to find a way, trying to find anything to get us going in the right direction."
