Eyebrows were raised when Coach Mike Dunleavy praised the performance of struggling center Chris Kaman in the Clippers' 122-110 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday at the Air Canada Centre.

Dunleavy's comments were considered surprising because Kaman missed 10 of 11 shots from the field, scored two points and grabbed seven rebounds in 20 minutes. But Kaman's statistics told only part of the story, Dunleavy said.

"I looked at it as he had a really good game from the standpoint that he made very good decisions," Dunleavy said. "His skill level isn't the issue. He's got the skills.

"His decision making is the issue. We've just got to get him to calm down and get back into his groove."
