OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Erick Dampier had 16 points and a career-high 25 rebounds to lead Golden State to its seventh straight win.

The seven-game winning streak is the Warriors longest since April 1994, when they won eight in a row.

Jason Richardson scored 20 points and rookie guard Mickael Pietrus added 17 as the Warriors handed the Clippers their eighth straight loss.

Dampier had his sixth game with at least 20 rebounds this season and the 25 boards were the most in a non-overtime game in the NBA so far this year.

Corey Maggette led Los Angeles with 21 points.

Lakers 91, Jazz 84

LOS ANGELES (AP) Karl Malone, playing against his former team for the first time, had 19 points and 13 rebounds to help the Los Angeles Lakers beat Utah for their eighth straight victory.

Playing his ninth game since being sidelined nearly three months with a torn knee ligament _ the first serious injury of his 19-year NBA career _ Malone shot 5-of-10 and 9-of-12 from the foul line.

Kobe Bryant scored 10 of his 34 points in the last two minutes; Gary Payton added 17 points, and Shaquille O'Neal had 11 points and 14 rebounds for the Lakers, who have an NBA-best 19-4 record since the All-Star break and trail Western Conference-leading Sacramento by two games with nine remaining.

Raja Bell scored 16 of his career-high 26 points in the fourth quarter for the Jazz (38-36), who lost for just the third time in 10 games.
