Struggling Bobcats host Clippers

Dec 12, 2007 - 3:17 PM LA Clippers (8-12) at Charlotte (7-12) 7:00 pm EST

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The Charlotte Bobcats and the Los Angeles Clippers both ended extended losing streaks recently. Whether either team can put together a winning streak remains to be seen.

The Bobcats host the Clippers on Wednesday looking for just their second win in the last 10 contests.

Charlotte snapped a seven-game skid Saturday with a 96-93 triumph over the Cleveland Cavaliers. But the Bobcats dropped a 104-85 decision the following day to the Detroit Pistons.

Jason Richardson scored 15 points Sunday to pace Charlotte, which got off to a 6-4 start this season.

Los Angeles also suffered through a seven-game losing streak but has won two of its past three, including a 91-82 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Tuesday. Chris Kaman led the way against the nets with 18 points and 14 rebounds.

The 7-foot Kaman is averaging 13.7 rebounds per game, good for third in the NBA.
