LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- After recording their first victory in nearly one month, the Los Angeles Clippers will try and make it two straight when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.

Los Angeles snapped a 12-game losing streak on Saturday, posting a 101-92 victory over Milwaukee. Marcus Camby had 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Los Angeles, but the former UMass star suffered a sprained left ankle in the contest.

It was the first win since December 19 for the Clippers, who shot 54.5 percent (42-of-77) in the win.

Minnesota continued its solid play in 2009 on Friday, defeating Phoenix, 105-103. The win pushed the Timberwolves' record to 6-1 in the new calendar year.

Al Jefferson had 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead the way for Minnesota, which lost its previous meeting with Los Angeles, 107-84, on December 6.
