MILWAUKEE (AP) – Chris Kaman and Elton Brand scored 22 points apiece to lead the Los Angeles Clippers over the Milwaukee Bucks 106-98 Saturday night.

Sam Cassell, in his return to Milwaukee, added 20 points for the Clippers, who used a late 11-2 run to take control.

Michael Redd led the Bucks with 31 points, but he was 1-of-8 from the field in the fourth quarter.

Milwaukee lost for the eighth time in 11 games. The Bucks have lost five straight home games for the first time since losing seven in a row in February 2000.

Reserve Charlie Bell added 15 points for Milwaukee, and Jamaal Magloire had 13 points and 10 rebounds.

Kaman had eight rebounds before fouling out with 1:22 remaining. His point total was three shy of his season and career highs.

Kaman had just four points in 22 minutes in the teams’ last meeting, a 109-85 Clippers victory on Nov. 15.

Los Angeles was in control early, racing to a 10-2 lead and later 20-10 as Cassell scored 10 points in the first period.

An 18-4 run to end the first quarter and start the second quarter helped the Clippers to a 57-45 halftime lead. Brand nailed a 28-footer at the buzzer for his first career 3-pointer.

Milwaukee responded in the third quarter, with Redd scoring seven straight points to cut the Clippers’ lead to 74-72.

Redd had 11 points in the period en route to his 14th 30-point game this season, his third in March.

The Bucks tied it for the first time at 78 with a 10-footer by Redd, but Kaman scored a short turnaround jumper to put Los Angeles back on top.

Milwaukee took its first lead at 82-80 on a three-point play by Bell. The Bucks had their last lead at 86-85 with more than 6 minutes left before the Clippers’ decisive run.
