NBA: Jamal Crawford and Blake Griffin lead LA Clippers to win over Toronto
Blake Griffin: Scored 30 points in Clippers win
Jamal Crawford and Blake Griffin combined to propel the Los Angeles Clippers to a 126-118 victory over Toronto.
Crawford scored a season-high 37 points and dished out 11 assists, while Griffin added 30 points to upstage a superb performance from Terrence Ross.
The Raptors star equalled a club record with a 51-point haul, which included 10 three-pointers from 17 attempts.
But Ross missed the chance to surpass Vince Carter's 2000 record when he missed a free-throw with just four seconds remaining.
Elsewhere in the NBA, Kevin Durant scored 30-plus points for the 10th game in a row as Oklahoma clinched a 103-91 win over Philadelphia.
The NBA's scoring leader collected 32 points for the Thunder and completed his second triple-double of the season with 14 rebounds and 10 assists.
Durant, who sat out Friday's win in Boston with a shoulder injury, became only the sixth player since 1990 to score more than 30 points in 10 straight games.
James Anderson led the Sixers with 19 points, but it was not enough to prevent the Thunder claiming their seventh straight victory as they consolidated top place in the Western Conference.
DJ Augustin returned to haunt his former team as he scored 28 points to lead Chicago to a thrilling 89-87 victory in Charlotte.
Augustin, selected by the Bobcats in the first round of the 2008 draft, poured in 15 points in the final quarter and finished the game with six three-pointers.
