The Los Angeles Clippers travel to Washington to meet the Wizards tonight. The live stream NBA 2013 game can be watched online free from Washington at 7:00 PM ET on CSNB.

The Clippers (15-9) are 3-3 on their road trip after a 102-93 loss in Brooklyn on Thursday dropped them to 5-6 against the East. Meanwhile, they're a strong 10-3 against the West, which boasts nine other teams sitting at .500 or better compared to just three for the East.

Los Angeles is averaging 108.2 points against conference foes, 10.7 fewer than it averages against East clubs.

Those struggles continued in Thursday's setback with the Clippers shooting only 37.1 percent from the field and recording a season-low 15 assists. Chris Paul scored 20 points but matched a career low with two assists.

"We didn't have a lot of movement. We were out of our offense almost the whole night," coach Doc Rivers told the team's website. "We did a lot of dribbling. We just have to run our normal offense. Not the one we ran tonight. Clearly, we've got to make open shots and we had a lot of those, but I still didn't like our movement."

Blake Griffin had 12 points and 11 rebounds but was just 2 of 8 from the field as he played on a sore ankle. Injuries kept both him and Paul out of a 98-90 loss at Washington Feb. 4, which ended an eight-game winning streak in the series. Griffin is averaging 24.0 points and 11.8 rebounds in five career games versus Washington.

The Wizards (9-12) are trying to avoid what would match a season-long losing streak after dropping three in a row. Two have been in overtime, including Friday's 101-99 defeat in Atlanta.

Trevor Booker recorded season highs with 24 points and 14 rebounds and Washington came back from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit but Al Horford hit the game-winning jumper as time expired in the extra period.

"I'll give them credit for staying in the fight and having an opportunity to win the game," said coach Randy Wittman, whose team is 2-4 in overtime. "But when you don't play for 42 minutes, you've got to play perfect basketball. ... I just don't think we were ready to play."

John Wall shot 6 of 22, not coming alive until the fourth quarter when he tallied 11 of his 13 points. He had been averaging 23.0 points and 10.3 assists over his previous four games.

Washington's bench was much better than when it scored a season-low five in Monday's loss to Denver, finishing with 25, though it was 10 of 30 from the field.

The Wizards are 4-1 on the second night of back-to-backs.
