LAKERS-CLIPPERS REPORT

Clipper guard James Collins sat out Thursday’s game because of the death of an aunt in Jacksonville, Fla.

After tonight’s game at the Sports Arena against Toronto, the Clippers leave on a three-game trip.

In their only other game against the Raptors this season, the Clippers lost, 109-101, at SkyDome. But at least the Clippers don’t have to worry about Damon Stoudamire, who was the leading scorer in that game with 36 points. He was traded to Portland on Feb. 13. Former Laker Doug Christie is leading the Raptors with a 15.5 scoring average.
