Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Chris Paul poured in 33 points but was also injured Saturday in the Los Angeles Clippers' 102-94 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Paul, obtained by the Clippers in a blockbuster deal with New Orleans before the season, sustained a possible hamstring strain after connecting on a jump shot late the game.
Blake Griffin contributed 22 points and 14 rebounds, while Chauncey Billups added 19 points in the first game between the two Los Angeles teams since the Clippers built themselves into a contender with the Paul deal and other off-season moves.
Paul ended up with the Clippers after NBA Commissioner David Stern blocked a trade that would have sent the high-scoring guard to the Lakers.
Kobe Bryant logged his fourth-straight contest with at least 40 points, netting 42, but it wasn't enough to keep the Lakers' five-game winning streak alive.
Andrew Bynum added 12 points and 16 rebounds, and Pau Gasol contributed 14 and 10 in the loss.
