INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) \u2014 De\u2019Aaron Fox scored 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting, and the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> beat the Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> 118-99 on Thursday night without Victor Wembanyama<\/a> in the lineup to win their 11th in a row.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama was rested on the second night of a back-to-back. He had 41 points and 18 rebounds in a 127-113 win at the Golden State Warriors<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Spurs had six players in double figures, including Stephon Castle<\/a> with 20 points and Dylan Harper<\/a> with 19 off the bench.<\/p>\n

San Antonio kept alive its hopes of catching Oklahoma City for the top spot in the West. The Spurs improved to 27-2 since Feb. 1 and 11-5 when Wembanyama doesn\u2019t play. <\/p>\n

Kawhi Leonard<\/a> scored 24 points to lead the Clippers with his 53rd consecutive game of 20 or more points. Bennedict Mathurin<\/a> added 18 points off the bench and John Collins<\/a> had 15. The loss dropped them to the ninth spot for the play-in tournament with their second straight loss after winning five in a row. Portland moved into eighth after a 118-106 win.<\/p>\n

The Spurs led by 26 points in the first half. They shot 72% from the floor early in the second quarter, opening with an 11-2 run and hitting 20 of their first 28 shots.<\/p>\n

The Clippers rallied in the third when they outscored the Spurs 34-19. Mathurin had 10 points and Leonard eight as the Clippers closed with a 14-4 run to trail 87-78 going into the fourth.<\/p>\n

But the Spurs quickly regained the momentum. Castle scored eight of their 10 points in extending the lead to 99-84. <\/p>\n
