LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Michael Dickerson scored a career-high 40 points and the Vancouver Grizzlies set a club record with their seventh road victory, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 112-90 on Thursday night.

Shareef Abdur-Rahim scored 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter for the Grizzlies, who matched their best offensive output of the season and won for the fourth time in 14 games despite the absence of Mark West with stomach flu and Cherokee Parks because of a bruised right knee.

The loss was the sixth straight and 20th in 22 games for the Clippers, who were able to dress only eight players because of injuries to Tyrone Nesby, Eric Murdock, Brian Skinner and leading scorer Maurice Taylor. Derek Anderson led Los Angeles with 29 points.

Dickerson's 3-pointer ignited a 13-4 run that increased Vancouver's 10-point lead to 71-52 with 3:10 left in the third quarter.

The Clippers got no closer than 13 points in the fourth quarter.

Dickerson, obtained from Houston in the trade sent rookie Steve Francis to the Rockets, scored 24 points on 10-for-14 shooting in the first half to help Vancouver take a 51-39 lead.

Dickerson's previous high was 31 last season against Minnesota. Bryant Reeves set the club record of 41 in 1998 against Boston.

Notes: Maurice Taylor didn't dress after spraining his right hand at Portland. It was the ninth game he has missed this season. ... The Grizzlies ended a 15-game road losing streak against Pacific Division opponents, dating to last season. ... Vancouver was the third last-place team the Clippers have played in their last four home games _ losing to each. ... Vancouver has scored at least 100 points in each of their last seven victories, and fewer than 100 in each of their last 16 losses.
