GAME FLOW
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) _ Troy Hudson's three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter sparked the Los Angeles Clippers to a 104-94 victory Friday night over the injury-riddled Vancouver Grizzlies, who lost their fifth straight exhibition game. Derek Anderson scored 23 points and rookie Lamar Odom had 19 for the Clippers (3-2), who played their fifth straight road game. Hudson, a reserve, finished with 12 points and six assists in a game featuring the two worst teams in the NBA last season. Shareef Abdur-Rahim scored 24 points for the Grizzlies (0-5), who along with the New York Knicks, are one of only two teams to have yet to win an exhibition game. Vancouver center Bryant Reeves, back after missing one game with a bruised knee, had 10 points and 12 rebounds. Michael Dickerson, entering the game shooting 31 percent from the field, had a breakout performance for the Grizzlies. After going 0-for-6 in the first half, Dickerson went 6-for-8 for 15 points in the second half. Hudson tied the game 76-76 with a 3-pointer with 10:11 remaining in the fourth. Two minutes later, and with the Clipppers up 80-79, Hudson hit consecutive 3-pointers to give Los Angeles an 86-79 edge and spark a 10-2 run. The Grizzlies didn't get five after that. The Grizzlies have been the walking wounded ever since they broke camp two weeks ago. The injured include Antoine Carr (right knee), Othella Harrington (bruised right ankle bone), Grant Long (concussion), Dennis Scott (right hamstring) and Doug West, who was just cleared to practice after surgery on his toe. Clippers guard Eric Murdoch, coming off a sprained ankle, made his exhibition debut, finishing with 10 points and one assist in 24 minutes.
