LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Clippers success isnt just because of Blake Griffins scoring and Chris Pauls playmaking. The dramatic improvement in rebounding has been an integral part as well. Paul had 28 points and 15 assists, Griffin added 25 points, and the Clippers held their own on the glass against one of the NBAs top teams in that department en route to a 112-103 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night. DeAndre Jordan had 12 rebounds for the Pacific Division leaders, who have had at least one player with double-digit rebounds in a franchise-record 46 consecutive games. The previous mark was 44, by the 1977 Buffalo Braves. "Well take it," Jordan said. "But weve got to keep building on it, because that was the knock on us last year. We gave up too many rebounds and too many offensive boards. But now, I feel like were getting better as a team. We cant get out and score the way we can without controlling the glass. Theyre a big team, so we knew we had to be physical early." Andre Drummond had 16 points and 12 boards during an intense matchup of the leagues top two players in rebounding and field goal percentage. Jordan came in leading Drummond in both categories, and is trying to join Wilt Chamberlain and Dwight Howard as the only players in NBA history to finish a season that way. Chamberlain did it eight times, and Howard did it in 2009-10 with Orlando. "Id be in great company, and it would be a great accomplishment for me," Jordan said. "But at the same time, we have a bigger goal. So I just want to continue to play the way that Im playing and build on that." Jordan acknowledged how much he was looking forward to this latest Andre vs. DeAndre showdown — and the next one. "Its not just the fact that were one and two, but anytime theres a young big out there whos playing well and theres going to be competition, I love that," Jordan said. The Clippers, coming off a 110-100 loss at Denver that ended their 11-game overall winning streak, extended their home winning streak to seven. They shot 54 per cent from the field and improved to 24-1 when finishing at 50 per cent or better. "We just knew that we needed to come back in here and try to get another streak started," Paul said. "We didnt want to come out flat, and I think we did all right." Jonas Jerebko tied a career high with 22 points off the bench and had nine rebounds for the Pistons, who have lost five in a row and 13 straight on the road. "Its tough to lose the game and I cant be too happy about it," Jerebko said. "But at least I saw the ball go through the rim a couple of times. It made the game come a lot easier to me." The Pistons have lost the last six meetings with the Clippers, including a 112-103 decision on Jan. 20 at Detroit despite Rodney Stuckeys season-high 29 points. Stuckey had six points in the rematch, making three of eight shots. Danny Grangers four-point play gave the Clippers a 92-81 remaining after Jerebko fouled him with 7:53 remaining. The Pistons got it down to 100-94 with 3:53 left after back-to-back layups by Greg Monroe. But Paul responded with seven points in the final 2:44 to close it out. Los Angeles got 15 points from Paul and 13 by Griffin before intermission. Detroit fell behind by 13 late in the first quarter before taking its first lead, 42-41, on an alley-oop dunk by Drummond that was set up by Will Bynum with 7 minutes left in the second quarter. Jerebko capped the 24-7 run about 2 minutes later with a 16-footer for a 47-43 advantage.
