LOS ANGELES -- Forward DeMarcus Cousins had 19 points, 13 rebounds and six assists as the Sacramento Kings snapped the Los Angeles Clippers' 10-game winning streak with a 110-103 victory on Saturday night at Staples Center.

Forward Rudy Gay had 18 points and seven rebounds, and forward Omri Casspi and guard Darren Collison came off the bench to add 17 points apiece for the Kings (17-23). Guards Ben McLemore and Rajon Rondo had 15 and 13 points, respectively. Rando also had 10 assists.

Guard J.J. Redick scored 22 points to lead the Clippers (26-14). Center Cole Aldrich finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds and guard Jamal Crawford had 20 points. Point guard Chris Paul chipped in 15 points and seven assists.

The Clippers, who were again without center DeAndre Jordan (pneumonia) and forward Blake Griffin (partially torn left quad tendon), hadn't lost since falling 100-99 to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Dec. 21.

Crawford's jumper pulled Los Angeles within 100-95 with 3:52 remaining. After the teams exchanged baskets, a steal by forward Paul Pierce led to a reverse layup by Aldrich with 1:26 remaining, cutting the margin to three. But Rondo's jumper 13 seconds later pushed the Kings' cushion back to five.

Two foul shots by Paul with 1:01 left allowed the Clippers to close within three again. However, Los Angeles couldn't convert a Rondo turnover as Pierce's 3-pointer to tie the score was off the mark.

Gay hit one of two free throws with 15.9 seconds left for a four-point Kings lead, but Aldrich's dunk with 13.1 seconds remaining made it a two-point game.

Collison made two foul shots with 11.9 seconds left, and after Rondo stole Pierce's inbounds pass, he added two foul shots to seal the win.

The Kings used a 13-0 surge to rally from a six-point deficit for a 54-47 advantage after a three-point play by Collison with 3:13 left in the second quarter. Collison scored 12 of his 13 first-half points in the second quarter as Sacramento led 64-60 at the break.
