The Clippers held New Orleans to an NBA record-low 16 points in the second half en route to an 89-67 victory Wednesday night.

The Hornets made only one field goal over the final 20 minutes and were outscored 25-0 during one stretch.

The previous NBA record of 19 points in a half was shared by the Clippers (against the Lakers), the Miami Heat (against Orlando) -- and the Hornets, against the New York Knicks on November 11, 2000.

"Having an all-time record under our belts says a lot about this team," Brand said. "We pride ourselves on defense and boxing out. That's what Coach harps on. We watch film on it, trying to improve on it every game."
