Robinson bounced back from his All-Star snub to score 21 points as the Phoenix Suns beat the visiting Clippers 114-68 on Wednesday night for their most lopsided win in nearly 11 years. ``At this point my thinking is I'm not playing, so we'll just go from there,'' said Robinson, who was 8 of 15 from the floor and added four assists.
