It feels great.'' The last road win was here in Oakland, 103-99 on Dec. 22. The Clippers have won five consecutive games in Oakland since their last loss here in December 1996. As usual, the Warriors were unable to shake them off. ``I'm choosing my words carefully, because I'm not happy,'' said Warriors coach Gary St. Jean. ``That's the low point since I've been down on the bench, without a doubt. Their big team beat our big team. Their small team beat our small team. They outhustled us. They made a ton of shots, and we deserved what we got.'' The win was well-earned for the Clippers, who won despite seeing the Warriors turn the ball over a season-low six times. Odom scored 14 of his game-high 29 points during a hot-shooting fourth quarter. The Clippers, trailing 78-76 after three quarters, made 12 of their first 15 shots in the final quarter to run up a 105-94 lead with 2:40 to play. They broke an 83-83 tie by scoring seven points in a row, capped by Odom's three-point play with 8:01 remaining, and never looked back. Neither team held a lead of more than four points in the game until that play. Odom hit 10 of 19 shots from the field as the Clippers shot 52.8 percent for the game.
