(Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Clippers dropped their fifth straight road game on Wednesday, as they found themselves on the wrong end of a 108-90 decision against the defending champion San Antonio Spurs at the SBC Center.

Corey Maggette scored a team-high 21 points for the Clippers, who lost their second straight sixth game in seven chances. Elton Brand and Keyon Dooling both contributed 16 points in the loss.

On the injury front, Quentin Richardson, who left Sunday's game versus Portland with a sprained back, did not play for the Clippers, while Marko Jaric also missed the contest with a toe injury.

Los Angeles has dropped 10 of its last 11 on the road and is 8-24 away from home this season. The Clippers are also just 3-16 on the road versus Western Conference opponents.

The Clippers will return to action on Friday when they wrap up their two-game road trip in Memphis against the Grizzlies at the Pyramid. LA has already lost three times this season and could be at a disadvantage tonight, as the home team in this series has won six of eight and 10 of the last 13 meetings.

LA has also lost three straight and five of their last six on the Grizzlies court.
