LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Maurice Taylor scored 23 points and Derek Anderson had seven of his 18 points in the final three minutes as the Los Angeles Clippers snapped a 10-game losing streak Saturday night with a 98-93 victory over New Jersey.

Rookie Lamar Odom added 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Clippers, who are 5-4 against Atlantic Division opponents and 5-28 against the rest of the NBA. Eric Murdock had 16 points, seven rebounds and a career-high 10 assists.

Kerry Kittles scored 24 points for the Nets, who have lost four in a row and six straight on the road. Stephon Marbury, who wasted a career-high 42 points in Thursday night's loss in Vancouver, finished with 23 points after being held to just four during the first 30 minutes of the game.

But it wasn't enough for the heartbreak Nets, who lost each of their previous two games in the final two seconds on shots by Seattle's Chuck Person and Vancouver's Michael Dickerson and are 5-13 in games decided by fewer than six points.

Marbury hit 20-foot jumpers on both ends of a 10-2 spurt at the start of the fourth quarter, helping the Nets turn a three-point deficit into a 76-71 edge _ their biggest of the game _ with 9:08 remaining. The lead changed hands eight times before Taylor's short jumper put the Clippers ahead for good at 90-89 with 1:55 to play.

After a 23-footer by Taylor put the Clippers up by three, Marbury swung an errant pass toward Kittles, which he wrestled out of Anderson's hands before hitting a 19-footer that trimmed the deficit to 94-93 with 22 seconds to go.

But Anderson, coming off a career-high 35-point effort on Thursday night at Dallas, sank both free throws after an intentional foul by Johnny Newman with 16 seconds left.

New Jersey had one more chance for a game-tying 3-pointer, but Odom forced a turnover by Marbury from behind the arc, and Tyrone Nesby clinched it with a slam dunk off Odom's alley-oop pass in the final two seconds.

The Nets capped an 11-0 run with consecutive 3-pointers by Kittles and Scott Burrell and two free throws by Marbury, turning an eight-point deficit into a 64-61 lead with 1:20 left in the third quarter.

Murdock, who came to the Clippers in a trade for Johnny Newman on Sept. 23, made his ninth start of the season and played the entire first half as he paced Los Angeles to a 43-42 lead with 11 points, six rebounds and six assists. His layup with 8:48 left in the second quarter gave the Clippers a 30-25 lead, the largest margin by either team in the first half.

Notes: The Clippers' 10-game losing streak was the 17th double-digit skid in franchise history, and the 13th in Donald Sterling's 19 seasons as owner. Current Nets coach Don Casey agonized through losing streaks of 12, 16 and 14 games as Clippers coach during the 1986-87 campaign alone. ... The Clippers have had five losing streaks under Sterling's ownership that lasted at least 16 games. ... Murdock played a season-high 45 minutes and shot 7-for-11 from the field. Newman, the other half of the trade, had four points in 16 minutes. ... The game was Casey's 200th as an NBA head coach (71-129). ... Keith Van Horn missed eight of his first nine shots, two of which were blocked by Taylor and Michael Olowokandi 65 seconds apart in the first quarter. Kendall Gill missed eight of his nine shots and finished with just two points.
