LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Shawn Kemp scored 22 points and Danny Ferry added 10 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Los Angeles Clippers 109-99 on Saturday.

Wesley Person and ex-Clipper Lamond Murray each scored 18 points for the Cavaliers, who won their ninth straight over the Clippers.

Rookie point guard Andre Miller had 15 points and seven assists.

After losing 11 consecutive road games, the Cavaliers have won two in a row away from home.

Rookie Lamar Odom scored 17 points for the Clippers, who have lost 29 of 32.

Maurice Taylor, the Clippers' scoring leader, picked up three fouls in the first 3 1/2 minutes and sat out the rest of the half. He finished with 13 points in 27 minutes. Los Angeles' Troy Hudson sat out because of a stomach virus and Odom was hampered by a sore right shoulder.

The Clippers cut an eight-point deficit to 88-87 with 7:37 remaining on Odom's layup. The Cavaliers scored the next five points _ including a free throw by Ferry after a technical foul against Odom _ and the Clippers went more than four minutes without a basket.

The Cavaliers put it away in the final minute on two free throws by Ferry after Tyrone Nesby was hit with two technical fouls and ejected.

Murray, 0-for-4 from the field in the first half, made four of his first five shots in the second half and Bob Sura hit a 21-foot fadeaway jumper from the top of the key to put Cleveland ahead for good at 75-73 with 3:41 left in the third quarter.

Notes: Cavaliers forward Danny Ferry, a former Clippers first-round draft pick who still is booed in Los Angeles some 10 years after ditching them to play in Italy, is 23 games away from Bingo Smith's team career record of 720. ... The Cavaliers have had seven winning seasons and gone to the playoffs six times since obtaining Ferry's NBA rights from the Clippers in 1989.
