Clippers' Brandon Bass: Scores 15 off bench Thursday

Bass went for 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, one steal and one block over 24 minutes in Thursday's 129-114 loss to the Nuggets.

After being out of the rotation over the last three games -- and in five of the last seven overall -- Bass received plenty of run with the Clippers' starting frontcourt of DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin sitting for rest. The 12-year veteran responded with his second-highest scoring total of the season in what equaled his largest allotment of minutes on the campaign, but he's likely to go right back to a reduced or non-existent role as soon as Saturday night's tilt versus the Cavaliers.
