LOS ANGELES — For the first 47Z\x minutes, Rajon Rondo was quicker, sharper and smoother than Baron Davis.

In the final seconds, the Boston youngster just couldn't match the bearded one's California cool.

Davis hit a long fallaway jumper at the buzzer after Rondo missed two free throws 1.5 seconds earlier, and the Los Angeles Clippers dramatically snapped the Celtics' nine-game road winning streak with a 92-90 victory on Sunday night.

Davis had 24 points and 13 assists for the Clippers, whose three-game losing streak ended when Davis took an inbounds pass with a second left, pivoted and hopped backward for a perfect 22-footer while drawing a little contact from Rondo, giving Los Angeles its only lead of the second half.

Davis knows drama, as he proved during his thrill-filled tenure with the Golden State Warriors before joining the Clippers last season.

"I'm used to taking them and making them," Davis said with a shrug. "I've been in that situation before. Every time I get in that situation, I feel like I can make that shot. You've just got to prepare your mind for it when you go out there to take that shot."

On the verge of a fourth straight loss that would have dropped them a season-worst six games below .500, the Clippers erased an 11-point deficit against the team with the NBA's second-best record and just one loss in its previous 15 games. Los Angeles tied it when Rasual Butler hit a 3-pointer off a drive-and-dish pass from Davis with 8.5 seconds left.
