ONTARIO, Calif. - The Ontario Clippers (12-4), the NBA G League affiliate of the LA Clippers, end a strong Showcase Cup campaign with a loss to the South Bay Lakers (11-4), 131-95, on Thursday night.

All five Clipper starters scored in double figures, led by Xavier Moon's 22 points on seven-of-15 shooting. Nate Darling followed closely with 21 points, knocking down five of his nine three-point attempts.

South Bay was led by Devin Cannady's game-high 26 points. Jay Huff (14 points, 11 rebounds) and LJ Figueroa (12 points, 10 rebounds) each recorded double-doubles in the victory.
