The Los Angeles Clippers hope to rediscover their offensive rhythm Saturday against the Toronto Raptors, who have had a long break to regroup from an embarrassing defensive effort.

The Raptors (22-7) have had four days off since playing the first of six consecutive road games. They had a season-high six-game winning streak snapped with Monday's 129-120 loss at Chicago. They scored 110-plus points for the third straight game but were outscored 49-37 in the fourth quarter, letting the Bulls shoot 14 for 20.

"We didn't play defense and they executed extremely well," said Lowry, who scored 34 points. "... We didn't give them any pushback. That's one thing we have to make sure we do from now on."

The 49 points marked the most the Raptors had ever allowed in a single quarter, though they have plenty of opportunities to redeem themselves against top-flight competition on this trip. They'll visit the West's top two teams next week - Portland and Golden State.

Toronto is 7-2 against the West, though four wins were against sub-.500 teams.

"It's going to be a great challenge for us," Lowry told the team's official website. "I think we look forward to it. We started off on the wrong foot (Monday) for our road trip, but we've got a chance to come home and regroup, get a couple days off, come back, go to L.A, and play a tough Clippers team."

The Clippers (20-10) entered a season-high, nine-game homestand having dropped three of four as part of their 3-5 record since Dec. 11 - with no wins over an above-.500 opponent - before defeating league-best Golden State 100-86 on Christmas Day.

"Big win for us. You know we've had a tough season for our standards, we haven't played as well as we liked to," said Chris Paul, who had 22 points. "We started (the game) off horrendous. I think we shot 17 percent in the first quarter, but everybody just kept talking about staying the course, and that's what we did."

Los Angeles missed 16 straight shots in the first quarter and matched its second-lowest field-goal percentage of the season (39.1). Blake Griffin had 18 points and 15 rebounds, shooting 5 for 16 after missing his first eight attempts. Paul had a season-low four assists as the Clippers finished with 18, its fewest at home in six weeks.

Coach Doc Rivers' squad, however, held Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry to 29 points on 11-of-30 shooting and became the first team to keep the Warriors under 90 points. The Clippers had given up 106.1 points per game on 49.9 percent shooting in their previous eight.

"Wow, that was ugly," Rivers said. "... It's nice winning games when you don't play great."

Los Angeles also underwhelmed offensively in its previous game, shooting 40.2 percent in a 107-104 loss at Atlanta on Tuesday.

The Clippers, near the top of the league with a 47.3 field-goal percentage, have rarely been able to rely on their defense. They're 5-8 when shooting 46.3 percent or worse. However, they've held teams to 98.5 points per game at home compared to 103.0 on the road.

Los Angeles has now won eight straight at home, where it hasn't had a longer winning streak since a club-record 13-game run Nov. 28, 2012-Jan. 9, 2013.

"We gotta pile up wins, you know how tough the West is," Paul said of the homestand. "... We got a tough Toronto team coming in here on Saturday. Kyle Lowry's been unbelievable. We gotta be ready to play."

Lowry is among the league leaders with 24.7 points per game on the road, but he's averaged 9.3 on 27.5 percent shooting in the last four matchups with Los Angeles.

The Clippers swept last season's two meetings while shooting 52.9 percent even with Paul missing both. Griffin totaled 66 points while shooting 63.9 percent.
