PHOENIX (AP) - Mirza Teletovic scored 22 points to lead seven Phoenix players in double figures and the Suns finished their second-worst season in franchise history Wednesday night with a 114-105 victory over a Los Angeles team made up almost entirely of Clippers bench players.

The loss snapped the Clippers' six-game winning streak. Still, they won 10 of 12 games heading into their first-round playoff series against Portland.

With the No. 4 spot in the West already assured, Los Angeles left Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford home.

Alan Williams, who grew up in Phoenix and wasn't drafted out of Santa Clara last year, added 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Suns in his 10th NBA game.

Wesley Johnson and C.J. Wilcox scored 19 apiece for the Clippers.
