Thornton, Gordon Enjoy All-Star Festivities

Despite the Clippers' poor record, the NBA has not forgotten about Eric Gordon and Al Thornton. Gordon, a rookie from Indiana, and Thornton, a second-year player, both traveled to Phoenix to take part in the NBA's annual Rookie-Sophomore Game. The Sophomores won 122-116, and Gordon finished with 19 points for the Rookies. Thornton scored 10 points for the Sophomores, and had help from last year's rookie-of-the-year Kevin Durant. Durant broke Amare Stoudemire's game-high 36 points from 2004, scoring a record 46 points.
