The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 99 - 84 Wednesday at Staples Center. After going through some real struggles following Chris Paul's injury, the Clippers (35 - 21) now enter the All-Star break with plenty of momentum via a four - game winning streak, and Wednesday's victory was the walk - in - the - park the team likely preferred to have before their week off. It ended up being a complete team effort, with 11 total players getting in the scoring column and five different players managing to score in double figures. Blake Griffin led the way with 17 points, nine assists and five rebounds, while J.J. Redick added 15 points of his own. But it was the bench mob that ended up playing a crucial role in the team's victory, accounting for 42 of the team's 99 points Wednesday. Thanks to the four - game win streak, the Clippers now sit a half - game ahead of the Jazz for fourth place in the Western Conference. As for the Hawks (32 - 24), it was the final game of their three - game West-coast road trip, and it resulted in a fairly lackluster effort from the team. While all 13 Atlanta players that saw action got in the scoring column Wednesday, there were no standout performances in the defeat. Dwight Howard recorded a double - double of 11 points and 15 rebounds, while Dennis Schroeder led the way in the scoring column with 15 points to go along with seven assists. But with All-Star Paul Millsap shooting just 3 - of - 12 from the field en route to scoring just eight points, the team never really had a shot. Both teams still enter the break in the top five of their conference standings, with the Clippers resuming Feb. 23 against the Warriors and the Hawks returning to the court Feb 24 against the Heat.
