The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers, 108 - 78, at Staples Center on Saturday evening. The Cavaliers decided to rest their big - three, as LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love all rode the benches, while their team floundered in one of the most lackluster performances of the season. The Cavs actually led 16 - 14 after the first quarter, but the Clippers woke up and dominated the second quarter, to take a 47 - 31 lead into half time. The Clippers shot 51 percent from the field and dished 27 assists, as they cruised to the win, ending a three - game losing streak. Richard Jefferson was the high - point man for Cleveland (45 - 23) with 12 points on 4 - of - 9 shooting, to go along with six rebounds, in 28 minutes off the bench. Six other players scored in double digits for the Cavs, including Channing Frye, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and DeAndre Liggins, who chipped in 10 points each. The Cavs will look to get back on track, and will likely have their stars back in action, as they face the second game of a back - to - back on Sunday in Los Angeles, this time against the Lakers. Meanwhile, Blake Griffin poured in 23 points on 10 - of - 17 shooting, to go along with eight rebounds and four assists, in 31 minutes, to lead the Clippers (41 - 29) to a much - needed win. DeAndre Jordan took care of the paint, gobbling up 17 rebounds, to compliment his 13 points, two assists and one steal, while J.J. Redick shot 6 - of - 11 from the field on his way to 16 points in only 19 minutes. The Clippers will look to build a winning streak, as they play host to the struggling Knicks on Monday.
