The Los Angeles Clippers (37 - 19) defeated the Phoenix Suns (14 - 43) 124 - 84 at Staples Center on Monday. The Clippers were able to exploit the Suns defensive breakdowns which eventually led to a 40 points blowout win. Los Angeles burst out the gate and opened up a 19 point lead by the end of the first quarter. Phoenix was held under 20 points in both the first third quarters, as every matchup was a mismatch. The Suns shot 35 percent as a whole, and were led in scoring by Archie Goodwin, who came off the bench. Goodwin’s 20 points in 37 minutes were far from enough to soften the deficit. Ronnie Price totaled 12 points, five rebounds and three assists, while Devin Booker pitched in a lowly five points to round out the backcourt. Alex Len started at the center position and added 14 points and eight rebounds, but simply got abused by DeAndre Jordan throughout the matchup. The Clippers strolled to victory behind Chris Paul and his 16 points and 14 assists. Paul almost out assisted the entirety of the Suns (20 - 14), as he showcased supreme ball movement and spacing. JJ Reddick was on the receiving end of many of Paul’s dimes, and he turned the easy looks into 22 points on 7 - of - 14 shooting, including four baskets from behind the arc. DeAndre Jordan dominated the paint and added 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Paul Pierce pitched in 11 points in his starting role. None of the Clippers starters needed more than 27 minutes of game time, as the bench was able to hold the strong lead. Newcomer Jeff Green contributed 18 points, five rebounds and two assists on 6 - of - 10 shooting in 24 minutes off the bench, as he highlighted his ability to create off the dribble. The Clippers will continue their homestand and host the Denver Nuggets (22 - 34) on Wednesday, while the Suns host the Brooklyn Nets (15 - 41) on Thursday.
