The Clippers (13 - 9) pulled away in the second half to defeat the Bucks (9 - 14) 109 - 95 at BMO Harris Bradley Center on Wednesday. The Clippers won their third straight game on the back of J.J. Redick's season - high 31 points. Redick shot a blistering 11 - of - 18 from the field to pair with 6 - of - 9 shooting from downtown. He had been dealing with a rib injury that forced him to miss two of the past four games, but Redick really caught fire after shooting 1 - of - 9 from the field and missing all five of his 3 - point attempts in Monday's win against the Timberwolves. Redick's hottest stretch helped the Clippers jump out to a big lead in the third quarter, as he scored 11 points over a four - minute stretch. Los Angeles has now won six of its past seven games and has a firm grasp on second place in the Pacific Division behind the undefeated Warriors. Chris Paul, who also missed two games last week due to a rib injury, returned to action Monday, but looked like the best point guard in the league against Milwaukee. He finished the night with 18 points (7 - 13 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and a season - high 18 assists over 38 minutes (which matched his season high). The Clippers were dominant on the glass, outrebounding the Bucks 51 - 40 behind a 19 - rebound performance from DeAndre Jordan and 14 boards from Blake Griffin, who also chipped in 21 points on 8 - of - 18 shooting from the field. For the Bucks, it was the same old story, as Milwaukee was unable to hang with a superior team for longer than a half of basketball. They have played better at home this season, but were no match defensively for the Clippers offense. The one bright spot from Wednesday was the performance of Michael Carter-Williams, who was banished to the bench in favor of Jerryd Bayless initially, but with Bayless sidelined, O.J. Mayo took over at point guard. Carter-Williams finished with a team - high 20 points (9 - 16 FG, 2 - 3 FT) and matched his season high of 11 assists over 32 minutes. The Clippers go right back to work on the road Thursday against the Bulls; the Bucks travel to Toronto for a Friday bout with the Raptors.
