The Kings used a strong fourth quarter to pull away from the Clippers en route to a 98 - 92 victory at the Staples Center on Sunday. The game, which tipped off around 12:30 P.M. local time, featured a pair of division foes, as well as two of the best young big men in the league in Blake Griffin and DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins got the best of Griffin, leading all players with 34 points and 17 rebounds (six offensive) to go with five assists and three blocks. After a 40 - point effort Friday against Portland, Rudy Gay added 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Darren Collison chipped in 14 points, and Omri Casspi added six points and six boards in 16 minutes off the bench. The Clippers had easily their worst offensive output of the season two days after scoring 118 points against the Lakers on Friday. They shot just 38 percent from the field and 29 percent (9 - of - 31) from three, while Sacramento connected on half (34 - of - 68) of its field goals. Griffin led the way with 17 points and eight rebounds, but he connected on only 6 - of - 20 shot attempts. Chris Paul posted 16 points and 11 rebounds, while J.J. Redick added 12 points, including a pair of three - pointers. The Kings jumped out to an early 25 - 19 first quarter lead but found themselves trailing 51 - 45 at halftime. Sacramento slowly chipped away at the Los Angeles lead throughout the second half, finally breaking through in the fourth quarter. A Carl Landry free throw put the Kings up 83 - 82 with 7:26 to play, and the lead would never be relinquished. Looking ahead, Sacramento travels to Denver to face the 1 - 1 Nuggets on Monday night. The Clippers host the 1 - 2 Jazz on Monday in their fourth game in five nights.
