Clippers 107, 76ers 90: Chris Paul racked up 21 points and 11 assists as Los Angeles cruised past Philadelphia to salvage the finale of their eight-game Grammy road trip.
Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford added 20 points apiece for the Clippers, who finished .500 on their marathon trek. Los Angeles shot a sizzling 58.7 percent while limiting the 76ers to 11 second-quarter points in the rout.
Nick Young's 29 points paced Philadelphia, which fell for just the second time in six games. Jeremy Pargo, Evan Turner and Jrue Holiday added 10 points apiece.
Paul's 12 points and seven assists - coupled with the Clippers' 62.9-percent first-half shooting performance - lifted Los Angeles to a 56-33 lead at the break. Paul scored seven straight points near the midway point of the third quarter, and Griffin knocked down back-to-back shots late en route to a 12-point period as the Clippers led 88-59 entering the fourth.
The Los Angeles bench made the lead stand. Crawford opened the quarter with a 16-foot jumper, added a 3-pointer and converted a 20-footer to extend the lead to 30 with 8:36 remaining.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Griffin and DeAndre Jordan wowed the crowd with back-to-back explosive dunks midway through the third quarter. Griffin converted a left-handed slam on a deft bounce pass from Paul, while Jordan added a two-handed jam on a Griffin missed free throw. ... The Clippers will play their next five games at home, though they're considered the road team for Thursday's Staples Center tilt with the Lakers. ... Los Angeles was without G Chauncey Billups and F Caron Butler. Both players sat out with back injuries.
