The Clippers got a full team effort – both offensively and defensively – and beat the visiting Timberwolves 126-111.

Los Angeles (16-25) – which has won six straight home games – outscored Minnesota (10-33) 29-19 in the first quarter and then maintained the advantage all the way through. Seven Clippers scored in double figures led by Blake Griffin’s 29. Among the double-digit scorers were Eric Gordon (23), Baron Davis (20), Ryan Gomes (13), DeAndre Jordan (11) and Eric Bledsoe and Ike Diogu, who scored 10 apiece.

For the first time since Nov. 18, Griffin did not get a double-double, with only eight rebounds, but he had a more complete game, dishing out six assists. DeAndre Jordan got the double-double this time, with 11 points and 12 boards, while Gomes had eight rebounds and Diogu ripped down six. The Clippers had 48 rebounds as a team – 15 more than Minnesota.

Former UCLA Bruin Kevin Love led Minnesota with 26 points and 11 rebounds.

The Clippers have won seven of their last 10 games and three in a row.

Despite only having two points in the first half, Blake Griffin came roaring back in the second as the Clips defeated the Lakers 99-92 in a day game.

The Clippers (14-25) came alive in the second half with not only Griffin, but also by using a three guard set that opened up outside shooting for Baron Davis, Randy Foye and Eric Gordon, who finished with a game-high 30 points.

When Coach Vinny Del Negro put in the three guards at the same time, it not only set up each of them for passing to each other for three-point looks, but it also spread out the Lakers defense – which would try and cover the shooters and then leave Griffin open underneath.

With that setup, Davis had two three-pointers, while Gordon went 4-7 from behind the arc and Foye shot three and made two. The Clippers shot 9 of 21 from the three-point line overall, with Al-Farouq Aminu also hitting one.

Along with Gordon’s 30, Griffin finished the game with his 32nd double-double of the season – 18 points and 15 boards – while Davis had 14 and Foye nine.

Even with the Lakers’ three 7-footers inside, the Clippers managed to outrebound them 50-45 and had three players with 10 or more – Griffin and DeAndre Jordan with 15 apiece and Ike Diogu with 11.

Kobe Bryant scored 27 for the Lakers while Andrew Bynum added 18, Paul Gasol 13 and Lamar Odom and Ron Artest each scored 10.

Both teams play tomorrow also with the Clippers going against Indiana first, followed by the Lakers playing Oklahoma City.

Golden State used an 11-point advantage in the second quarter to take a lead and a 10-0 run at the end to seal the home win over the Clippers.

Vladimir Radmanovic hit two three-pointers in the fourth quarter in the 10-0 rally that was the breaking point for the Clippers (13-25). Radmanovic finished the game with 13 points, while Stephon Curry had 23, Monta Ellis led the team with 30 and David Lee scored 19.

Blake Griffin had yet another double-double for the Clippers with 28 points and 13 rebounds, while Eric Gordon also scored 28, Baron Davis had 15, Ike Diogu added 13 and DeAndre Jordan 11.

The Clippers had won three in a row before today and host the Lakers Sunday at Staples.
