The Clippers lead the Cleveland Cavaliers 64-61 at halftime of a very entertaining game Friday night at Staples Center.

Matt Barnes and Blake Griffin scored 13 points apiece to lead the Clippers with J.J. Redick scoring 11 and DeAndre Jordan scoring 10 while pulling down 11 rebounds.

Kyrie Irving led the Cavs with 16 first-half points with LeBron James and Tristan Thompson each scoring 13. Kevin Love has not yet played after suffering from back spasms in Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

Austin Rivers, son of coach Doc Rivers, made his Clippers debut and played six minutes. He shot 0 of 3 from the field and did not score, but he did have an assist.
