Chris Paul and Blake Griffin referred to this week’s three-game roadie as a “business trip.” The Clippers (46-25) certainly took care of business in the first half Wednesday at New York, where they lead the Knicks 63-33 at the break at Madison Square Garden.

J.J. Redick led the way with 15 first-half points. DeAndre Jordan had 10 points and seven rebounds, Austin Rivers scored 10 off the bench and Matt Barnes and Griffin scored eight points apiece. Paul scored just four points, but he doled out 12 assists in 18 minutes.

The Clippers shot 57.1 percent from the field.

The Knicks (14-57) got seven points off the bench from Cleanthony Early in the half.
