• J.J. Redick had his best game in five since missing three games with back spasms. He scored 20 points on 8 of 14 shooting, 3 of 3 from 3-point range. Afterward, Redick admitted he had yet to find his wind after not doing a thing for eight days during the time he missed. The Clippers need Redick to be all he can be.
• Josh Smith turned the ball over four times in nearly 22 minutes off the bench. But he made up for it by pulling down a game-high 12 rebounds.
• Real nice game by reserve guard Austin Rivers. He had 17 points on 7 of 11 shooting with just one turnover in 23 minutes and 38 seconds.
• Likewise, Lance Stephenson was yet another reserve who played well as the Clippers got it going with both their first and second units. Stephenson scored 10 points, grabbed five rebounds, doled out four assists and provided tremendous energy.
• The Clippers (8-8) were outrebounded 50-49 and still have not outrebounded an opponent this season.
