– With Blake Griffin still on the shelf with a partially torn left quad tendon, others have had to pick up the scoring slack during what is now a six-game winning streak. In this game, it was Austin Rivers and DeAndre Jordan. Rivers is averaging 8.1 points on the season, and he scored 26. Jordan is averaging 11.5 points, and he scored 22.

– The Clippers shot a fantastic 60.5 percent from the field, 52.2 (12 of 23) from 3-point range. But Chris Paul had his third poor shooting game in succession. He shot 4 of 12, 1 of 4 from beyond the arc. He is 11 of 43 (25.6 percent) over the past three games, 1 of 11 (9.1 percent) from long-distance.

– Paul Pierce was given a day of rest, so Wesley Johnson started at one of the forward spots. He came through with 12 points, all on 3-point baskets. He was 4 of 8 overall from the field, 4 of 7 from 3-point range.

– It’s not going to be easy for Josh Smith to get back into the rotation, though he did get six minutes during garbage time in this one. His replacement, Cole Aldrich, had another solid showing. He scored eight points on 4 of 6 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds in 11 1/2 minutes. He did have three turnovers and five fouls, however, so it wasn’t all good. Smith had not played the previous three games, and five of the previous six.

– Then there is J.J. Redick. He shot 50 percent (45 of 90) from 3-point range during the month of December. He began January by making 4 of 5 in this one. He is now shooting 49.1 percent (81 of 165) from beyond the arc this season, second only to Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio. He’s shooting 49.6 percent (64 of 129).
