The Los Angeles Clippers ( 21 - 13 ) held on for a road victory Thursday over the New Orleans Pelicans ( 10 - 22 ) at the Smoothie King Center , 95 - 89 . Despite one of Chris Paul 's worst shooting games as a professional — 3 - 18 , including 0 - 4 from three - point land — the Clippers held on and extended their winning streak to five games . After trailing for most of the first half , the Clippers took a 50 - 48 lead late in the second quarter and trailed only for 17 seconds in the second half as they managed to stave off a late but futile New Orleans run . J.J. Redick 's hot shooting night , including 9 - 15 from the field and 4 - 7 from three - point land , gave him 26 points to lead all scorers . Paul still scored nine points , grabbed five rebounds and dished out 12 assists despite his awful shooting night . DeAndre Jordan was a monster on the glass , as he grabbed 20 rebounds — including eight on the offensive end — and scored 11 points as he owned the paint in Blake Griffin 's absence . The Pelicans had six players finish in double figures , but Ryan Anderson was the only one to find his groove , as he led the club with 17 points on an efficient 7 - 11 shooting . Anthony Davis and Tyreke Evens scored 14 points each and Norris Cole scored 15 , but none managed to shoot 50 percent from the floor . The Pelicans shot 44 percent as a team and needed to be more accurate to overcome their rebounding disadvantage . The Clippers match up next with Philadelphia at home on Saturday . The Pelicans travel to Dallas for a Saturday date with the Mavericks .
