The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 113 - 94 Thursday at Quicken Loans Arena . The Clippers ( 15 - 5 ) , who were coming off their worst loss of the season in overtime against the Brooklyn Nets , bounced back in superb fashion with a blowout victory over the Cavaliers ( 13 - 4 ) , who have now lost two in a row . Los Angeles got out to a slow start , but were able to pull away from Cleveland with the help of big second and third quarters where they outscore the home team by 24 points . J.J. Redick led the way with a superb shooting night , scoring a team - high 23 points on 9 - of - 13 shooting from the field and 4 - of - 6 from behind the arc . As a team , the game was won for the Clippers with their outside shooting , as they shot 42 percent from long range overall . Blake Griffin struggled from the field after resting against the Nets , shooting just 4 - of - 14 , but he still managed to record a double - double of 13 points and 11 assists . For the Cavaliers , this is the second dud they 've put up in as many games , shooting just 40 percent from the field and recording 18 total turnovers to just 12 assists . Kyrie Irving had a solid evening , scoring a game - high 28 points on 8 - of - 19 shooting from the field , but both LeBron James and Kevin Love failed to produce much offensively , combining for 32 total points on 12 - of - 25 shooting . The only other Cleveland player to score in double figures was Richard Jefferson , who scored 12 points in 22 minutes off the bench . Up next , the Clippers will head to New Orleans on Friday to take on the Pelicans , while the Cavaliers travel to Chicago on Friday to play the Bulls . For a big man , Blake Griffin 's 4 assists per game is rather impressive , especially when you consider his point guard is one of the best passers to ever play in the NBA . But Griffin has consistently shown signs of having great court awareness with his assist numbers . That awareness was on full display Thursday night as Griffin posted a season - high 11 assists in the blowout victory , and there is a correlation between Griffin 's high assists numbers and Los Angeles ' success this season . In the 10 games where Griffin has posted at least five assists , the Clippers are 10 - 1 , and he recorded under five assists in three of their four losses . It 's clear that when Griffin is looking to move the ball , Los Angeles is finding success , and having capable distributors in both the frontcourt and backcourt will only help this Clippers squad continue to find success .
