The Los Angeles Clippers cruised to a 138-98 victory on Monday night to level the playoff series with the Golden State Warriors at 1-1.
Blake Griffin scored a playoff career-high 35 points to help the Clippers produce the perfect response to falling behind in the first game of the Western Conference meeting.
The Clippers opened up an 11-point lead in the first quarter, and their dominance continued throughout the game as Golden State struggled to cope with the home side's attacking strength.
A 26-point advantage at half time proved to be enough for the Clippers, whose lead never dipped below 25 as Chris Paul enjoyed a productive evening 12 points and 10 assists.
Stephen Curry scored 20 of his 24 points in the third quarter, but the visitors failed to make an impact in the second half as a number of their key players played with the threat of being fouled out.
The third game between the two teams will take place on Thursday.
