The Los Angeles Clippers tightened their defense waiting for the offense to come around.
The result was a second-half burst with a strong push from the reserves to lead Los Angeles to a 101-81 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night.
The win was a milestone for coach Doc Rivers, giving him his 600th victory. He became the third active coach with that many wins (behind Gregg Popovich and Rick Adelman) and is now 23rd all time.
Reserves Darren Collison and Jamal Crawford scored 15 points each to lead the Clippers. Chris Paul also had 15 points and eight assists as Los Angeles snapped a two-game losing streak.
