Collison's 21 points lead Clippers in rout of Magic

Darren Collison scored 19 of his 21 points in the first half and had seven assists in his second start at the point since Chris Paul's injury, leading the Clippers to a 101-81 rout of the Orlando Magic on Monday night.

The Clippers enjoyed one of their best defensive efforts of the season, after surrendering 70 first-half points in each of their previous two games against Dallas and San Antonio - both on the road.

Jamal Crawford chipped in with 13 points and eight of the team's 30 assists. Blake Griffin - bogged down by early foul trouble - had 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists. DeAndre Jordan had 17 rebounds and 14 points.
