Griffin takes Paul's place to lead Clippers past Nets

Blake Griffin had a double-double with 23 less Los Angeles Clippers took down 91.

Paul sat out Monday's game against the Nets with a strained left hamstring. The injury happened in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 102-94 victory over the Lakers. Paul had an MRI on Sunday, which came back negative and he is listed as day-to-day.

Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups netted 20 points apiece for the Clippers, who have won six of seven. All six of the wins have come at home with the lone loss being at Portland last Tuesday.

MarShon Brooks had 19 points and eight rebounds for the Nets, who have dropped five of six. They went 1-3 on their four-game road trip.
