HOUSTON -- Blake Griffin had 26 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists for his second straight triple-double to lift the Chris Paul-less Los Angeles Clippers to a 117-101 victory over the Houston Rockets on Monday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Houston scored five straight points to cut the lead to one with about 7½ minutes left. Matt Barnes got the Clippers going after that, making two 3-pointers in a 12-0 run that made it 101-88 3 minutes later, and the Clippers coasted to the victory.
Paul, who has a strained left hamstring, missed his first game of the season. But Jamal Crawford had 21 points and Barnes added 20 to help pick up the slack.
Dwight Howard led Houston with 22 points and James Harden added 20.
Houston was well-rested after having six days off after beating Dallas in five games. The Clippers showed no signs of fatigue despite having only about 48 hours to get ready for this series after eliminating defending champion San Antonio in Game 7 on Saturday night.
Griffin, who also had a triple-double on Saturday, has three this postseason.
Harden scored five straight points after the Clippers took their big lead, but Houston couldn't do much after that and fans started heading for the exits with about 2 minutes left.
The Clippers scored 37 points in the third quarter to lead by six at the start of the fourth. They were up by eight early in the fourth when Houston used a 6-2 spurt, with two dunks and a block by Howard, to cut the lead to 87-83.
Paul, who has averaged 22.7 points and 7.9 assists in the playoffs, was injured Saturday night but returned to hit the game-winning shot. Coach Doc Rivers said the All-Star point guard could have played if it were an elimination game, but that it wasn't worth the risk for Game 1.
Rivers expects him to be able to play in this series, but isn't sure if he'll be ready for Game 2 on Wednesday night.
Paul, the team's undisputed leader, clad in an olive green blazer, stood up often during the game, barking pointers to his teammates. He walked with a noticeable limp and during timeouts he would call different players over, sharing information with them as if he were an extra coach.
Five quick points by Harden put Houston up by six with about 10 minutes left in the third quarter. But Los Angeles scored the next six points to tie it at 57-all.
A basket by J.J. Redick gave the Clippers their first lead since early in the game, 66-65. Jason Terry put Houston back on top with a 3-pointer, but the Clippers scored the next seven points to take a 73-68 lead with 3½ minutes left in the third quarter.
The Clippers were up by six with 2 minutes left in the period when Houston scored five quick points, capped by a dunk from Corey Brewer, to get within 78-77.
Los Angeles scored the last five points of the quarter, powered by a 3-pointer by Crawford, to lead 83-77 entering the fourth.
TIP-INS
Clippers: DeAndre Jordan grew up in Houston and said he expected to have about 40 friends and family at the game. ... Austin Rivers started in place of Paul and finished with 20 points. ... Doc Rivers had some fun with fans who heckled him for using the Hack-A-Shaq when Houston intentionally fouled Jordan. A chuckling Rivers asked them why they weren't booing Houston coach Kevin McHale for doing the same thing he did.
Rockets: Trevor Ariza scored 11 of Houston's first 15 points. ... Former Houston stars Hakeem Olajuwon and Tracy McGrady watched from courtside seats.

Los Angeles leads 1-0 (Game 1 of 7)

Clippers 117

(56-26, 26-15 away)
