LOS ANGELES \u2014 Playing in his first game in a month, Blake Griffin scored 24 points and Lou Williams added 23 off the bench to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 121-106 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.<\/p>\n

It was the Lakers’ fifth consecutive loss and eighth in nine games.<\/p>\n

Jordan Clarkson led the Lakers with 20 points and Brandon Ingram added 18, all coming in the second half. Julius Randle had 18 points and Larry Nance Jr. added 16.<\/p>\n

Montrezl Harrell had 15 points for the Clippers, and Austin Rivers added 13.<\/p>\n

Griffin had been out with a knee injury.<\/p>\n

Centre DeAndre Jordan had 16 rebounds for the Clippers, who outrebounded the Lakers 49-35.<\/p>\n

For the second consecutive game, the Lakers started out hitting just one of their first 10 field goals. The lapse proved costly, the Lakers quickly falling behind 19-3.<\/p>\n

The Clippers led 35-22 at the end of the first quarter, the most points they have scored in an opening quarter this season.<\/p>\n

TIP-INS<\/p>\n

Clippers: Coach Doc Rivers said before the game that Griffin (sprained left medial collateral ligament) would not be on a minutes limit in his first game back since Nov. 11. Said Rivers: \u201cNot really, I think it’s a lung restriction. He’ll probably get tired. Other than that, it’s not anything we’re worried about.<\/p>\n

\u201d Griffin was originally expected to be out eight weeks. . F Wes Johnson (foot) also returned after missing three games. . G Austin Rivers left in the third quarter with a right Achilles strain.<\/p>\n

Lakers: Instead of practicing Thursday, the struggling Lakers held a team meeting. Lakers coach Luke Walton called it a good meeting, but warned against placing too much significance to it. Said Walton: \u201cI’ve been on a championship team where we had meetings in the middle of the season, so this is nothing new in\u00a0sports<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and I think every athlete knows that.\u201d . F Kyle Kuzma suffered a bruised right quad Wednesday but was cleared to play.<\/p>\n
