The Clippers' seven-game losing streak ended Sunday night at home, and it ended with room to spare. They beat New Orleans 139-123 without Bradley Beal and Brandon Ingram, who have yet to appear this season. A 16-point margin is not how a team that had lost seven straight usually gets out of a slump.

Darius Garland led Los Angeles with 24 points and 10 assists, a double-double built without a single rebound, and he shot 6 of 11. Brook Lopez added 20 on 8-of-11 shooting in 26 minutes, the only healthy center with Isaiah Jackson out. Keaton Wagler and Gradey Dick each scored 15 off the bench, on a combined 10 of 12 from the floor.

The first quarter ended 28-28. The Clippers took over in the second, scoring 39 to New Orleans' 32 and carrying a 67-60 lead into halftime. The third was a stalemate at 35 apiece, so the margin stayed at seven. Los Angeles then put it away in the fourth, 37-28.

The Pelicans had the night's top individual scorers and still lost. Trey Murphy III led all players with 26. Jeremiah Fears scored 25 on 10-of-14 shooting, and Zion Williamson also had 25 while going 9 for 9 from the field. The rest of the starting group gave little back. Dejounte Murray had 6 points on 1-of-6 shooting, and Karlo Matkovic had 3.
