NEW ORLEANS -- J.J. Redick scored 26 points for a second straight night, Chris Paul closed out a poor shooting performance with pivotal plays in the final minutes, and the Los Angeles Clippers concluded an unbeaten five-game road trip with a 95-89 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday.
Paul missed 15 of his first 17 shots, but hit a 19-foot step-back jumper with a minute to go to give Los Angeles a 90-87 lead. Before and after that score, Paul assisted on baskets by Jamal Crawford.
