The Los Angeles Clippers outlasted the Phoenix Suns 117-93 without James Harden on Sunday night.
Kawhi Leonard dropped 25 points and eight rebounds, reaching his 27th consecutive game with 20 or more points, despite being left off the Western Conference All-Star reserves.
Ivica Zubac had 14 points and 20 rebounds, outrebounding the Suns 63-35 and outscoring them 64-18 in the paint.
Jordan Miller added 20, John Collins 16, and Kobe Sanders with 12 points, and started for Harden, who missed the game for personal reasons.
Since starting the season 6-21, the Clippers have won 17 of 21 and are just two games under .500. The Suns had won three straight before Sunday, and are still 15-7 since Dec. 21.
Suns sharpshooter Grayson Allen tallied 23 points and eight assists, and Dillon Brooks scored 200 points.
Phoenix shot just 33.3% from the field and was held under 100 points for just the sixth time in 50 games this season.
Meanwhile, the Suns were still without Devin Booker (right ankle sprain) and Jalen Green (right hamstring and left hip).
Booker was selected as a reserve for his fifth All-Star game earlier Sunday.
The teams split the season series 2-2.
The Clippers will host the Sixers on Monday night, while the Suns will be at Portland on Tuesday.
