Lamar Odom and Corey Maggette triggered a quick start and Quentin Richardson scored 23 points as the Clippers snapped a seven-game home losing streak to the Seattle SuperSonics, 114-94.
The Clippers (12-10) never trailed and led by as many as 29 points. They established season highs for points in a half (70) and game as they looked as sharp as they have all season.

Odom had 15 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in a superb all-around game. Maggette scored all 17 of his points in the first half, when the Clippers raced to a 70-45 lead.
Jeff McInnis scored 19 points and Elton Brand added 18 and 10 rebounds for the Clippers, who shot 54 percent (46-of-85) from the field and held a 42-32 rebounding advantage.
Seattle has gotten very comfortable in Los Angeles, going 8-1 in the Staples Center since it opened in 1999. That included Tuesday's win over the defending NBA champion Lakers, but the Clippers beat the SuperSonics at home for the first time since January 23, 1997.
