Sports Mole brings you a roundup of all of Sunday's NBA action as the Los Angeles Clippers cruise past the Philadelphia 76ers at home.

The Los Angeles Clippers became the first side since 2001 to lead by 31 points or more after the first quarter during their 123-76 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Blake Griffin was the star of the show on Sunday night, as he scored a game-high 26 points to push the Clippers to a comfortable home victory at the Staples Center in their NBA encounter.

Tony Wroten did his best to ensure that the 76ers didn't completely collapse in the contest, as he scored 21 points in a fixture that also saw LA benefit from the return of Chris Paul from injury.

At the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Kevin Durant scored 40 or more points for the seventh time this season as the Oklahoma City Thunder edged out the New York Knicks with a 112-100 victory.

Durant grabbed 41 points on the night, as the Thunder's leading player just missed out on recording a triple-double following his addition of 10 rebounds and nine assists in the match.

The Dallas Mavericks were the only other side to pass 100 points on Sunday night as they defeated the Boston Celtics with a 102-91 win at the TD Garden.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 20 points for the seventh straight game to help carry the Mavericks to victory, while Rajon Rondo recorded his 4,000th career assist, becoming just the sixth Celtic player to reach that milestone in the history of the game.

In Florida, the Orlando Magic held off the Indiana Pacers to claim a hard-fought 93-92 victory, with the hosts having to come back from a 17-point deficit during the game.

Victor Oladipo scored 12 of his 23 points during a 32-8 second-half run, but Paul George could have won the fixture for Indiana had he not missed a contested jumper in the final seconds.

Over in Ohio, point guard Kyrie Irving scored a game-high 28 points and dished out six assists as the Cleveland Cavaliers came out victorious with a 91-83 overtime win against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Dion Waiters added 18 points and six assists, while center Anderson Varejao collected four points and 14 rebounds for the Cavs as they pushed in front to seal a comfortable win in the fifth quarter.

Joakim Noah was the standout player as the Chicago Bulls overcame the Los Angeles Lakers with a 92-86 victory, with Noah scoring 20 points and grabbing 13 boards for the visitors.

Chris Kaman scored a season-high 27 points, two off his career best, on 13-for-23 shooting, but it wasn't enough for the Lakers as D.J. Augustin sank four free throws in the final 21 seconds to push the Bulls over the line.

Elsewhere, the Washington Wizards cruised to a comfortable win at home, as they beat the Sacramento Kings 93-84 at the Verizon Center.

The Wizards had three players to thank for the win as Nene, Marcin Gortat and Bradley Beal all got into double figures to cancel out an impressive effort from Isaiah Thomas, who scored a game-high 30 points on the night.

In Sunday's final fixture, the Brooklyn Nets recorded a 93-81 win over the New Orleans Pelicans at home, as Mason Plumlee grabbed a career-high 22 points, while also adding 13 rebounds.
