Ivica Zubac scored 28 points and grabbed 20 rebounds, Kawhi Leonard added 33 points and the Los Angeles Clippers extended their winning streak to four games with a 132-119 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday in Inglewood, Calif.

James Harden posted 22 points and nine assists Bogdan Bogdanovic had 20 points while shooting 8-for-8 from the floor as the Clippers (39-30) improved their home winning streak to seven games. Zubac's third 20-20 performance of the season came on his 28th birthday.

The Los Angeles victory came without head coach Tyronn Lue, who was out for the fourth time in the past six games because of back pain, while assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy also was away from the team because of a family medical matter.

A 9-0 run early in the final period gave Los Angeles a 115-103 lead with 9:12 remaining on a 3-pointer from Bogdanovic.

The Clippers went up 121-113 with 4:45 remaining on a layup in traffic by Zubac before a rebound and follow-up dunk by Zubac put Los Angeles on top 123-115 with 3:31 left. Leonard ended a 6-0 run on a fadeaway jumper for a 12-point lead with 2:28 remaining.

Los Angeles shot 54.8 percent from the floor in the victory and grabbed 49 rebounds to Cleveland's 29. The Clippers also were 16 of 35 (45.7 percent) from 3-point range. The Cavaliers finished at 48.9 percent from the field, 14 of 41 (34.1 percent) from beyond the arc.
