Tyrese Maxey scored 16 of his 29 points in the first quarter as the Philadelphia 76ers got off to a fast start and extended their winning streak to four games with a 128-113 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday in Inglewood, Calif.

Dominick Barlow scored a career high 26 points with 16 rebounds and Joel Embiid added 24 points as the 76ers matched their longest winning streak of the season while opening a five-game West Coast road trip with a victory. Kelly Oubre Jr. had 15 points for Philadelphia.

The 76ers grabbed an 18-2 lead five minutes into the game, led by as many as 23 points in the first half and swept the two-game season series against Los Angeles.

Kawhi Leonard scored 29 points and Jordan Miller added 21 as the Clippers’ five-game home winning streak came to an end. Kobe Sanders had 17 points, John Collins scored 15 and Brook Lopez added 13 for Los Angeles, which dropped to 17-5 since Dec. 20.

The Clippers were playing their second consecutive game without guard James Harden because of personal reasons, with the veteran starting to emerge in trade rumors ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

The 76ers led 38-19 after one quarter while holding the Clippers to 36.8% from the floor as Maxey went 4 of 5 from 3-point range. Barlow added 11 points in the quarter when Leonard was 0 of 5 for the Clippers.

The Clippers rebounded to score 34 points in the second quarter, but they merely matched the Sixers’ output as Philadelphia led 72-53 at halftime while shooting 10 of 19 (52.6%) from 3-point range.

Los Angeles pulled within 94-83 late in the third quarter before Philadelphia went into the fourth with a 100-87 advantage.

A Leonard dunk got the Clippers back within 115-104 with 5:19 remaining before a Maxey 3-pointer put the Sixers up 120-104 with 4:25 left. Both teams unloaded their bench the rest of the way.
