The Cleveland Cavaliers wouldn't allow an extended trip to Hollywood distract them from their task at hand.
LeBron James scored 27 points before sitting out the fourth quarter, and the visiting Cavaliers used a long ball barrage to crush the LA Clippers 114-90 on Sunday.
The Cavs returned to Staples Center and dominated the Clippers for their sixth win in seven games following Thursday's 12-point victory over the co-tenant Lakers.
"This is a business trip, we get the opportunity to be in a great city but at the end of the day we know the main focus was to continue the momentum," James said.
"So we came out and took care of business."

"We should have more pride at home," said Clippers centre DeAndre Jordan, after an 11-point, 11-rebound effort.
"We started the game great but there was no fight once they punched back."
