Washington, DC (Sports Network) - It was another highlight-reel night for
Blake Griffin, and the Los Angeles Clippers rolled to a 107-81 victory over
the Washington Wizards.
Griffin, who registered 21 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, wooed the
crowd by throwing down some more monster dunks Saturday at Verizon Center.
DeAndre Jordan added 18 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks for the Clippers,
who won for the fifth time in six games. They've also won six in a row against
the Wizards.
The Clippers overcame an off night from Chris Paul, who along with Griffin was
named starters on the Western Conference All-Star squad. Paul was 1-for-9 from
the field and had two points, but did have seven assists.
It was a successful start to a mammoth 11-day, six-game road trip for the
Clippers that will see them travel a total of 6,929.5 miles before they land
in Los Angeles. The team has upcoming road games against Orlando, Cleveland,
Philadelphia, Charlotte and Dallas.
John Wall and Nick Young each scored 14, but the Wizards lost for a fourth
straight time and fell to 4-20 on the season. Jordan Crawford scored 12 in a
reserve role for Washington, which shot 37.5 percent from the field.
