LOS ANGELES -- The Clippers tuned up for the playoffs with a clinic on scoring in transition, whether it was going coast-to-coast for layups or ferocious dunks. Jake McGee Jersey . The display produced a 117-101 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, giving the Clippers their franchise record-tying 56th win of the regular season. Blake Griffin had 27 points and nine assists, DeAndre Jordan had 21 points and nine rebounds, and Chris Paul added 17 points and 10 assists. "Were still playing for something," Paul said. "We can keep building confidence on defence. Were at our best when were running and getting stops." J.J. Redick had 13 points and Matt Barnes scored 12 in helping the Clippers improve to 33-7 at Staples Center, breaking the franchise record for home victories in a season. "When we got stops, got out and moved the ball from side to side, we were able to get what we wanted," Griffin said. "Thats the key for us, just playing our offence and not letting what they do dictate our game." Los Angeles completed a season sweep of the Kings and has won seven straight against them at home. "I just hated our defence," Sacramento coach Mike Malone said. DeMarcus Cousins had his seventh straight double-double with 32 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Kings, who lost their fifth in a row in their last road game of the season. Rudy Gay scored 16 points, and former Clipper Reggie Evans had 14 points and 14 rebounds. Cousins and Ben McLemore combined to score 24 of the Kings 32 points in the third quarter, including their last 20. McLemore hit consecutive 3-pointers, the second one just beating the clock at the end of the period, to leave the Kings trailing 85-79 going into the fourth. "We couldnt get any stops," Malone said. "Defensively, they just got whatever they wanted. It was just layup after layup after layup." McLemore finished with 14 points, hitting all six of his free throws, before getting his second technical and being ejected with 10:51 left in the game. "Thats the crazy thing about it," he said. "Ive never gotten kicked out of a game in my life." The Kings closed within two on a three-point play by Cousins in the fourth. The Clippers answered with a 12-2 run to go up 103-91, capped by Jamal Crawfords back-to-back 3-pointers. He landed in the lap of courtside fans after the first one. "Those two 3s Mal hit were backbreakers," Paul said. Crawford returned after missing five straight games with a sore left Achilles tendon. He finished with 10 points in 20 minutes. "I felt good, rusty obviously, but my teammates did a good job getting me easy looks," he said. Los Angeles outscored the Kings 25-5 on fastbreak points and 54-42 in the paint. "When a team lives in your paint, especially a good team like they are, youre going to have a hard time beating them," Malone said. NOTES: Clippers F Danny Granger sat out his seventh straight game because of a strained left hamstring. ... Kings G Isaiah Thomas missed his 10th straight game with a right quad contusion. ... Sacramento fell to 11-30 on the road and 7-19 against the West away from home. ... The Kings topped the 100-point mark for the first time in five games. Cheap Rockies Jerseys China . Garcia had eight birdies overall to go with a lone bogey on the fourth to move to an 18-under total of 198 at the Asian Tour event. "I was able to hit some really nice shots and then was able to roll two or three really good putts in and it was nice to be able to finish birdie, birdie on this difficult finishing stretch," Garcia said.

Pillar is an outsider to secure a role off the bench, which becomes an even more difficult spot to win if the number of back up jobs is reduced by one. That happens if the Blue Jays decide to start the season with an eight man bullpen. http://www.cheaprockiesjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-todd-helton-jersey . -- Rory McIlroy birdied his last two holes Thursday for a 7-under 63 to take the lead after one round of the Honda Classic.Its strange, eh. Ottawa has always felt so safe, like a second home, really. I couldnt tell you how many times Ive stayed at the Westin Hotel there, how many times Ive frequented? the Rideau Centre mall attached to it; how many times Ive strolled from the Westin to past the Chateau Laurier on the way to Parliament Hill, or maybe a walk over to the Byward Market, where my sons condo was located in the months he lived in our nations capital. Is it 40 times? Fifty? One hundred? Ive never thought to count them up, to be honest, from the time I started covering junior hockey games there in 1979 to last Thursday, when I was there for the Senators home opener. But its been a lot. And as I sat on a plane today in Toronto, waiting to take off for New York, reading the horrific Twitter updates of possible shooters on the loose, a brave reservist of the Canadian Forces killed at the National War Memorial, of possible shootings elsewhere in the area, including the mall? I was casually strolling through last week, well, its almost incomprehensible. In this world we live in, it shouldnt be incomprehensible but it still is. I arrived in Ottawa from New York late Thursday morning last week, checked into the Westin though my room wasnt going to be ready for another hour. So I did what Ive done countless times before, take the elevator up to the third floor and into the Rideau Centre. I guess it had been almost a year since I was there last -- Daniel Alfredssons return as a member of the Detroit Red Wings last November-- so I was surprised to discover the malls street level food court and my long-time Tim Hortons was gone, under construction apparently, so I searched out the new food court at the opposite end of the mall. No Tims, apparently, but it was teeming with people and as I sat down at a table with my lunch, I happened to be seated close to a large group of teenagers, obviously on lunch break from their school. Its funny to watch kids interact with each other sometimes. You never know what youre going to get but this group of kids, spread out over two or three tables, struck me as maybe the nicest, happiest kids you could possibly imagine. They came in all shapes and sizes, all colours and nationalities, but what struck me was how incredibly kind and considerate and caring they were to each other. They couldnt have been happier, sharing each others company?, smiling, laughing, seemingly no boundaries or walls between them or the different tables they were sitting at. I watched them, was maybe even awed by them, for a good 15 minutes. In faact, it so made an impression on me I briefly thought about tweeting that I just saw a group of high school kids in Ottawa who made me feel really good about the world, about our community, how uplifting it was to see such inherently good or nice kids, or so it seemed to me. Ian Desmond Jersey. I thought of their parents and how pleased they must be at how well, at face value anyway, their kids looked to be turning out. I thought better of tweeting something, though, not feeling like opening a door to Twitter trolls, but as I went about my business in the mall -- going over to Hudsons Bay Co. to get a new watch battery; stopping by Chapters to see if my book was on display; dropping into Starbucks for a tea before going back to the hotel to get my room -- I thought about how much I enjoy Ottawa, how safe and comfortable it always is there, how maybe more than any Canadian city I visit, it feels like home. It was a good day and it ended as it started: happily, relaxing with friends and work colleagues in the hote?l bar after broadcasting the Sens home opener, a victory that sent everyone in Ottawa home happy that night. And then came today and the horrifying news from the Canadian capital. Of course, my thoughts are, first and foremost, with ?Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was killed standing guard at the War Memorial, and his family and friends. I thought about the brave first responders who put themselves in harms way when everyone else is running to safety. But I also thought of my friends and colleagues who were today at the Westin for tonights (now postponed) Toronto-Ottawa game, the same as I was last Thursday for the Senators and Colorado Avalanche game, and how something like affects everyone. And amid the reports of the mall and the hotels and the schools and the office buildings downtown being locked down with reports of gun fire ringing out, I thought of those high school kids and I wondered how they must be feeling, how different it would have been from when I saw them last week. None of us are naive enough to deny the existence of evil. Its all around us and it doesnt discriminate, not by country or city or town or village, so we shouldnt be surprised when it violently appears out of nowhere. When it does, theres no immunity. Which is what makes today such a difficult one for everyone everywhere. But? Im sure it wont be long before Im in Ottawa again and Im going to go the mall and I hope I see those kids, still happy and smiling, doing their part to make sure good triumphs over evil. Stay safe, Ottawa. Stay strong.
