WASHINGTON -- Blake Griffin was unstoppable in the first half, then silent in the second. Yeezy Boost 350 Australia . On this night, the Los Angeles Clippers didnt need him. Griffin scored all of his 26 points in the first half and Los Angeles beat the Washington Wizards 122-101 on Saturday in a matchup between the last two No. 1 overall draft picks. Griffin got the best of John Wall both on the scoreboard and in the individual battle, as Wall finished with 25 points, although the rookie from Kentucky also added eight assists and seven rebounds. Griffin was everywhere in the first half, dominating the Wizards post players with his strength and post-up moves. In the games first 10 minutes, Griffin scored 16 points and put nearly every Washington big man in foul trouble as the Clippers went on a 23-3 run to build a 32-13 lead. "Blake got us going," Los Angeles coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We wanted the ball inside and to get to the free throw line and control the game that way, and I thought he got us off to a great start." The Clippers are used to these kinds of impressive performances from Griffin, especially early in games. "I dont know what it is about the first quarter, but he always starts us out right," Los Angeles guard Eric Bledsoe said. "Hes just terrific in the first quarter." Griffin finished the half 8 of 15 from the floor and 10 of 11 from the line, in what appeared to be the start of a very big night for the All-Star forward. "My teammates found me early and I just got into a rhythm," Griffin said. "I felt pretty good in the first half and we just all moved the ball and were hitting shots." Griffin, however, only took two more shots the rest of the night. But as the Clippers fought off a Washington rally and extended the lead, Griffin was able to enjoy the game from the Los Angeles bench. "Just sitting there on the bench, talking with Mo Williams and Randy (Foye), was nice," Griffin said. "I think that was the first time this year weve gotten to sit. At this point of the season, having played so many games and so many minutes, its just nice to sit there." Washington made things interesting, closing the Clippers 19-point lead to 68-65 with 8:36 left in the third quarter. But Los Angeles went on a 29-8 burst over the third and fourth periods to cruise to its fifth win in six games. Leading the charge was Williams, who scored 22 points, and Bledsoe, who racked up a career-high 23 points in his first matchup with former college teammate Wall. "I just came out and tried to be aggressive," Bledsoe said. "I tried to bring the energy that we needed." Jordan Crawford scored 16 points for the Wizards, who have lost 19 of 22 and are beginning to show frustration in their slide. "We know its a rebuilding process right now and theres going to be ups and downs," Wall said. "I hoped this year would be better but its tough right now. All we can try to do is finish strong." Los Angeles shot 23 free throws in the first quarter, compared to 21 field goal attempts, in racking up 38 points -- the most given up by the Wizards in the opening frame this season. Griffin saved his trademark theatrics for the second quarter, hooking up with Williams on an alley-oop that drew "ooohs" from the sellout crowd midway through the period. He then followed with a rainbow fadeaway jumper to give the Clippers a 61-46 lead with 3:13 remaining and added an emphatic swat of Walls drive on the Wizards next shot attempt. "Blake Griffin is a phenomenal player," Washington coach Flip Saunders said. Wall did his best to keep Washington in the game, sprinting through Los Angeles defence to score 19 first-half points on 18 attempts as the Wizards went into the break trailing 64-55. Notes: Saunders downplayed the Wall-Griffin matchup from his players perspective before the game. "John is pretty much beyond that," Saunders said. "He has to worry about himself and not the competition." ... JaVale McGee grabbed eight rebounds to pass the 1,000-rebound mark for his career. He now has 1,004. ... Andray Blatche missed the game with a sprained right shoulder he suffered in Wednesdays loss to Milwaukee, while Rashard Lewis missed his third straight contest with a sore knee. Josh Howard returned to the lineup after missing the previous three games with a strained left hamstring. Mens/Womens Yeezy Boost 350 Australia Adidas Turtle Dove Shoes turtle/blugra/cwhite . Despite almost exhausting all methods of saying no by this point, the B.C. native once again shot down the notion of facing his teammate. However, MacDonalds reluctance appeared to raise the ire of Tyron Woodley, who was preparing for a bout with Josh Koscheck.

Laughton, a centre with the Ontario Hockey Leagues Oshawa Generals, is representing Canada internationally for the third time.DORAL, Fla. - Tiger Woods only made it through 10 holes Thursday — this time because of the weather, not his back. The debut of the new Blue Monster, and the return of Woods, received an incomplete grade Thursday when the opening round of the Cadillac Championship was halted more than two hours because of menacing thunderstorms. Harris English was among only six players who finished the round, hitting 5-iron into the par-3 ninth hole and rolling in a 45-foot birdie putt for a 3-under 69. The golf course and the worlds No. 1 player showed enough. Woods, who walked off after 13 holes Sunday in the Honda Classic because of lower back pain and spasms, said he warmed up well and felt good during the delay. His golf didnt look all that great. He was 2-over par through 10 holes, ending the day with a wedge that came up some 20 yards short of his target, leading to a three-putt for bogey from about 55 feet. "Im ready to go back out tomorrow and play well," he said. Trump National Doral, completely overhauled by Gil Hanse, showed plenty of bite on a windy, cloudy afternoon. Jason Dufner was going along beautifully for 10 holes until he struggled to find fairways in a crosswind. Brett Rumford began his round by hitting four shots before he put one in play. Three went into the water on the par-5 10th, and he started out with an 11. "Mr. Trump wanted a very tough test on the Blue Monster, and I think thats what he got," English said. The course average was at 73.8. Dufner, Hunter Mahan, Francesco Molinari and Patrick Reed also were at 3 under when the round was suspended by darkness. The 62 players who failed to finish will return Friday morning to complete the round. Russell Henley, coming off a playoff win last week at the Honda Classic, made only one par in six holes on the back nine — two birdies, three bogeys. He was in the group at 2 under that included Masters champion Adam Scott, who is in the Nos. 1-2-3 group with Woods and Henrik Stenson. Stenson might have hit the most memorable shot of the day — a cold shank from the middle of the second fairway that sailed at a 45-degree angle into bushes. Scott has a chance to replace Woods at No. 1 in the world if he wins this World Golf Championship and Woods finishes worse that fifth. Rory McIlroy got off to a blazing start with four birdies in five holes, only to end the back nine with back-to-back bogeys with a long three-putt bbogey and a tee shot on the 18th that caught the edge of the water and bounded into the hazard. Originals Adidas NMD All Black Mens/Womens High Top Sneaker. . That might be the most penal aspect of the new Doral. Anything hit toward some of the edges feeds toward the water, and theres a lot of water in play. Not even English was immune. His tee shot on the 18th found the water, and he still had 4-iron to get to the green. But he bounced back on the par-5 first hole by smashing a tee shot so far with help from the wind and the firm fairways that he had a 7-iron left from 213 yards. He hit that to 12 feet for a two-putt birdie, and he was bogey-free the rest of the way. Dufner said he hasnt had to think his way around a golf course this much since he was at Muirfield last year for the British Open, even though the tracks are nothing alike. "This used to be a golf course where you grab your driver on every hole, swing for the fences and play from there," he said. "You cant get away with that here at Doral anymore." Dufner didnt feel comfortable with driver on the 14th, so he laid back and had 236 yards left to the par 4. He hit 3-iron and made birdie, anyway. Other times, he failed to dial it back and paid the price. "Youre not going to go through this tournament on this golf course anymore with no bogeys," he said. "Everybody is going to be making some bogeys here and there, so pretty happy with where Im at." Jordan Spieth already had three bogeys and a double bogey on the par-5 12th hole. He countered with five birdies and was even par through 15 holes. Only 19 players were under par when the round was stopped. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., is tied for 60th place. Woods made two bogeys without a single birdie. Hell have eight holes remaining Friday morning to make up some ground. "Should be a long day for all of us," Woods said. "Hopefully, tomorrow I can get back out there in the morning, play well and work back to even par by the end of the first round, then shoot a low one in the afternoon." DIVOTS: Brendon de Jonge said he injured his right ribs in the final round at the Honda Classic. He is on pain medication, which he said makes him feel a bit light-headed. The Zimbabwean opened with a 76. He said he would take next week off and have an MRI. ... Jason Day withdrew before the round began with an injury to his left thumb, which he said was hurting him when he won the Match Play Championship two weeks ago.
