02/04/2012 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - 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, who never trailed, 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.
Griffin was active right from the start, as he netted 12 points in the opening quarter, helping the visitors to a 28-17 lead after 12 minutes. Included in that was an alley-oop dunk off a feed from Mo Williams. Griffin had four dunks in the first quarter.
The Clippers shot 65 percent in the second quarter and widened their cushion to 58-34 at the half. LA netted the final nine points of the period, capped by a three-pointer from Caron Butler.
Another Butler three gave the Clippers their largest lead of the night at 74-38 midway through the third. Later in the stanza, Williams delivered a no- look lob to Griffin, who threw down a thunderous two-handed alley-oop jam.
Holding an 87-53 moving to the fourth, the Clippers cruised to their fourth road win in eight tries this season.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
