The Los Angeles Clippers (54 - 26) improved their chances of hosting a series in the playoffs with a 94 - 86 win over the Memphis Grizzlies (54 - 26). Marc Gasol suffered a left ankle injury and tried to play through it. He left early in the first half and his availability moving forward is unknown. The Clippers climbed to the three seed in the Western Conference with their fifth straight win. They’re tied with the Grizzlies and five seed San Antonio Spurs. Matt Barnes left briefly with a right foot injury and returned to start the second half. DeAndre Jordan converted an impressive 4 - of - 5 free throws, supplemented by 16 points, 16 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 37 minutes in his attempt to win the Defensive Player of the Year vote. Chris Paul, the league’s leading assist man, recorded 15 points, 14 assists, five rebounds, one steal and one block in 35 minutes. Blake Griffin and J.J. Redick each scored a team - high 18 points, and Jamal Crawford added 11 points off the bench in his second game back from a calf injury. The Grizzlies are still locked into the two seed after the unfortunate loss, possessing the same record as the three seed Clippers and five seed Spurs. Mike Conley missed his second straight game due to a right foot sprain. He participated in warmups, but ultimately didn’t play. Beno Udrih scored 14 points and added three assists in 29 minutes. Zach Randolph did the heavy lifting without Conley and Gasol with team - highs of points (21), rebounds (13), assists (5) and steals (3) in 39 minutes. The Clippers end the season with a back - to - back set beginning Monday against the Denver Nuggets, their final home game of the regular season. The Grizzlies conclude a three - game road trip Monday against the Golden State Warriors.
