Salt Lake City, UT (SportsNetwork.com) - Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford each scored 21 points as the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Utah Jazz 94-89 on Wednesday night. Blake Griffin had 17 points and seven rebounds for the Clippers, who have won 13 straight over the Jazz. Los Angeles, which opened up an eight-game road trip, has won six straight overall. We say create your own energy, said Paul of how they were able to build momentum. Something we always say before the game and stuff like that. It comes from getting consecutive stops. Enes Kanter paced Utah with 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Derrick Favors contributed 18 points with nine rebounds and Gordon Hayward added 11 points in the loss. The Jazz were in front by two when Los Angeles went on a 9-2 run that Paul capped with a jumper for a 90-85 lead with 3:06 left in the game. Griffin was whistled for a technical foul moments later after committing a shooting foul on Kanter and Utah converted two of the three free throws to make it a one-possession game. Kanter then fouled Griffin hard at the other end, with the latter making both from the line to keep the Clippers ahead. Matt Barnes came up with a big block of Kanter that ultimately forced the Jazz into a shot-clock violation with under a minute left. Joe Ingles and Trey Burke then both missed 3-pointers in the final seconds as the Clippers held on. We had some clean looks. I thought our execution could have been better in a couple of situations, Jazz coach Quin Snyder said of the fourth quarter. Utah used a 12-2 run early in the first to turn a six-point deficit into a 14-10 game. The Jazz led 26-24 after 12 minutes. The game remained close in the second with neither team leading by more than six. Ingles tied the score with over a minute left in the first half, and Kanter made 1-of-2 from the line to give Utah a 50-49 lead at the break.

Off-Season Game Plan looks at a Wild team that has a nice mix of proven veterans along with young, inexpensive talent on the rise. When the Wild signed Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, making a big splash in the summer of 2012, it set the franchise on a path to being more competitive, but a big reason that they have been so competitive is the contributions of young players who still have more to give. Orlando Arcia Brewers Jersey . The England international had both goals in TFCs season-opening 2-1 win over the Seattle Sounders on Saturday.The NFL players union on Thursday appealed the leagues suspension of Adrian Peterson and demanded an independent, neutral arbitrator hears the case.In a letter to its player representatives and executive committee obtained by The Associated Press, the NFLPA called Commissioner Roger Goodells punishment unprecedented, arbitrary, and unlawful.The union also accused Troy Vincent, the NFLs executive vice-president of football operations, of telling Peterson that the games he missed on a special exempt list would count as time served toward a suspension.League officials declined comment to the AP.Goodell on Tuesday suspended Peterson without pay for the rest of the season and told him he will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15 for his violation of the NFL personal conduct policy. Peterson pleaded no contest Nov. 4 to misdemeanour reckless assault in Texas for injuries to his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch.Peterson has said he intended no harm to his son, only discipline. The 2012 NFL MVP played just one game for the Minnesota Vikings this season and was paid part of his $11.75 million during the leave. He will keep the money accrued while on the exempt liist.dddddddddddd But the NFLs punishment now amounts to a 14-game ban, with six unpaid weeks. Thats the equivalent of a fine of more than $4.1 million.Goodell announced Aug. 28 tougher punishment for players involved with domestic violence. That action stemmed from a torrent of criticism for the initial leniency toward former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, who was caught on camera hitting his then-fiancee and knocking her unconscious on an elevator in an Atlantic City casino. Rice was later suspended indefinitely and recently had his appeal heard by an arbitrator.According to the enhanced policy, first offences of assault, battery or domestic violence bring a six-game suspension.But the union is arguing that the new policy was enacted after the incident had already occurred and shouldnt be retroactively applied to Petersons conduct in May 2014.The union also claims the NFL is making up the process and punishment as it goes — a blatant violation of the CBA.___AP Pro Football Writer Dave Campbell contributed to this report.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi ' ' '
