Owner Real Deal Posted March 16, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 LOS ANGELES -- Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan spent most of the fourth quarter cheerleading from the bench, while reserves Mo Williams, Eric Bledsoe and Reggie Evans and kept the Atlanta Hawks at bay. Williams scored 25 points and Bledsoe added 14 on a relatively quiet night by Griffin and Paul, leading the Clippers to a 96-82 victory over the Hawks on Wednesday. And no one was happier about what transpired than Blake and Paul, the two All-Stars. "They're just as much a part of the offense as everybody else," Griffin said. "They had the opportunity tonight and everybody stepped up and played extremely well. It's good, not only for our confidence, but also rest-wise -- to be able to conserve some of those minutes down the stretch because of the number of games we have coming up. "For us to see those guys come in and play like that is great." Griffin had 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Paul contributed 13 points and nine assists. The victory kept the Clippers within two games of the Lakers in the race for the Pacific Division lead. "It was a must-win," Williams said. "We put a lot of pressure on ourselves for this game because we needed it really bad. So we came out and did what we had to do against a good team. They're a hard matchup, especially with their big guards."http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120314_ATL@LAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
