Clippers put end to Thunder’s roll

LOS ANGELES -- Blake Griffin's jaw-dropping one-handed jam over Kendrick Perkins sent Los Angeles Clippers fans into a frenzy, fired up his teammates, lit up Twitter and burned the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Griffin had 22 points to go with Chris Paul's 26 points and 14 assists in a 112-100 victory Monday that snapped the Thunder's four-game winning streak in a matchup of division leaders.

Griffin downplayed his monster move after the game, a sly smile only briefly breaking his serious expression.

"CP commands so much attention out there. He came off the pick-and-roll and he hit me in stride," Griffin said.

Paul added: "I told Blake after the game, 'Thanks for letting me be part of that.' "

DeAndre Jordan grabbed Griffin from behind in a celebratory bear hug as the basket was replayed over and over in the third quarter. Jordan, who had 11 points and 11 rebounds, couldn't help himself.

"I was shocked. I didn't know what to do, so I just grabbed him. I hit him kind of hard," he said. "I'm going to go home and watch it again. It's probably going to be the screensaver on my phone."

Griffin said he knew he'd made an impression judging by the crowd's raucous response. Then he felt Jordan.

"He armlocked me," Griffin said. "I couldn't breathe."

Caron Butler also had 22 points and Chauncey Billups scored 13 as the Pacific-leading Clippers dunked with high-flying abandon against the team with the NBA's best record.

Kevin Durant had 36 points and 13 rebounds, and Russell Westbrook added 31 for the Northwest-leading Thunder (16-4).

Griffin's monster mash had everyone talking and tweeting, but the Clippers put together a stunning sequence going into halftime.

They shocked the Thunder with four consecutive 3-pointers in less than a minute to lead 64-46. The flurry by Mo Williams (two), Butler (one) and Billups (one) stopped the Thunder's 11-2 run that had drawn them within six points.
