AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Theres something about the Detroit Pistons that seems to bring out DeAndre Jordans best dunks. Jordan had 16 points and 21 rebounds -- dunking seven times with a layup -- and the Los Angeles Clippers breezed to a 112-103 victory over the Pistons on Monday. Jordan threw down a memorable dunk on Detroits Brandon Knight last March. Knight is no longer on the Pistons, but Jordan put on another highlight show in this meeting against Detroit big men Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe. "We knew we had to bring it," Jordan said. Detroits Josh Smith had his own explanation. "We didnt put up a resistance," Smith said. "They had transition 3s, open looks at 3s and they were getting layups in transition and throwing lobs and we just let them have everything. I dont know what happened." Jordan made his first seven shots. Blake Griffin added 25 points and Jamal Crawford scored 26 for the Clippers, who are now 6-2 since losing star point guard Chris Paul to a shoulder injury. J.J. Redick added 20 points for Los Angeles, including two four-point plays when the Pistons fouled him beyond the arc. Rodney Stuckey scored 29 points for Detroit and Smith added 24, but the Pistons got almost nothing from their starting backcourt. Brandon Jennings went scoreless and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored only six points. Jordan dunked four times in the first quarter alone. The Clippers led 64-53 at halftime after shooting 66 per cent from the field. "Theyve got to be able to step up with J.J., Jamal, Matt (Barnes), guys like that," Jordan said. "So I was open a lot at the rim early." Jordan has six double-doubles in the last seven games, and his most impressive dunk of the day was probably a one-handed alley-oop from Redick in the third quarter. Jordans eyes were around rim level on that one, which gave Los Angeles an 82-67 lead. "Thats the way they play. They pound the ball inside, and they are always looking for the lob," Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks said. "They dont usually get as many of them as they did tonight, but thats what they do." Redick bounced back after a 4-for-17 showing against Indiana on Saturday. His first four-point play put the Clippers up 38-33 in the second quarter. His second came in the third, after the Pistons had cut the lead to six and looked ready for a potential run. "Thats my job -- to knock down some shots," Redick said. "I think we played really well in that second quarter, and then in that third quarter we had another good stretch." The last player with two four-point plays in one game was Crawford, who did it for Golden State against Denver on March 28, 2009, according to STATS. "I figured hed probably done it before," Redick said. "Hes the master." Once the Clippers pulled away, about the only fun moment for most of the crowd came when a fan seated courtside was drenched by a drink after the ball went sailing out of bounds right at him. He seemed to take the mishap in good spirits, and the game was delayed briefly while the floor in front of him was cleaned. Detroit trailed by as many as 20 points in the fourth. The Pistons cut the deficit to nine late in the game, but Jordan punctuated a terrific day with yet another alley-oop dunk. "It was a good performance. It wasnt a great performance," Griffin said. "I thought we relaxed too much at certain times. In the fourth quarter, we should have done a better job." NOTES: Caldwell-Pope fouled Redick on both four-point plays. ... Jordan finished 8 of 11 from the field and 0 for 6 on free throws. ... Jennings missed all seven of his shots from the field, going scoreless for only the second time in 330 career games. It also happened in March, when he was with Milwaukee. ... The Pistons dropped to 7-14 at home this season. They are 10-10 on the road. Andrew Cashner Jersey . Third-place Madrid fell behind and settled for a 2-2 draw earlier at Osasuna in a match both sides finished with 10 men, and Barcelona didnt let the chance escape. Barcelona, still without the injured Lionel Messi, again turned to Neymar after his hat trick against Celtic in the Champions League on Wednesday to convert a penalty on the half-hour mark and restore the lead in the 68th after Villarreal levelled. Chris Davis Jersey . Bjoerndalen broke the record he shared with cross-country skiing great Bjoern Daehlie, also matching his fellow Norwegians record of eight gold medals. Bjoerndalen earlier won gold in Sochi in the mens sprint biathlon. http://www.theoriolesteamshop.com/Orioles-Eddie-Murray-Kids-Jersey/ . The stress, the waiting, the whispers about whether he doped during his stellar cycling career, all of it ended when - after nearly two years - federal prosecutors closed an investigation of him last week without bringing any charges. Mark Trumbo Jersey . The Cottagers last victory came in a 2-1 home win over West Ham when Rene Meulensteen was still in charge. Since then, a miserable run of seven defeats and two draws has seen the club part with the Dutch coach and replace him with German Felix Magath. Jim Palmer Jersey . INJURIES - Reds RF Jay Bruce is facing knee surgery for a torn meniscus and it could cost him a month of playing time. Chris Heisey, who has shown some pop (43 home runs, .SEATTLE - Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson sat at a table placed on the San Francisco 49ers logo at the 50-yard-line, chomping down on turkey in a made-for-TV moment.It was the latest jab in whats been the best rivalry in the NFC.That rivalry between Seattle and San Francisco, and what its been the last three seasons, could be at an end after the Seahawks host the 49ers on Sunday. San Francisco (7-6) must win its final three games — and get some help — to make the playoffs and continue a remarkable run of success since Jim Harbaugh arrived as head coach.Couple those slim playoff hopes with the uncertainty regarding Harbaughs future in San Francisco and Sunday could be the close of this chapter of the rivalry.Its tough man. The last three years, NFC championship the first year, Super Bowl, NFC championship, and now this year theyre making it difficult for us, San Francisco running back Frank Gore said. Weve had ups and downs. The games we should have won we didnt take control of.The evolution of the rivalry started with Seattle trying to emulate San Francisco, then accomplishing what the 49ers couldnt and winning a Super Bowl. Theyve been among the best teams in the NFC since Harbaugh and Pete Carroll took over their respective teams, but appear headed in opposite directions.While the 49ers are on the brink of playoff elimination, Seattles three-game win streak has it in a position that victories in the final three games would earn the NFC West title.(As) players we have a great respect for those guys, Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. Its hyped-up more so for the fans. The fans have this negativity toward each other, where the players, we have a mutual respect.Seattle (9-4) put itself in that position of control largely because off Thanksgiving night, a thorough 19-3 win that was so embarrassing for the home team that 49ers CEO Jed York issued a public apology on Twitter to the fans. Adding to the pain, the two interceptions thrown by Colin Kaepernick were both taken away by Sherman, their No. 1 nemesis.Weve definitely helped out (Shermans) stat sheet the past couple games, San Francisco offensive co-ordinator Greg Roman said.Heres what else to watch for as the Seahawks go for a third straight regular-season home win over the 49ers:HOUSE OF HORRORS: The past three trips to Seatttle have proven mostly forgettable for the 49ers.dddddddddddd It started at the end of the 2012 season when Seattle routed them 42-13. Then in Week 2 of the 2013 season, the Seahawks rolled 29-3.But Sunday will be the first time back in CenturyLink Field for the 49ers since Januarys NFC championship game.It was a great night at the stadium, memorable for the fans, the players, and the coaches because it was a perfect night of championship football and were fortunate to come out on the (winning) end, Carroll said.LOCKDOWN: The past three weeks have been a return to what became the norm for Seattles defence. The Seahawks have allowed 507 combined yards in those games. Thats the fourth fewest allowed by any team during a three-game span since 2006. But none of the other three that allowed fewer yards faced the same level of competition as Seattles wins over the Cardinals (9-1 at the time), 49ers (7-4) and Eagles (9-3).The Seahawks can become the first team since the 2011 Texans to hold three straight teams under 200 total yards against the 49ers.KAPS NIGHTMARE: Kaepernick has never enjoyed playing in Seattle. In his two regular-season starts, Kaepernick has thrown four interceptions, completed 50 per cent of his passes and has a passer rating of 47.1, the lowest at any road stadium. In the NFC championship game, Kaepernick was solid until the fourth quarter, when he threw two interceptions.It is a different atmosphere, but I feel like its like anything you do. The more you do it, the more youre there, the more comfortable you get with it, Kaepernick said. So, when we get up there, this offence should be fully prepared for what to expect.FIND THE QB: San Francisco was able to get pressure on Wilson two weeks ago, but that pass rush was nonexistent last week against Oakland. Derek Carr was sacked only once and had plenty of time to pass most of the game. The 49ers were credited with only two quarterback hits and the lack of pressure allowed Carr to throw for three touchdowns and complete 22 of 28 passes.Cranked up in the pass rush? Its going to be needed, Harbaugh said. I think we have the guys to do it. Look forward to a better performance in that area.___AP Sports Writer Janie McCauley contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Celtics Jerseys Wholesale Nets Jerseys Cheap Knicks Jerseys Cheap Stitched 76ers Jerseys Raptors Jerseys China Cheap Bulls Jerseys Wholesale Cavaliers Jerseys Pistons Jerseys China Pacers Jerseys China Cheap Bucks Jerseys Online Wholesale Hawks Jerseys Cheap Hornets Jerseys Wholesale Heat Jerseys Cheap Magic Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Wizards Jerseys Nuggets Jerseys China Timberwolves Jerseys China Cheap Thunder Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Blazers Jerseys Wholesale Jazz Jerseys Cheap Warriors Jerseys For Sale Cheap Clippers Jerseys Lakers Jerseys China Wholesale Suns Jerseys Cheap Kings Jerseys Authentic Cheap Mavericks Jerseys Rockets Jerseys China Cheap Grizzlies Jerseys Wholesale Pelicans Jerseys Spurs Jerseys China ' ' '
