The Memphis Grizzlies will try to even their Western Conference quarterfinals series with the Los Angeles Clippers today in Game 4 at the FedExForum. The Grizzlies defended their home-court on Thursday with a 94-82 victory. After a heartbreaking loss in Game 2, when Chris Paul scored the winning layup, the Grizzlies played the great defense they have all season. Memphis led the NBA in opponents scoring during the regular season. The defense was and is led by center Marc Gasol, who had 16 points and eight rebounds on Thursday. He was named the NBAs Defensive Player of the Year this week and helped hold the Clippers to 38.8 percent shooting in Game 3. Fellow big Zach Randolph was also spectacular in Game 3 with 27 points and 11 boards. "We go as they go. They clogged up the paint and do work and feed off of each other," said Memphis guard Tony Allen. "Thats what trickled down the bench to the starters. We go as they go. If we can keep up like that throughout the series, well have our chance." One of the huge defensive efforts in Game 3 came against Paul. He only had eight points on 4-for-11 shooting. In fact, Paul had more rebounds (6) than assists (4) and didnt attempt a free throw. "We didnt make any adjustments, we just played better," said Memphis head coach Lionel Hollins. "Chris Paul is a great player. No matter what you do, he is going to figure out a way to get where he wants to go. I just think that he didnt make as many shots as he has made in the past and we got a couple of turnovers on him." Paul struggled, but has a different mindset already for Game 4. "Ive just got to be more aggressive," Paul said. "I played 30-something minutes and didnt shoot one free throw. Ive just got to wait and see. I dont ever know whats going to happen before I get into a game." Blake Griffin led the Clippers in scoring with 16 points. Matt Barnes (12) and Jamal Crawford (10) both had double figures off the bench and Caron Butler (10) and Chauncey Billups (11) also cracked the 10-point mark. Another problem for the Clippers on Thursday was turnovers. L.A. committed 18 turnovers in Game 3, which led to 17 points for the Grizzlies. "Its hard to run if you dont have the ball," said Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro. "It is hard to play with any type of tempo if you dont have the ball. So rebounds, we turned the ball over too much, we ran the clock too much, and that is whats going to happen." But the whole key is Paul. "It makes it easier for everybody when hes aggressive," Billups said. "And that doesnt mean scoring or shooting that just means being aggressive, getting in there and drawing a double team and kicking [out]." Game 5 is scheduled for Tuesday back in Los Angeles.

WACO, Texas -- When Robert Griffin III arrived at Baylor four years ago with new coach Art Briles, the Bears had never even had a winning season in the Big 12. Standing in the confetti celebration last month after the Bears won their first bowl game in nearly two decades for a 10-win season, the exciting dual-threat quarterback knew in his gut it was time to move on to the next level. Griffin made it official Wednesday, announcing he would skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft after a college career in which he set or tied 54 school records in 41 games. It was a month and a day after RG3 became the first Baylor player to win college footballs highest individual honour. "Obviously you want to leave something better than you found it," Griffin said. "I can say weve done that." It was nearly 2 1/2 minutes after Griffin started talking during his campus news conference that he finally said he was going to the NFL. But, like he said, he has never been good at good-byes. "Its see you later," he said. His public announcement came right after meeting with teammates to inform them of the decision, and Griffin said he broke down in tears after telling them. Griffin had told Briles of his decision when they spoke Tuesday, following up on a conversation from the previous day. "Neither of us broke down, surprisingly," said Griffin, though Briles quickly added with a smile, "Not on the outside." Despite losing the best quarterback in Baylor history, Briles called it a day of celebration for all that Griffin has meant and stood for at Baylor, both on and off the field. "Hes ready, its time," Briles said. "Im excited, and Im happy for Robert, for the way hes conducted himself for four years and the journey he has in front of him." Stanfords Andrew Luck, the Heisman runner-up, and Griffin are likely to be the first two quarterbacks drafted in April. "Its just a tough decision, I love the people at this university," Griffin said. "I love my coach for giving me the chance of being a quarterback and doing the things that weve done." The Bears tied a school record this season with 10 wins -- the other 10-win season was in 1980 during Mike Singletarys senior year. They won their llast six games in 2011, and the record-setting 67-56 victory over Washington in the Alamo Bowl was their first bowl victory since 1992.dddddddddddd Baylor finished ranked No. 13, the first time since 1986 that the Bears were in the final AP poll of the year. When Griffin walked out of the room after his news conference, he was greeted in the hallway by an embrace from school president Ken Starr, who expressed how proud he was of the quarterback. "He is priceless. Hes just matchless in terms of the combination of goodness of character, greatness of skill and his commitment to his university and his teammates," Starr said. "The nation has found Robert to be this very endearing and, as someone said, hes the most interesting person in perhaps all of athletics, but interesting in a positive sense. Its all good, and theres a goodness of character that makes Baylor proud." Griffin arrived at Baylor as a 17-year-old freshman in January 2008 after graduating from high school a semester early. He completed an undergraduate degree in political science in December 2010 and has been working on his masters degree in communications, which he said he will complete with a thesis either this spring or summer. Baylors career passing leader completed 800 of 1,192 passes (67 per cent) for 10,366 yards with 78 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. His 2,254 yards and 33 TDs rushing are records for a Bears quarterback. He had another season of eligibility remaining because he got a medical redshirt after he tore the ACL in his right knee in the third game of the 2009 season. He said any fear of getting hurt again had no impact on his decision to leave. Griffin completed 291-of-402 passes (72 per cent) for 4,293 yards and 37 TDs with only six interceptions this season, when he also ran for 699 yards and 10 more touchdowns. He was the nations second-most efficient passer with a 189.48 rating, just behind Wisconsins Russell Wilson, whose 191.78 rating came with 93 fewer pass attempts. "We definitely brought a lot of excitement here to Baylor thats been warranted for a long time," he said. "Weve gotten to new heights at Baylor that havent been seen in a long time, but the climb isnt over. ... I will always be a Baylor Bear, no matter what." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
