WASHINGTON -- The Washington Wizards would be wise not suggesting Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan is a one-trick big man. Budda Baker Jersey . If there a need for any pregame chatter, they can focus on their own winning and varied formula.The Wizards (11-14) are playing their best basketball of the season and coming off their best offensive performance of the season. John Wall scored 29 points and Bradley Beal had 25 as Washington dominated the Detroit Pistons 122-108 on Friday night for their second straight win and fourth in five games. Shooting 57.1 percent from the field and hitting 12 of 25 on 3-pointers against the second-best scoring defense in the league was the latest example of the early-season underachievers coming together.I think were getting into a nice little rhythm that were understanding what we want to do as a basketball team on both ends, Wizards coach Scott Brooks said. Were still not where we need to be but I see some progress, I see some belief in each other and thats what its about. Theres a lot of good players and good teams in this league, the common denominator is they play together and for each other. We still are trying to build that chemistry and comradery as a group. I think its starting to pay off.Beal and Wall combined for 15 assists and one turnover. The offensive flow over this recent stretch stems from a renewed focus guarding their opponents.Its been good, we just figured it out, Beal said. To me it has just been on the defensive end. Weve been taking care of guarding guys, and pressuring guys when we need to, and getting stops, and its just making it easier for offense. Weve always believed in our offense, we score over 100-points a game, we trust our system, but when we get stops and defend were a really good team.The Clippers (20-7) are one of the NBAs best teams and Fridays 102-98 victory at the Miami Heat was the latest example. Blake Griffin scored 20 points and Chris Paul had 17, but it was Jordans stat-stuffing work that stole the show.The big man had 12 points, 19 rebounds and three blocks in Los Angeles fourth straight win which Jordan sealed with a putback in the final seconds.This came after Miami center Hassan Whiteside described Jordan as a one who just catches lobs.I just wanted to come out here and get a win, a smiling Jordan told the Los Angeles Times after the victory.Asked if team was trying to feed Jordan in his matchup with Whiteside, Paul said: Cmon, man. Big fella (Jordan) is first team All-NBA, first team All-Defense. He aint got to say nothing.The Clippers rank eighth in scoring defense at 101 points per game, well ahead of the Wizards (106.3). Dorian Johnson Youth Jersey . Miikka Kiprusoff had just announced his retirement after a decade-long run in Calgary and it would be up to Berra and Ramo to fill the void. T. J. Logan Jersey .

AUBURN, Ala. - Taylor Troutman scored in the 70th minute to guide Auburn to a 1-0 victory against Baylor on Sunday afternoon at the Auburn Soccer Complex. The Tigers (5-3-0) endured 147 minutes of delays due to lightning in the surrounding area and a quality opposing side before emerging victorious.It was a day with a lot of adversity with the lightning delay twice, and the really long [stoppage] the second time, said head coach Karen Hoppa. We played a great Baylor team. They play a different style and theyre tough to play against. Im really proud of our team to come out with a result.Six different players recorded shots in the match, including two by Casie Ramsier and Troutman, to total eight. Goalkeeper Sarah Le Beau went the distance between the posts and tallied seven saves en route to her third shutout of the season.Defensively, the trio of Kiana Clark, Karli Gutsche and Haley Gerken rotated in the center of the back line and were key components to not allowing a single one of 13 shots by Baylor (5-3-0) cross the line.It was definitely a team effort, stated Gutsche. We had a lot of people coming in and out of the back and everyone was able to maam up and do what they had to do to get the shutout.Lightning pushed the start time back by 24 minutes and then stopped by just five minutes in. Delays then totaled up to 123 additional minutes before play was resumed.After surviving a bevy of attacks from the Bears, Troutman nearly put the hosts ahead with a lofted shot in the 38th minute, but the opposing goalie was able to making a diving stop to keep it 0-0 heading into halftime. Haason Reddick Youth Jersey. The sophomore from Toms River, N.J. would not be denied in the second period as she netted her first goal of the season in the 70th minute. The goal was set up by Kristen Dodson, who shook a slew of defenders and slotted it to Troutman for the finish into the back of the net.Kristen had a similar run two minutes before [the goal] and I just told her the left side was open, said Troutman. The next play, she passed me a perfect ball right in behind the back line and I finished it one-time. It was great getting my momentum back and be able to help the team win.Troutman then did her part on defense with 16 minutes remaining as she saved a shot off the line to keep the Tigers ahead, 1-0.What a game [Troutman] had, said Hoppa. It was a fantastic game by her. She scored a great goal and saved one off the line. Im really proud of her.The defense held strong in the final 15 minutes and sent Auburn to its fourth non-conference win of the season. The Tigers have now held a winning record against non-league opponents during the regular season in 16 of Hoppas 18 seasons at the helm.Auburn jumps back into SEC play with a match versus South Carolina next Sunday. The ball will get rolling at 6 p.m. at the Auburn Soccer Complex and will be broadcasted on the SEC Network.
