Blake Griffin's last visit to his hometown resulted in one of the most forgettable games of a young career that's already been filled with highlights. Chris Paul sent him out as a winner this time. Paul scored 31 points, including the game-winning shot on a layup with 8.8 seconds left, and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 100-98 on Wednesday night to stay in position for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
