The Los Angeles Clippers ended Memphis' 2011-12 season with a gritty win in Game 7 of the Western Conference quarterfinals. They began this season the same way -- with another solid defensive performance against the Grizzlies -- and instant offense from their new supersub, Jamal Crawford. Crawford scored 29 points in 30 minutes in his first official game with his new club, and the Clippers converted 21 turnovers into 29 points Wednesday night in a 101-92 victory that extended the Grizzlies' NBA-record streak of opening-night losses to 12.
