Serge Ibaka added 15 points for the Thunder, who had their starting five together for just the second time since Christmas Day. Westbrook had sat out two of the previous three games and has missed 34 games this season with a variety of injuries. Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, and Chris Paul added 25 points and eight assists for the Clippers, who could have owned the tiebreaker over the Thunder if they had won. Instead, the teams split their season series 2-2. Los Angeles rallied from a 15-point deficit in the fourth to twice get within a point, but the Clippers only lead was by one point in the first quarter. The Clippers big run had them trailing 94-93, with Paul sandwiching 3-pointers around Griffins free throw and DeAndre Jordan dunking off Darren Collisons miss to cap a 14-0 run with 5:03 to play. Jordan finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Griffin missed two free throws that would have tied the game at 97. Westbrooks putback dunk off Durants miss kept the Thunder ahead 99-95. Durants 3-pointer pushed their lead to 102-97 before Collison answered with a 3 to get the Clippers within two. Matt Barnes fouled Durant, who made both for a 104-100 lead. Paul missed the first and made the second free throw with 38 seconds left to keep the Clippers down by three. The final 38 seconds were a free throw contest, with the Thunder making 3 of 4 to close out the win. The Thunder are second in the West standings with four games remaining in the regular season; the Clippers are third with three to play. They could potentially meet in the second round of the playoffs. Oklahoma City opened the third on a 14-4 run, with four different players scoring in extending the lead to 73-58. Durant scored four in a row to push the Thunders lead to 81-64. Defensively, the Thunder forced the Clippers into a mistake-prone, eight-minute stretch that included four turnovers -- two each by Griffin and Paul -- and a series of missed shots. Led by five points from Paul and three by Griffin, the Clippers ran off nine in a row to get within eight before Reggie Jacksons 3-pointer sent the Thunder into the fourth leading 85-73. The Thunder led by 15 points when the Clippers offence put together a 20-10 run to trail 59-54 at halftime. Jordan starred in his own highlight reel, dunking three times, twice off alley-oop passes. Griffin got in a slam of his own and Hedo Turkoglu hit a 3-pointer that beat the shot clock and helped bring the Clippers back within single digits.

Lawrie took advantage of calmer conditions at the Doha Golf Course to make six birdies for an 8-under total of 136 after two rounds of the wind-affected event, which has been shortened to 54 holes. The 43-year-old Scotsman birdied the 16th to move into a tie with Colsaerts and then added another on 18 to take the outright lead. The tournament has been disrupted by wind all week, and organizers were forced to call off Fridays play and reduce the event to three rounds. Dozens of players were forced to stop their rounds after gusts of up to 56 kilometres per hour moved balls and tossed around signs. Conditions improved Saturday but it remained windy. "I played very good again, hitting it beautifully tee to green," said Lawrie, who won the Andalucian Open in 2011 for his first win in nine years. "Any time you play as solidly as that and hit a few putts in there its a fair chance you are going to play well." Lawries could have had an even bigger lead, had he not accidentally dropped his ball on his marker at the 10th green. Since it was unclear whether the ball moved, Lawrie was forced to take a one-shot penalty. It was a similar mistake to that made by Ian Poulter during a two-way playoff at the Dubai World Championship in 2010, when his penalty essentially gave the win to Robert Karlsson of Sweden. "I didnt see it and no one else saw it so you have to take the penalty and kind of kick on," Lawrie said. "Its one of these freak, stupid rules. ... Its like Poulter in Dubai, the same thing. Its one of those many rules that could do with changing a wee bit." Playing in front of Lawrie, Colsaerts also birdied the 18th after a bunker shot that rolled to within a foot of the pin to briefly take the lead. It was one of his six birdies on the day and came after he had one of his two bogeys on the 17th. "I am playing very well even though I think I could have hit closer to some flags," the Belgian said. "I managed quite well, kept the ball in play and didnt do anything stupid." Colsaerts, known for his big hitting, won his ffirst victory on the European Tour last year at the Volvo China Open and then finished fourth at the Volvo Golf Champions in January. #25 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mike James Orange Youth Jersey Elite Alternate Nike NFL. Peter Hanson of Sweden (69) and Ricardo Gonzalez of Argentina (67) were two shots off the lead. James Kingston of South Africa (69) and Simon Kahn of England (68) -- who eagled his final hole -- are three shots back with another 10 players including Jason Day (72), Sergio Garcia (68) and John Daly (73) a further shot back. Third-ranked Lee Westwood (70) and fourth-ranked Martin Kaymer (70) are at 3 under. Hanson, who dropped out of contention with a 78 in the final round in Abu Dhabi, did well to remain in the hunt. He endured a stretch where he had a pair bogeys to finish the front nine and then bogeyed two of three holes on the back before closing out with two birdies on final two holes. "I got off to a great start, 4 under par after seven, and then made some stupid mistakes around the turn, lost a bit of rhythm, and was just trying to hang in there," Hanson said. "It was nice to finish with those two birdies as well to get to 6 under." First-round leader Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (75) couldnt match his nine-birdie performance on Thursday -- ending up with no birdies and three bogies. Daly, the clubhouse leader when play was suspended, started strong with a birdie on the second but had three of his four bogeys on his front nine to drop down the leaderboard. "I didnt hit the tee-balls as good as I did Thursday," Daly said. "But I hung in there. Some of those bogeys I made could have been doubles or triples just as easy." Several big names failed to make the cut, led by Hunter Mahan of the United States who finished at 5-over 149 after poor putting led to four bogeys on his back nine. K.J. Choi was just a shot off the lead Thursday but a 78 that included two double bogeys left him at 2 over for the tournament. Mahan, who made a 27,000-kilometre detour to play in the Middle East for the first time, struggled in the windy conditions from the start and never recovered from an opening-round 74. "I played awful today," Mahan said. "It just didnt happen today. Im going to go home and Ive got three more tournaments coming up and Ive got to get ready for them." wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '
