GAME RECAP
MVP
Blake Griffin, Clippers
The same guy who has turned playmaker in Chris Paul's absence didn't get a single assist, but his 26 points and 13 rebounds were good enough on a night when DeAndre Jordan also delivered a double-double.
BY THE NUMBERS
2-10 The Wolves' record in their last 12 games.
16 Games since the Wolves had 12 players healthy for a game. That last time was Dec. 26 against Houston.
8 Games in the Clippers' road trip that began Wednesday.
