Derrick Favors chipped in 19 points and Trevor Booker scored 15 off the bench. We did a good job of fighting back, said Booker. We made a (few) errors, (some) miscommunication and they capitalized on it. The Clippers never trailed. Griffin had 13 points in the first quarter and Crawford hit consecutive 3s to cap a 10-0 burst that gave them a 20-point lead. It was 35-18 going into the second quarter and got as close as five points at the end of an extended 17-2 run by the Jazz, keyed by five points apiece from Dante Exum, Hayward and Booker. LA took a 62-50 lead into halftime and led by as many as 21 points in the third quarter. The Jazz trailed 90-76 entering the fourth and were never closer than 12 down the stretch.

They were at 7-under 137 going into the weekend at the Tiburon Golf Club.Morgan Pressel, who rallied on the back nine Thursday to overcome a rugged start, shot a 66 and was one shot out of the lead.All of them would love to win the LPGA Tour season finale because its a big title with a $500,000 check for first place. None has a mathematical chance at the $1 million bonus for winning the points-based Race to CME Globe.And thats where Wie comes in.Wie, who captured her first major this year at Pinehurst No. 2 in the U.S. Womens Open, is No. 4 in the Race to CME Globe. Only the top three players — Stacy Lewis, Inbee Park and 17-year-old Lydia Ko — can win the $1 million bonus simply by winning the tournament.Wie needs a little bit of help, only she did most of the heavy lifting.Even though she made bogey on the par-5 opening hole that irritated her, the 25-year-old from Hawaii bounced back with her eagle on No. 7, birdies on the par 5s and a score that put her only two shots out of the lead.All I want is an opportunity, a chance, Wie said. Im really proud of myself for giving myself that today. I just want to go out there tomorrow and put myself in a great position for Sunday. Thats all I want, and thats all Im asking for. Whatever happens, happens.She did get some help from the top three.Lewis, who opened with a 69 and was only three shots out of the lead, struggled with distance control in the blustery conditions and had to chip in for birdie and make a tough par putt on the 18th to salvage a 74. He was six shots out of the lead.Park couldnt get a putt to drop. She also had a 74. Ko had another 71 aand was five shots behind. Will Richardson Jersey. Six back is not a horrible position, Lewis said. I dont think anybody is running away with this thing. I think its going to end up being pretty bunched up at the end and probably a playoff on Sunday. Im right where I need to be. Im trying not to think about player of the year and all that stuff. Its up there, but trying not to think about it.Lewis can sweep all the significant awards at this LPGA Tour finale provided she finishes ahead of Park, and so far she is three shots ahead. Not to be forgotten is that $1 million packaged in $100 in a glass case that they posed with on the eve of the tournament.Along with prize money, the winner of the Race to CME Globe will receive the largest single-day payoff in the history of womens golf.The first step is to try to catch the leaders.Ciganda was home in Spain last week when she called Olazabal and asked him for a lesson.We stay there like three hours on the putting green, just hitting putts, Ciganda said. He told me a few things and it seems like its working, so Im pretty happy. I have to thank him. Then we played last Friday before coming here, so it was really nice to play. Hes so passionate about golf. It just his life.And how did that match turn out? Ciganda teamed with a Challenge Tour player in Europe, their best ball against Olazabal.We won on the last hole, she said. But it was tough.Pressel was 3 over through 10 holes in the opening round when she battled back for a 72. She was headed for another slow start Friday until knocking in a 15-foot par putt on the third hole, and then she was on her way to the best round of the day.Granada spent most her time swapping birdies with bogeys, though she stayed atop the leaderboard.Sarah Jane Smith (69) and Sandra Gal (71) joined Wie at 5-under 139, while So Yeon Ryu had another 70 and was three shots out of the lead. Ryu is at No. 5 in the Race to CME Globe and is on the fringe on contending for the big bonus.The weekend is important for Wie to keep moving forward, and for Lewis, Park and Ko to start making up ground.You can make up a lot of ground quickly, Granada said. But your game has to be on. The toughness of the course will show it.
