Clippers 91, Grizzlies 87: DeAndre Jordan scored all 16 of his points in the first half and had a big block in the closing seconds as visiting Los Angeles regained control of its destiny for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The Clippers, who have won five in a row and have two games left, are now tied with Memphis - both teams sitting a half-game behind third-place Denver. Los Angeles owns the tiebreaker with the Grizzlies and would open a possible first-round postseason matchup at home.

Chris Paul had 13 points and Blake Griffin chipped in 12 for the Clippers. Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph combined for 34 points and 27 rebounds to lead Memphis, which had won 13 straight at home.

Neither team led by more than six points and there were 14 ties before Memphis held a 77-72 advantage early in the fourth. Reserves Grant Hill and Eric Bledsoe had five points apiece as Los Angeles put together a 14-0 run that made it 86-77 midway through the fourth.

The Grizzlies battled back to within one point on two occasions down the stretch, but never caught up as they made only one basket and hit just 2-of-5 free throws in the final 4:47. After Paul's free throw made it 89-87 with 18 seconds left, Jordan blocked Mike Conley's shot with 12 ticks remaining and the Grizzlies turned the ball over with five seconds remaining to all but seal it.
