If you were to guess that the Los Angeles Clippers would defeat the Boston Celtics at TD Banknorth Garden, you'd figure that All-Star forward Blake Griffin went nuts. But Griffin had just 12 points on 4-14 shooting as Kevin Garnett effectively shut the dunk machine down. Griffin's running mate, though, had Nenad Krstic defending him. That did not go remotely well for the Celtics.

DeAndre Jordan scored 21 points on 9-10 "shooting" and added nine rebounds as the Clippers shocked the Celtics 108-103. The Clippers led by as many as 23, and held on despite some serious pressure from Boston at the end of the game. Mo Williams was the closer, scoring nine points in the final seven minutes and 28 for the game. Seven of Jordan's makes ended up being dunks -- another was a lay-up, and there was also a tip. This violent jam off the Ryan Gomes inbounds might have been Jordan's most vicious.

Boston now leads the Bulls by just 1-1/2 games for the top spot in the East.
