The top PBS drama of all time is wrapping up, and according to show creator Julian Fellowes, all questions will be answered. However, with no one show breaking the seven million barrier, viewing figures as a whole are down on previous years.
It was the Clippers’ first game without Griffin, who did not travel with the team after suffering a partially torn left quadriceps tendon against the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day. The Clippers have won 14 of their last 15 games with the Jazz and are 1-1 this season.
The Redskins will keep Kirk Cousins, but for how much?
Bottom line, like anybody else in any line of work, in any job you have, you want to be where you’re wanted, and I’m no different. He thinks Chip might have been conserving Murray, and limiting the film with which opponents can study how they use him.
“I thought we moved the ball”, Pierce said of the solid shooting in the second half. “He’s an All-Star. He’s an MVP candidate, so it’s going to have to come from a number of guys”. In the second half, the Clippers took control of the game thanks to the hot hands of Redick and Paul Pierce who lead all scorers off the bench with 20 points. Utah G Joe Ingles scored a season-high 14 points…. Clippers coach Doc Rivers was forced to pull his reserves, while Lakers coach Byron Scott kept his out there and left Bryant on the sidelines – even as the Los Angeles crowd chanted Bryant’s name. The switch worked to perfection.
Freezing rain and wind possible Monday
New Year’s Day is expected to be mostly cloudy, with a high near 35, and the low will fall to 24 overnight. The time frame most likely for sleet and freezing rain is Monday afternoon and evening.
“We just wanted to win”, Gasol said, later adding: “We just want to be more consistent, try to play a whole game of good basketball”.
Bryant was referring to another song continually played at the Garden that series – “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” by a Massachusetts-born punk band.
Pierce and Redick had combined to make just one 3-pointer in the first half before exploding in the third quarter with three 3-pointers apiece. He had been sitting too long, coach Bryon Scott said. “You just got to communicate at the end of the game if you’re switching all those screens and we didn’t”. The players on the court, if just for a second, hung their heads.

The Clippers traded punches with the Jazz down the stretch, but three consecutive three-pointers by Redick and Pierce iced the game away. His final basket was a 3 that tied it at 108 with 2:27 left. Kristaps Porzingis had 16 points and 12 rebounds. A lack of offense has been the biggest contributor to that mediocre record, as the Grizzlies’ 95.9 points per game eclipses only two-win Philadelphia. Despite the soreness, he plans to play Monday against the Hornets, since, as an Eastern Conference team, it will be the Lakers only visit to Charlotte. Rookie D’Angelo Russell followed an 18-point effort in Wednesday’s 120-85 loss to Oklahoma City with 16 against the Clippers, while second-year forward Julius Randle scored 11 fourth-quarter points to lead Friday’s rally attempt. The Thunder trailed as late as the 8:13 mark of the fourth quarter before taking control with an 11-2 run that included seven of Enes Kanter’s 21 points. Miami Heat guard Dwayne Wade is second among active players with 277, including 19 in a 94-88 overtime victory over the New Orelans Pelicans Friday, third all- time. Favors led the way with 17 points and nine boards.
