PORTLAND, Ore. Reshad Jones Youth Jersey . - Will Barton had a career-high 23 points and 10 rebounds and the Portland Trail Blazers downed the Los Angeles Clippers 110-104 in the regular-season finale Wednesday night, with both teams resting key players in advance of the playoffs. Portland, which sat starting forward LaMarcus Aldridge, ends the regular season on a five-game winning streak. Seeded fifth in the Western Conference, Portland will face the Rockets in a first-round series starting Sunday in Houston. Jamal Crawford had 34 points for the Clippers, who didnt play Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. The team set the franchise record for most regular season wins (57) the night before with a victory over Denver. Going into the game the Clippers had a chance to secure the No. 2 seed in the West. But when Oklahoma City defeated Detroit earlier Wednesday, the Clippers sewed up the third seed and will face Golden State in the opening round starting Saturday. Paul, Griffin and J.J. Reddick did not make the trip to Portland. The team had already announced that Griffin would not play when the league suspended him for the game because he had accumulated 16 technical fouls. Griffin was handed the technical in Tuesday nights 117-105 win against the Nuggets. DeAndre Jordan started but he played less than two minutes before he headed to the bench. "I just value rest. And I value health. Period," Rivers said pre-game about resting his stars, even though the seeding hadnt been determined. In addition to Aldridge, the Blazers sat reserve guard Mo Williams. But Portland saw the return of forward Joel Freeland, who hadnt played since Feb. 11 with a sprained MCL in his right knee. The Blazers need Freeland to back up centre Robin Lopez against the Rockets and Dwight Howard. Portland led by as many as 22 points in the first half. Bartons 3-pointer for Portland put the Blazers up 54-37 midway through the second quarter and they went on to lead 68-52 at the half. Portland played its starters all 12 minutes apiece in the first half. Lopez was the only starter who started the second half for the Blazers. Nicolas Batum, Wesley Matthews and Damian Lillard did not play again. The Clippers closed to within 74-73 in the third quarter after Crawford hit a driving layup, two 3-pointers and a free throw. Los Angeles went ahead 81-78 on Matt Barnes 3. Portland reclaimed the lead when Freelands basket with just under 10 minutes left to make it 89-87. Crawford made a 3-pointer that put the Clippers in front 96-94, but Barton answered with his own 3 with 4:37 left. Victor Clavers 3-pointer gave the Blazers a 106-100 lead and all but sealed the win with 1:58 to go. Notes: Lopez was awarded the Blazers Maurice Lucas award for his contributions to the team both on and off the court. ... The Clippers victory over the Nuggets Tuesday was the teams 57th, setting a new franchise record. Minkah Fitzpatrick Youth Jersey . His big 2-minute outburst in the fourth quarter Tuesday night is all that really mattered for the Dallas Mavericks. Jason Taylor Womens Jersey . -- Ryan Millers debut for the St. http://www.authenticdolphinspro.com/Jerome-baker-dolphins-jersey/ . - The Toronto Blue Jays have optioned pitchers Kyle Drabek, Chad Jenkins and Sean Nolin to triple-A Buffalo.IRVING, Texas - Joseph Randle says he goes into every game not really knowing what his workload will be.So the Dallas running back doesnt really see this week as anything unusual, even if he might be taking the place of NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray.The Cowboys dont know if Murray can play Sunday against Indianapolis after breaking his left hand in last weekends victory at Philadelphia. He had a large cast Tuesday, a day after surgery on his left ring finger, but went through some drills in practice Wednesday with a much smaller wrap.While Colts coach Chuck Pagano says his team is practicing as if Murray will play, Randle and Lance Dunbar are preparing for a rare moment in the spotlight.The Cowboys (10-4) are in position to clinch a playoff berth, but facing the possibility of missing the post-season if they lose one of their last two games.I feel like I can get the job done, Randle said. I dont want to let the team down. I know this is a huge game for our season.Randle started twice last season when Murray had a sprained knee, but the Cowboys werent counting so heavily on the running game then.While Randle is averaging 7 yards per carry in spot duty this year, he had 91 yards rushing on 33 carries — a 2.8-yard average — as the featured back against Philadelphia and Detroit.Just have to trust me about getting my job done, said Randle, who has 237 yards rushing.This could be Randles best shot at redemption since a shoplifting arrest in October that got worse for the second-year back. A booking video showed him making disparaging comments about previous legal trouble for receiver Dez Bryant and defensive tackle Josh Brent.Bryant was involved in a domestic violence complaint two years ago, and Brent recently returned to the team after a 10-game suspension for an intoxication manslaughter conviction in the death of teammate Jerry Brown.Not long after police in a Dallas suburb released the video, Randle and Bryantt were arguing on the practice field when tight end Jason Witten intervened. Mark Clayton Womens Jersey. Less than two weeks later, Randle had his most significant play of the season — a 40-yard touchdown run against Jacksonville in London. He also had a 17-yard scoring run on his only carry against Chicago two weeks ago.I just think hes gotten more and more confident, coach Jason Garrett said. Sometimes, that can be challenging when youve been sitting there, sitting there, sitting there watching somebody else play and now its your turn.Dunbar has been waiting since the day of his breakout game for Dallas on Thanksgiving more than a year ago when he had a team-high 82 rushing yards, but sustained a season-ending knee injury in the same game.During the preseason, it looked as though Dunbar would have a vital role as a change-of-pace back under new play-caller Scott Linehan. But most of his few opportunities have come in the passing game.Its been mentally tough, said Dunbar, who has 207 yards receiving and just 91 rushing with no touchdowns. Im a pretty mentally tough guy. I cant worry about all those things. If I do then it will affect how I play when Im out there.The Cowboys also face the possibility of being without both starters on the right side of the offensive line in tackle Doug Free and rookie guard Zack Martin. Both have ankle injuries, and Free also has been dealing with a foot problem.Regardless of whos trying to create the holes and whos trying to run through them, centre Travis Frederick says the jobs the same.Its not as different as you might think, he said. Because its really hard for us to be in the huddle and say, OK, Josephs in so we need to adjust it this way. Were not going to do that. Were going to do our job, and hes going to do his job and hes good at it.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler ' ' '
