MEMPHIS, April 6 (UPI) -- Blake Griffin scored 15 points to go with 14 rebounds Tuesday and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied for an 82-81 victory over Memphis.

Trailing by 13 in the third quarter, the Clippers heated up and went on a 19-5 run to get back in the game.

Mo Williams (16 points) drove into the lane for a layup and converted on the 3-point play in the final minute to put Los Angeles ahead for good, and the Clippers went on to snap a three-game losing streak to the Grizzlies.

Chris Kaman added 14 points and seven rebounds for Los Angeles.

Mike Conley scored 20 points for Memphis, which lost for the first time in five games but maintained its three-game lead over Houston for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff seed.
