WASHINGTON -- The Washington Wizards would be wise not suggesting Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan is a one-trick big man. If there a need for any pregame chatter, they can focus on their own winning and varied formula.The Wizards (11-14) are playing their best basketball of the season and coming off their best offensive performance of the season. John Wall scored 29 points and Bradley Beal had 25 as Washington dominated the Detroit Pistons 122-108 on Friday night for their second straight win and fourth in five games. Shooting 57.1 percent from the field and hitting 12 of 25 on 3-pointers against the second-best scoring defense in the league was the latest example of the early-season underachievers coming together.I think were getting into a nice little rhythm that were understanding what we want to do as a basketball team on both ends, Wizards coach Scott Brooks said. Were still not where we need to be but I see some progress, I see some belief in each other and thats what its about. Theres a lot of good players and good teams in this league, the common denominator is they play together and for each other. We still are trying to build that chemistry and comradery as a group. I think its starting to pay off.Beal and Wall combined for 15 assists and one turnover. The offensive flow over this recent stretch stems from a renewed focus guarding their opponents.Its been good, we just figured it out, Beal said. To me it has just been on the defensive end. Weve been taking care of guarding guys, and pressuring guys when we need to, and getting stops, and its just making it easier for offense. Weve always believed in our offense, we score over 100-points a game, we trust our system, but when we get stops and defend were a really good team.The Clippers (20-7) are one of the NBAs best teams and Fridays 102-98 victory at the Miami Heat was the latest example. Blake Griffin scored 20 points and Chris Paul had 17, but it was Jordans stat-stuffing work that stole the show.The big man had 12 points, 19 rebounds and three blocks in Los Angeles fourth straight win which Jordan sealed with a putback in the final seconds.This came after Miami center Hassan Whiteside described Jordan as a one who just catches lobs.I just wanted to come out here and get a win, a smiling Jordan told the Los Angeles Times after the victory.Asked if team was trying to feed Jordan in his matchup with Whiteside, Paul said: Cmon, man. Big fella (Jordan) is first team All-NBA, first team All-Defense. He aint got to say nothing.The Clippers rank eighth in scoring defense at 101 points per game, well ahead of the Wizards (106.3).

The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play.

Eric Sogard Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. MANCHESTER, England -- Fiery striker Diego Costa used his aggression in the right way to keep Chelseas winning run going in the English Premier League on Sunday.Costa muscled West Bromwich Albion defender Gareth McAuley off the ball before cutting inside and curling a shot into the top corner in the 76th minute to seal a 1-0 win for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.Chelsea has won its last nine matches in the league -- the teams best run since 2009 -- to power to the top of the standings and Costa has scored in seven of them. The Spain international is the top scorer in the Premier League with 12 goals.Last season, Costa -- a striker who constantly plays on the edge -- appeared to be more interested in picking fights than scoring goals and it hurt Chelsea, which finished 10th in a dismal defense of its title.Fast forward to this season and Costa is leading Chelseas revival under coach Antonio Conte, who reacted to the winning goal by punching the air in delight and jumping into the arms of two members of the coaching staff.Since Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation following a 3-0 loss at Arsenal on Sept. 24, Chelsea hasnt dropped a point and is three points clear of second-placed Arsenal.Heres what else happened on Sunday:---LIVERPOOL 2, WEST HAM 2Liverpool dropped six points behind Chelsea after conceding more sloppy goals against West Ham.Under-fire goalkeeper Loris Karius, who was criticized for his fumble that gifted Bournemouth an injury-time winner last weekend, got a hand to Dimitri Payets 27th-minute free kick but failed to keep it out as West Ham canceled out Adam Lallanas early goal at Anfield.Liverpool center back Joel Matip then allowed a long ball down the middle to get through to Michail Antonio, who prodded a finish past a static Karius to put the visitors ahead in the 39th.Another mistake, this time from West Ham goalkeeper Darren Randolph, earned Liverpool a point. Randolph flapped at Sadio Manes cross and the ball fell to the feet of Divock Origi, who tapped home from close range in thee 48thLiverpool manager Juergen Klopp said the goals his team conceded could have been avoided.ddddddddddddDefense is the area where Liverpool seem to be most vulnerable this season as the team fights for the title.---MANCHESTER UNITED 1, TOTTENHAM 0After being slowly integrated at United, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is looking the part and scored the goal in a significant win for Jose Mourinhos team against a rival for Champions League qualification.Mkhitaryan raced onto Ander Herreras through-ball and drove home a rising shot in the 29th minute for his first Premier League goal. In his last four games in all competitions, Mkhitaryan has scored two goals and set up two others, underling his growing importance to United.An ankle injury that forced him off in the 85th minute will set back his progress, though. Mourinho expects the Armenian to be out for around two weeks.United has had problems closing out games this season but encountered few worries against Spurs, whose in-form striker Harry Kane barely threatened.United is three points below fifth-placed Tottenham and six adrift of Manchester City, which occupies the fourth and final Champions League place.---SOUTHAMPTON 1, MIDDLESBROUGH 0Sofiane Boufal showed just why Southampton broke its transfer record to sign him in the offseason.The Morocco forward struck from 25 meters for his first Premier League goal since joining from French club Lille for 16 million pounds ($21 million) in August.Southampton won despite coach Claude Puel rotating his team as he deals with a busy part of the season. This was the Saints 24th match so far, taking in a Europa League group-stage campaign that ended Thursday with Puels team getting knocked out of the competition.Leading striker Charlie Austin injured his shoulder in midweek and Puel said Sunday the player would be out for 3-4 months.Middlesbrough stayed three points off the relegation zone.
