WASHINGTON - Twice it happened. John Wall poked the ball away from Chris Paul, and the ball deflected off Pauls leg and out of bounds.Such defensive moments from Wall were just as important as his spin-move, up-and-under layup or any of his many assists. And they helped him beat Paul head-to-head for first time in his career.Wall controlled the game with 10 points and 11 assists, while Paul struggled with a season-high six turnovers Friday night as the Washington Wizards snapped the Los Angeles Clippers nine-game winning streak with a 104-96 victory.He isnt going to tell you that, but I know this kid well enough to tell you that he was waiting for this game, he wanted to win this game, Wizards centre Marcin Gortat said. And this is the huge improvement from John from the Day 1: It wasnt about who was going to score more points — (it was) whos going to lead the team to win the game.Wall, who had been 0-6 against Paul in games when both played, had an impact far greater than his stat line. He turned the game with a blistering sequence late in the first half that included an acrobatic assist to Bradley Beal for a 3-pointer, a 3-pointer of his own, a from-behind block of Glen Davis shot in the paint, and one of the poke-the-ball takeaways off Paul.The Wizards closed the half with a 12-2 run to lead 57-42 and didnt allow the Clippers any closer than eight points in a second half. Fans serenaded Wall with M-V-P! in the final minute, and coach Randy Wittman lauded a commitment to defence from Wall that used to come every so often.I just want to be a great player, so youve got to be committed for 48 minutes and when things arent going offensively youve got to keep playing the right way, Wall said regarding his improved play on defence.John knows that Chris has been over the last few years the more-heralded point guard, but he was up for the challenge, Wizards forward Paul Pierce said. It wasnt comfortable for Paul, even though he had a lot of points, a couple of assists, he wasnt comfortable out there.Beal scored a season-high 29 points, and Gortat had 18 for the Wizards, who have won seven of eight. Wall has at least 11 assists in seven straight games.I thought it he was into CP most of the game, bodied him, blocked shots, Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. Hes a freak athletically, and in the past I thought he only used to be on the offensive end.___PAULS TAKEPauls line was also deceptive if the turnovers are ignored: 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists.I pride myself on (not turning the ball over), making right decisions, passing the ball, ball-handling, Paul said. I dont let no one steal it from me. Tonight I was just all over the place.YOU LOOK FAMILIAR: The game was rife with fascinating connections. Wittman and Rivers were teammates in Atlanta for five seasons in the 1980s. Rivers coached Pierce for nine seasons in Boston. Pierce was recruited to Washington last summer by assistant coach Sam Cassell, who then left to join Rivers staff.TIP-INSClippers: F Spencer Hawes left with a bruised left knee late in the first quarter and did not return.

The NFC East champions agreed to a five-year contract with wide receiver Riley Cooper and a seven-year deal with centre Jason Kelce on Thursday. They gave All-Pro left tackle Jason Peters a new five-year deal a day earlier. "Its a great reflection of ownership, a credit to Jeffrey Lurie for the flexibility to do what we need to be successful," general manager Howie Roseman said. Cooper wouldve become a free agent next month after a breakout season in which he set career highs in receptions (47), yards receiving (835) and touchdowns (eight). His deal is worth $25 million over five years with about $10 million guaranteed, according to a person familiar with the contract who spoke on condition of anonymity because terms werent announced. "Riley is one of the toughest and hardest-working guys in our locker room," coach Chip Kelly said. "We talk a lot about how players have to make the most of their opportunities, and he did just that last year. He used his size, strength and speed to make a lot of big plays for our team and Im excited to watch him build upon his success." Cooper has come a long way since leaving the Eagles for three days during training camp after using a racial slur. "I didnt test free agency because I wanted to be here," he said. "I wanted to be in Philly from the get-go." Kelce was signed through 2016, and the new deeal adds four years to his contract.dddddddddddd Overall, its worth $37.5 million with $13 million guaranteed, according to the person familiar with the deals. "The numbers just sounded right," Kelce said. Kelce was part of an offensive line that helped the Eagles lead the NFL in rushing while setting a franchise record for points (442). "Jason is the epitome of the type of player we want around here, both on and off the field," Kelly said. "Hes tough, extremely intelligent and is a leader by his actions and by his words. His athleticism is something that really sticks out when you watch him play. There arent many centres that can get down the field like he does." Roseman said the signings wont affect the teams draft plans. The Eagles shifted their focus from drafting for needs to drafting the best players available on the board a couple years ago. The results have been successful picks. "A lot has changed since 2011, starting with team philosophy," Roseman said. "Im proud of the process weve developed to set ourselves up to contend." The Eagles were 10-6 and won the NFC East title in Kellys first season as coach after going 4-12 in 2012. Cooper blossomed in his first season as a starter after Jeremy Maclin went down for the season with a knee injury in camp. Maclin, a former first-round pick, is scheduled to be a free agent, but the Eagles are hoping to bring him back. "He fits into our chemistry and what were trying to do," Roseman said.
