SECAUCUS, N.J. — The Los Angeles Clippers have won the NBA's draft lottery and own the No. 1 pick in next month's draft.
The Clippers moved up from the third-best chance Tuesday night to earn the top pick for the third time, earning the right to draft All-America forward Blake Griffin of Oklahoma, the national college player of the year.
Memphis vaulted to second and Oklahoma City will pick third.
Sacramento, which had the best chance to win the lottery after finishing with a league-worst 17-65 record, fell to fourth, and Washington dropped from second to No. 5.
UVU gets a lesson
The announcement was still on Utah Valley University's website Tuesday afternoon, which seemed a mournful oversight.
