ORLANDO, Fla. -- Jordan Woodard scored 21 points and handed out nine assists Sunday to help Oklahoma hold off Clemson 70-64 in the third-place game of the Tire Pros Invitational.Christian James had 17 points, including three critical 3-pointers late in the game, and Kameron McGusty added 14 points for Oklahoma (3-1).Jaron Blossomgame had 19 points for Clemson (2-2), while Sidy Djitte scored 14 to go with 14 rebounds and Marquise Reed added 10 points.Clemson had cut an 18-point second half deficit to just two when James revived a fragile Oklahoma offense. The sophomore forward hit three straight 3-pointers and banked home a layup to give the Sooners some breathing room at 65-56 with 2:07 to play.Clemson never got closer than five the rest of the game as Woodard made a driving layup and two free throws to seal the win.We took it to them early so to build a lead and kind of hang on late is a great experience for our guys, Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. Clemson made it difficult, but our guys hung in there and found a way to win.Clemson was down 47-29 with under 12 minutes left in the game when the Tigers went on a 27-11 run to cut the deficit to two with four minutes to go.Clemson scored 10 straight points, eight of them from Blossomgame, in a two-minute stretch in the middle of the second half to start the rally.After a timeout, Reed, who missed five of his first six shots, hit a pair of 3-pointers around a 3-point play by Blossomgame and suddenly Clemson was within 58-56 with 4:17 left in the game, but never could get over the hump.Im extremely disappointed with our performance, Clemson coach Brad Brownell said. We were out of sorts from the beginning. We battled a little bit better at the end, tried a little harder and played a little better, but Oklahoma made enough plays to keep us at bay.---LATE STARTER: Oklahomas starting point guard Jordan Woodard scored in the first half for the first time in three tournament games. Woodard was shut out by Tulane and Northern Iowa, but had seven points and four assists in the first 20 minutes against Clemson, including a spectacular reverse layup at the halftime buzzer. Woodard finished the game with 21 points and nine assists.SCORING WOES: All five Clemson starters scored in double figures in the first two games of the tournament, but only two managed it against Oklahoma. Jaron Blossomgame had 19 and Sidy Djitte 14. The rest of the Tigers starting five was a combined 7 of 33 from the field and scored just 21 points. Weve got some guys who can score, but they need to understand on days when they dont shoot it well, you better have other ways to impact the game Brownell said. We didnt do that.TURNOVERS A DIFFERENCE: Clemson, which had only 21 turnovers in its first three games, committed 17 against Oklahoma. The Sooners had 25 points off Tiger turnovers, while Clemson scored just seven points on 13 Oklahoma turnovers. Our turnovers didnt hurt us as badly as theirs did, Kruger said. Its always nice to get points off your defense and we did a good job of that.GETTING TO KNOW YOU: Oklahoma has played 109 seasons of basketball and Clemson 105, but the two sides had never met until Sunday.UP NEXTClemson host High Point Friday.Oklahoma hosts Abilene Christian Friday.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- When the New York Giants started their five-game winning streak, it was Odell Beckham Jr. who led the way.The big-play wide receiver had eight catches for a career-high 222 yards and two touchdowns, including a winning 66-yard catch and run with 1:24 to play, as the Giants snapped a three-game losing streak with a 27-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 16.The performance started New York (7-3) on the way to its longest regular-season winning streak since 2010, and put it in the playoff hunt for the first time in years.Ironically, Beckham hasnt had any other big games in the run, and he seemed annoyed answering questions after the Giants 22-16 win over the Bears this past weekend.For the record, Beckham has had 24 catches for 238 yards and three touchdowns in the last four games. He is obviously contributing to the offense, but he is averaging 9.9 yards in that span. Its almost five yards a catch less than his career average.Opposing defenses have had something to do with that. He is drawing a lot of double coverages, but its just not the same Beckham.Beckham insists all he cares about are winning and getting to the playoffs for the first time since he drafted in the first round in 2014.We know that we havent played to our full potential. Were still coming away with wins, he said of the offense. We just need to step it up in each and every way. Put games away when they need to be put away.Thats been the job of the Giants defense this season. In all five wins, Steve Spagnuolos unit has stepped up with the game on the line.I think its the difference between this year and last year, Beckham said. Last year, we just didnt have that same defense thats coming up with three or four stops in a row when we needed to. It was 22--16.dddddddddddd We stopped them three or four times in a row. Last year, they may have scored once and it wouldve been 23-22 and we didnt score on offense. Theyre doing a tremendous job of closing out games.Beckham would like nothing more than to see the offense break out this week against the winless Cleveland Browns (0-11). However, he knows he will face a challenge going against cornerback Joe Haden.Hes a great corner, someone who Ive watched for a long time, even when he was at Florida, said Beckham, who two years ago made his famous one-hand touchdown catch against Dallas. Were friends in a sense. Im sure when we get out there its going to be all competition, but at the end, its all love. Im excited about the opportunity to go against one of the premier corners in this league.Like most of the team, Beckham uttered the company line that the Giants are taking this game just like any other. They are focused on the Browns and are taking nothing for granted.The other thing the Giants were focused on Wednesday was Thanksgiving.Practice will be early on Thursday and the players will spend time with family the rest of the day. Beckhams mother, stepfather and sister are coming to town.Im not cooking, Im eating, said Beckham, adding his mom and stepdad will probably cook. He also plans to watch some football on television.Game notes DE Jason Pierre-Paul (knee), OL Marshall Newhouse (knee), OL Brett Jones (calf) and WR Roger Lewis, Jr. (concussion) did not practice. ...
