Warriors come from behind to take down Clippers

[...] the Warriors, playing without Draymond Green (shin inflammation), proved that any game against the Clippers can affect their pride, clawing their way back from a 17-point deficit and completing a thrilling primer for a potential playoff matchup with a 110-106 victory at the Staples Center. The 39 percent free-throw shooter sank both shots — getting a second chance on one after the Warriors were called for a lane violation — to trim the Clippers’ deficit to 103-102. Andre Iguodala was fouled on a three-point attempt with 1:10 remaining, and he got all three free throws to drop to put the Warriors up 106-102. The Clippers committed a backcourt violation on the ensuing inbounds play and had no choice but to send Klay Thompson to the line for his 24th and 25th points, which clinched it. The Warriors (61-13) have won 10 straight and snapped the seven-game winning streak of the Clippers (49-26). The Warriors became the first visiting team to win in the teams’ past 11 regular-season meetings, and they dropped the Clippers to 12-12 against teams currently among the Western Conference’s top eight. Clippers head coach Doc Rivers said the Warriors sat Green because they didn’t want to chance their regulars going to 2-2 against the Clippers. Green’s shins are improving, but because Thursday’s home game against Phoenix is relatively meaningless, Kerr said he might sit the power forward for a third straight game. The Clippers limited the Warriors to a season-low 18 points in the first quarter, when David Lee (17 points) made 5 of 7 shots and the rest of the team connected on 3 of 19. Two minutes later, he knocked down a three-pointer to tie it 67-67 — drawing the Warriors even for the first time since it was 0-0 — and set up a nail-biting final 17 minutes.

Renck & File: Rock bottom. Time to start tracking Rockies’ wins with 1962 New York Mets
Denver Post, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 07:45 AM
The best thing about rock bottom is the bottom part. It has no delusions of adequacy, and knows its friends are Antarctica, the 1997-98 Denver Nuggets and “Tiger Blood” Charlie Sheen. The worst thing is the rock. Or in this case, the Rockies. They are playing baseball so poorly that there is a growing suspicion that they might do it worse than any team in the modern history of the sport.
