The Los Angeles Clippers have been playing so proficiently that they have expressed dissatisfaction after victories this season.Theyre really going to be in a foul mood after letting one slip away.Los Angeles (10-2) brings the NBAs best record to Sacramento on Friday night, and they will have had 48 hours to stew before they take the floor at Golden 1 Center. The Clippers saw the end to a seven-game winning streak in a 111-107 overtime loss at home to the Memphis Grizzlies. Los Angeles fought back from a 15-point halftime deficit, but guard J.J. Reddicks 3-pointer with the Clippers down two and four seconds left was knocked away from behind.It was Los Angeles first loss since Nov. 2 at Oklahoma City.Its a learning point. Its a lesson, Clippers forward Blake Griffin said after the game. Putting ourselves in such a big hole makes late game (situations) so intense for every little thing. It messes you up. I think its good. We love to win them all, but it will be good for us.The early going has been as good to the Clippers as anyone, and theyve been spurred by defense. Per NBA.com, the Clippers allow 94.6 points per 100 possessions, the best mark in the league. Theyve held nine of their 12 opponents below 100 points, and the 111 scored by the Grizzlies marked a season high by an opponent.They also have outscored opponents by 208 points in their first 12 games, an average of 17.3 per contest. They average 108.7 points per game, with Griffin leading them at 20.6 and Chris Paul adding 18.3. Paul, who is fourth in the NBA with 8.3 assists per game, leads the assists-to-turnover ratio at 4.76.Despite all of it, Rivers expressed disappointment Tuesday that both the Clippers losses have come at home and that his team was sloppy at times.We made mistakes, he said. All of them are fixable mistakes.The Kings keep hoping they have time to fix a rough roller coaster of an early season. Sacramento (4-8) has dropped three straight contests, including two in a row at their new home. The skid started when they let a 19-point lead get away against the Lakers at home on Nov. 10. They slumbered out of the game in their next two, the latest a 110-105 loss on Wednesday to San Antonio in which they fell behind 16-6 early in the first quarter.Weve got to get off to better starts, Joerger said of a team that also fell behind 25-13 in an overtime loss at Portland on Nov. 11. I thought that was just horrendous.The Kings seemed disinterested early against San Antonio, allowing 16 points in the paint and turning over the ball four times in the opening 12 minutes.The starters have to do a better job, Kings center DeMarcus Cousins said. We set the tone.Cousins is averaging 26.6 points per contest and Rudy Gay 21.3 for the Kings, but Sacramento has struggled to find a consistent third scorer. Theyve also struggled to defend the 3-pointer, allowing opponents to shoot 35 percent. The Clippers knock down 37 percent from distance, the third-best mark in the NBA, and Reddick is 10th among individuals with a 47 percent success rate. Kirk Gibson Dodgers Jersey .

Joe Kelly Jersey .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night. GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Floridas home finale against South Carolina could be an awkward affair.Not only is former Gators coach Will Muschamp returning to the school that fired him just two years ago, but the first-year Gamecocks coach will be in the stadium for Floridas Senior Day, when most of the players honored will be guys Muschamp recruited to Gainesville.And if the banged-up and 22nd-ranked Gators struggle again -- they were noncompetitive in a 31-10 loss at Arkansas last week -- Muschamp surely wont be the target of the home crowds angst.Its going to be different, Florida receiver Ahmad Fulwood said. I havent had him as a coach for two years, but to actually be playing against him is something different.It also could be costly for the Gators (6-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference).Florida leads the SECs Eastern Division and could clinch a spot in the leagues title game in Atlanta with a victory Saturday coupled with Kentucky beating Tennessee. If the Gators falter against the Gamecocks (5-4, 3-4), who have won three in a row, they also could lose control of the division race.So Muschamp has a chance to spoil his former teams season.Even crazier, the Gators are essentially paying him to do it.As part of his buyout at Florida, Muschamp got a $3.15 million payment following his termination on Nov. 16, 2014. The deal also included four annual payments of $787,500 on the anniversary of his firing. The second installment is due next week.Less than a month after he was fired, Muschamp landed at Auburn as defensive coordinator and started recruited against the Gators. Florida was seemingly so frustrated by the situation that it added a Muschamp Clause to coach Jim McElwains contract, which gives the Gators some financial protected if they fire McElwain without cause and he takes a job with another SEC school within 90 days.Muschamp has downplayed his return this week, declining to dissect his four years at Florida or offering insight into what it might feel like to be on the visiting sideline.I have been there before, he said earlier this year. Some Gator fans wanted me there when I was there.Being a visitor in the Swamp probably wont be as daunting as it once was, especially given Floridas mounting injuries .Quarterback Luke Del Rio, who threw six interceptions in hiss last three games, is sidelined indefinitely with a right shoulder injury.dddddddddddd Center Cam Dillard is out for the season with a knee injury, forcing the Gators to shuffle a line that has little depth. And maybe more troubling, Florida will be without its top two tacklers. Defensive leader Jarrad Davis (ankle) will miss his first game in nearly two years and fellow senior linebacker Alex Anzalone (arm) is out for the season.Losing those two, definitely a big loss, safety Marcus Maye said. But I mean were still going to go out with the young guys stepping up. ... Were still going to be the same defense, you know, go out, fly around and just compete.---Some other things to know about South Carolina and Florida:APPLEBY IN: Purdue transfer Austin Appleby will make his third start in place of Del Rio. But McElwain said hes not afraid to play freshman Feleipe Franks. Appleby threw for 440 yards, with three touchdowns and an interception, in his two previous starts.YOUNG GAMECOCKS: South Carolinas second-half surge has been led by its youngest players. Freshman quarterback Jake Bentley is 3-0 as a starter. Freshman Rico Dowdle had a career-high 127 yards rushing in a win against Tennessee. And Bryan Edwards, another first-year player, has 11 receptions for 130 yards and two touchdowns in the past three victories.GATORS HONORED: Florida will honor coach Steve Spurriers first title teams Saturday. Spurrier and players from his 1990 and 1991 teams will be recognized on the field between the first and second quarters. The 1990 team went 6-1 in league play but was ineligible for the title. The 1991 squad was Floridas first official SEC champions. Will really be neat to see all the guys, Spurrier said. I know all our guys want to give our guys a special recognition. Thats what its all about.DEFENSIVE TOUCH: Muschamp clearly has not lost his defensive touch. The man who molded Floridas current defense during his four seasons in Gainesville has had a similar impact on South Carolina. The Gamecocks are fifth in SEC scoring defense and sixth in total defense, improvements from a year ago.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
