LOS ANGELES -- The San Antonio Spurs hadn't lost a game in more than five weeks entering Saturday's Game 3 matinee against the Los Angeles Clippers.

That last loss was against the Los Angeles Lakers, at Staples Center. It looked like the streak would be snapped in the same location when the Clippers opened up an enormous early-game lead on visiting San Antonio on Saturday, but no -- the Spurs showed why they'd won 16 consecutive contests and stormed back to beat the Clippers in comfortable fashion, 96-86.

"We didn't plan on being down by that much after the first quarter, but we understood that they were going to make a run early and we had to sustain," Spurs forward Tim Duncan said. "We've been through enough that we understand how that goes.

"It was great poise. We stuck with it."

San Antonio outscored the Clippers 24-0 in one eight-minute stretch in the third quarter to erase an earlier 24-point deficit and never let L.A. get closer than seven points in the game's final minutes. The Spurs now have the opportunity to sweep the Clippers in Sunday's Game 4 at 7:30 p.m. PT.

"This is it, our backs are against the wall," Clippers forward Blake Griffin said. "If we don't play with a sense of urgency, it's not going to be pretty."

Spurs point guard Tony Parker and Duncan both produced double-doubles, with Parker putting up 21 points and 10 assists and Duncan 19 points and 13 rebounds.

Rookie forward Kawhi Leonard nearly joined them with 14 points and nine rebounds. He shot 3-of-5 from 3-point range as the Spurs made 9-of-22 from there.

"It just worked out for us tonight," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "We called some plays that helped us, and Tony ran the show really well."

For the Clippers, Griffin was the only consistent producer of the starters, with 28 points and 16 rebounds. Point guard Chris Paul, battling a strained hip flexor since the team's first-round series against Memphis, couldn't get things going in the second half and finished with 12 points on 5-of-17 shooting. Reserve Mo Williams added 19 points.

"We got some good performances from a couple of guys, but overall we were obviously very disappointed," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We fought it back as much as we could, but San Antonio's execution down the stretch, obviously, is probably as good as anyone's."

The Clippers jumped out to a 33-11 lead after one quarter on spirited play from Griffin.

The third-year forward, dealing with knee and hip injuries, nearly matched his entire Game 1 output in 12 dynamic minutes Saturday, scoring 14 points on 7-of-8 shooting and adding five rebounds. He even hit a signature Duncan-style 15-footer off the backboard near the end of the period.

Paul also produced more than he did in the series' first two games, with seven assists in the first period alone. He finished the half with eight assists but again struggled to get his shot going with just four points on 1-of-1 shooting.

San Antonio converted just five field goal attempts in the first quarter before bouncing back in the second, outscoring the Clippers 32-20 in that stretch. Duncan and Manu Ginobili were held scoreless in the first period, then combined 15 points in the rest of the half.

The Spurs did get 11 first-half points and five assists from Parker, who continued to subdue Paul on defense and force him to expend energy guarding him on the opposite end.

After two straight Nick Young jumpers gave the Clippers a 24-point lead with nine minutes to go in the second, the Spurs responded with a 3-pointer from Matt Bonner and a flurry from Duncan and Ginobili to gain back the momentum.

At the break, L.A. led by 10, 53-43.

NOTES: The Clippers-Spurs game was the first of a Staples Center doubleheader, with the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder following it at 7:30 p.m. PT. The games are part of an unprecedented playoff weekend in the L.A. area, with the NHL's Los Angeles Kings hosting two Western Conference final contests as well. ...Griffin's 16 rebounds were a playoff high and his 28 points were two short of his 30-point playoff mark. ...In total, the Spurs outscored the Clippers 80-46 in the final 35 minutes of the game.

The Dodgers beat the D-backs on Monday night playing without Matt Kemp for the first time all season, have won five in a row and still hold a sizable lead in the National League West. Can they keep it up?

They will have to do it without Kemp, who was officially placed on the disabled list Monday night with a strained left hamstring, adding to their already lengthy list of injuries. And they will start Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, where Chad Billingsley will take the mound against D-backs left-hander Wade Miley.

"It says we're weathering a storm short term," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of his club's ability to win despite the injuries. "You don't want to weather storms for a long period of time. You can do it temporarily. Over the long haul, you need your guys out there."

A solid start from Billingsley would help. The right-hander was lifted after four innings against the Giants on Wednesday, when Mattingly pinch-hit for him with one out and the bases loaded. Billingsley responded by angrily slamming his bat down. To that point, he'd allowed two runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out five on 85 pitches.

"I heard him slam the bat. I'm not sure if he was mad at me," Mattingly said. "At that point, he's made 85 pitches and it's a 2-1 game. We had a chance to score runs and at most he's got one more inning. Really, it was a no-brainer."

Miley, meanwhile, cruised through most of his last start Wednesday against the Cardinals but ended up taking the loss. Miley pitched four scoreless innings then gave up one run on two singles and a fielding error. The last pitch he threw went for a two-run double and ended his night.

In all, Miley threw 5 2/3 innings and gave up three runs on 10 hits and two walks with three strikeouts.

"I had to battle a little bit, and I didn't make pitches when I needed to," Miley said after that start.

D-backs: Upton will play through hitting woes

• Justin Upton went 1-for-4 on Monday night, raising his batting average one point to .226 on the year. In late May last year, Upton had managed a .241 batting average when manager Kirk Gibson gave him a day off to help his mindset. Upton bounced back from that point on, so Gibson was asked Monday if Upton should be given a rest for similar reasons this year.

"I asked him today," Gibson said. "He wants to play. He's very determined. He just hasn't been able to find his swing path. On and off, but not consistently. He's worked so hard he's probably got a little too much on his mind right now. ... It's probably not as natural for him right now because he's trying to make certain adjustments. ... It's just a vicious cycle sometimes."

• Shortstop Stephen Drew could begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Sunday. He is scheduled to play nine innings in extended spring games Tuesday and Thursday and go through an intense session of drills Wednesday.

Dodgers: Sands, Herrera recalled as Kemp, Uribe hit DL

• With Kemp being placed on the 15-day disabled list, outfielder Jerry Sands was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday night. He joined utility man Elian Herrera, who was also called up Monday when the Dodgers put third baseman Juan Uribe (left wrist soreness) on the DL.

Sands was hitting .257 with seven homers, 28 RBIs and 27 runs scored for the Isotopes. Mattingly said he was familiar with Herrera's work in the Minors as well.

"Every time he got hits," he said. "I've looked at the Minor League reports. He's played, center, right, left, second, short and third. He's been good everywhere. Manny Mota told me in the spring to get Herrera over here, that he was leading off in the Dominican and played really good."

• Kemp had played a Major League-high 399 consecutive games before missing Monday night's win over the D-backs.

Worth noting

• The Dodgers are honoring Orel Hershiser on Tuesday night, giving away bobbleheads in his likeness and having the former Dodgers right-hander throw out the ceremonial first pitch. He asked Gibson, a teammate on the 1988 World Series champion club, to catch the pitch, but Gibson declined.

"I'm a Diamondback," Gibson said. "I'm the manager of the team. I respect Orel tremendously. He knows that. It's not disrespect towards him. If I was out of baseball I would have done it, but I'm in baseball and I've got different colors on tonight and tomorrow."

“As you are aware, we've been engaged in the sequence of inner discussions in excessive of the final month regarding the long term of our football team. we've two critical choices to make – the course of this coaching employees and the long term on the quarterback position. they may be distinct difficulties to me and is heading to be dealt with separately.

“Today, I informed our basic manager Mike Reinfeldt to proceed ahead with strategies to start the method of identifying the up coming quarterback for our franchise. He will inform Vince Young’s representative that Vince will not be on our roster up coming season. I like to present my personal thank you to Vince for all of his good contributions towards club. These sorts of choices are in no way painless and this is notably accurate for this specific player. I obviously wish that factors would have worked out better, but I feel it will be ideal to the franchise that people proceed on at this point.

“I also informed Jeff (Fisher) currently that i had been continuing the evaluation of this coaching employees and i'm hoping to create a selection soon.”

STATEMENT FROM TITANS basic MANAGER MIKE REINFELDT

“I talked with Vince’s representative Tom Condon currently and informed him that Vince will not amount in to the club’s strategies for up coming season. below league rules, Vince’s agreement can not be terminated right up until February seven when waivers begin to the new season. Similarly, he can not be traded to a different club right up until exchanging starts over the initial daytime of this league year. right up until then, Vince is welcome to rehab his injuries possibly right here at our facility or elsewhere.

“I enable Mr. Adams realize that we'll explore all of this options that are out there to us to solidify the quarterback position to the upcoming season.”

Tony Sparano’s voice barked across the rookie mini-camp practice field last weekend. He got after the young players about details like stride length and finishing routes, and at one point bellowed at the quarterbacks like a real-estate agent, “Location! Location! Location!”

The new Jets offensive coordinator appears to be high-energy, in-your-face and no-nonsense, and that’s what the veteran players have seen in their first few weeks together.

“I like him. He’s night and day from Schotty,” right tackle Wayne Hunter said, referring to former Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. “I think it’s a good change.”

Hunter cited Sparano’s “attitude” and “presence” as the differences.

Right now, that’s what the players are basing their opinions on, because coaches have only been allowed on the field with players for two weeks, and the team is in its early stages of installing Sparano’s new offense.

Specifics like how the tight end will be used and if the tackles will have more help in Sparano’s scheme remain to be seen, but the players’ reactions to his style are positive.

“The one thing you can really appreciate about him is he’s very honest,” tight end Dustin Keller said. “He told us that from the get-go. He’s going to be honest with us, and if you want to know where you stand with the team, go in there and ask him, because he’ll always be honest with you. That’s something we really respect.”

The former Dolphins head coach said he made a “handshake deal” with his players that he’s going to give them his best effort every day, and he expects the same from them. Keller says he believes Sparano’s approach will push guys to the next level.

The Jets parted ways with Schottenheimer in January, after the offense finished 25th in the league last year and struggled with internal chemistry issues.

After Schottenheimer’s departure, coach Rex Ryan said in a radio interview that the verbiage of Schottenheimer’s system was “probably a little much.” Keller said there are less words involved in Sparano’s system, and left guard Matt Slauson has explained that calls are parsed for each position so players only have to know one piece of the play call.

“It’s similar to the system that I ran when I was in Pittsburgh, so pretty much everything that he’s brought in is kind of more making sense to me now,” receiver Santonio Holmes said. “Being in coach Schottenheimer’s offense, it was a little difficult to understand and learn everything on the fly.”

Quarterback Mark Sanchez said Sparano has also placed a major emphasis on building a team atmosphere, with teammates competing and lifting each other to a higher level. He added, “these first three weeks or so have been exactly what we needed.”

Sanchez described the way Sparano installs plays as stern and to the point. Right guard Brandon Moore also said he has preached discipline and accountability, two critical attributes on offense because 11 guys need to be on the same page for a play to work.

Perhaps the most important thing, players said, is that everything is clear with Sparano, particularly his expectations.

“He expects a lot of you, but he’s fair,” Sanchez said. “Just like a game plan, he’ll let you know, ‘We’re going to work on a specific situation; here’s what I expect.’ And if doesn’t happen, that’s when you hear the coach Sparano that everyone talks about.”

Sanchez added: “But at the same time, I said he’s fair. When you throw a good ball, when somebody runs a good route, when you get the answer right, that’s what he wants and he expects it, but he also rewards you for that and lets you know. His demeanor will be great for us.”
