LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Clippers starters built an 18-point lead in a torrid opening quarter only to see the reserves blow it all by halftime, leading to an angry locker room.The starters got most of it back in third and the Clippers went on to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 120-100 on Saturday night for their seventh straight victory.Thats the most upset Ive seen our team at halftime, coach Doc Rivers said. The lesson for the second unit was make your own day. In the fourth quarter, the second unit came in and finished the job this time.Blake Griffin scored 30 points, going over 7,000 for his career, and made 10 of 15 free throws as one of just two starters to get fouled.J.J. Redick scored 13 of his 21 points in the first quarter, Jamal Crawford added 20, Chris Paul had 18 points and 16 assists, and DeAndre Jordan had 18 rebounds for Los Angeles.Earlier in the season, the Clippers wouldnt have handled faltering in such a way. But theyve grown during their current winning streak, which began with four straight wins during a recent seven-game trip.You cant figure out whose fault it is, youve got to find a solution, Paul said. We let our defence create our offence.Defensively, Griffin did a job on Pelicans star Anthony Davis, who scored 26 points but was held to a season-low three rebounds.To go against a guy like that is fun, Griffin said. Just keep a body on him. It was a team effort.Ryan Anderson scored 16 off the bench, Luke Babbitt had 12 after making four of five 3-pointers, and Omar Asik had 10 rebounds for New Orleans, which has dropped two straight and five of six.They shot the ball extremely well, but our first and third-quarter defence let us down, Pelicans coach Monty Williams said.The Clippers led by 18 early in the second quarter, only to watch the Pelicans tie it at 54-all at halftime. New Orleans shot 74 per cent and made 5 of 6 3-pointers in the quarter, when Anderson led the way with 12 points. Babbitt hit a 3-pointer for the tie with 28 seconds left.We were sharing the ball, moving the ball, and we didnt care who scored. It was fun, Davis said. But at the same time, it wasnt enough. I think I can do a better job of moving the ball even more and making the extra pass. But at the same time, the guys have to be more aggressive.The Pelicans took their only lead of the game, 56-54, to start the third on a hook by Omer Asik. From there, the Clippers gradually pulled away to another double-digit lead on a 3-pointer by Paul. They stretched it to 93-78 at the end of the third on Pauls running layup.Redick capped his red-hot opening quarter with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer, giving the Clippers a 34-18 lead after they shot 65 per cent.The Pelicans got back in it in the second with their five 3-pointers. Anderson had two 3s, Austin Rivers added one and Babbitt hit the tying 3 just before halftime.TIP-INSPelicans: G Eric Gordon, a former Clipper, remains out with a left shoulder injury. ...

Neither did the Tampa Bay Rays during their recent skid. The rookie slugger and his teammates are both seeing rewards for their persistence heading into the final weeks of the playoff chase. Myers hit two homers off Jered Weaver, and the Rays kept pace in the AL wild-card race with a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night. Myers had never faced Weaver, but he homered on the first pitch he saw from the Angels longtime ace in the second inning. He homered again in the seventh on Weavers first pitch after a mound visit, driving a two-run shot into the Rays bullpen behind left field. "The only way to get through a slump is to keep hitting," said Myers, who batted just .209 in August after an impressive start to his major league career. "You cant take days off. Its good to be able to help the team like that. Definitely a nice feeling." Tampa Bay (77-61) stayed 2 1/2 games ahead of the Yankees atop the wild-card standings and remained 5 1/2 games behind first-place Boston in the AL East. "We dont want just a wild card," Myers said. "Were still trying to win the division. Its nice to not be looking from the outside the wild card, but we still want more than that." Myers is bouncing back from a rough stretch in August to stay in contention for the AL Rookie of the Year award alongside teammate Chris Archer, Texas Martin Perez and Angels leadoff hitter J.B. Shuck. Myers, who didnt get called up to the majors until June 18, had his first multi-hit game in two weeks during Tampa Bays win on Tuesday night. Weaver (9-8) yielded six hits over seven innings, but gave up two no-doubt shots to Myers, who hadnt homered since Aug. 14. "Hes got some pop, obviously," Weaver said. "Theres some holes there, but I didnt quite find those holes. Just two bad pitches ended up beating us, but I felt like I threw a good game for the most part. I threw up a quality start, which the only thing I could do. Its tough." Myers first homer off Weaver also produced his first RBI since Aug. 20. He finished with his second multi-homer game of the season, also doing it July 28 at Yankee Stadium. "Those balls were crushed," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "Thats nice to see. We could really use that right about now.dddddddddddd. This is a young man thats not overwhelmed. Hes going to have some moments, but thats a Cy Young-caliber pitcher, and he handled it well." Myers provided all the offence needed by Jeremy Hellickson (11-8), who pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning of his first victory in nearly six weeks. Hellickson yielded four hits and two walks in his first start since spending a week in the minors to rediscover his form. "Sitting at home for those 4-5 days and watching the guys in the dugout having fun, and Im sitting on the couch by myself, it isnt too fun," said Hellickson, who never actually pitched in the minors. The bullpen also was solid for the Rays, who won their second straight after a five-game skid. Fernando Rodney earned his 32nd save in the ninth while making his first appearance in a week for Tampa Bay, which has won two straight after a 1-8 skid. Hellickson had allowed multiple runs in each of his previous six starts while going 0-5 with a 9.00 ERA, but he mostly avoided trouble from the Angels, who have lost two straight after winning nine of 10. Chris Iannetta hit a pinch-hit homer in the seventh for Los Angeles, which has lost 11 of 13 at home. "Weve been playing some good baseball," Weaver said. "We had some opportunities tonight, but Hellickson made some good pitches and kept us off-balance." Iannetta connected off Jake McGee to lead off the seventh, hitting his third career pinch-hit homer and his first since Sept. 29, 2009. The Angels catcher hadnt homered at home all season, hitting his other seven homers away from the Big A. Josh Hamilton went 1 for 3 with a walk in his return to the Angels lineup. The $125 million designated hitter is struggling with sinus congestion. NOTES: Iannetta hadnt homered in Anaheim since Aug. 29, 2012. ... Los Angeles allowed multiple stolen bases for the 28th time this season. ... Maddon said nobody showed up at a Long Beach sports bar late Tuesday night to take advantage of his Twitter offer to buy a beer for anybody in Rays gear. Maddon blamed himself for sending out the offer far too late to find any fans. Still, 20-25 Rays players, coaches and personnel enjoyed the "Win or Weep" party until well after 1 a.m. Maddon, the former Angels coach, still has his home in the area.
