SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Klay Thompson’s fourth-quarter flurry brought back memories of so many other scoring bursts on his impressive list of them. He flexed. He snarled. Vintage Klay.“We needed it,” Stephen Curry said. “… I know he didn’t have much going before that run. That’s Klay.”Thompson scored 10 straight during a key fourth-quarter stretch and finished with 22 points, Curry had 26 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, and the undermanned Golden State Warriors held off the Los Angeles Clippers 120-114 on Thursday night.“It felt like the game rewarded him for just continuing to fight and not worrying about anything. He kept shooting and the ball kind of bounced his way,” coach Steve Kerr said of Thompson. “That’s the Klay that I expect really the rest of the year.”The Splash Brothers delivered for the Warriors, who lost guards Chris Paul and Gary Payton II to injuries during a 124-123 loss Tuesday night at Sacramento, when...

DaRon Bland has NFL-leading 8th interception for Cowboys after getting burned by Seahawks

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:00:49 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — DaRon Bland added to his NFL-leading interception total with a nifty pick, though that didn’t really make up for the big plays against the Dallas Cowboys cornerback before they rallied to avoid their first home loss this season. Bland didn’t return this one for a touchdown — he already has the NFL record with five picks returned for scores — but his eighth interception of the season late in the third quarter ended a streak of three consecutive TD drives for the Seattle Seahawks.“Nah, it ain’t nothing special,” Bland said about that pick. “I didn’t have a great first half. Try to make it up in the second half, that’s all it was.”The Cowboys failed to convert that into a go-ahead score, but Dak Prescott’s 12-yard TD to Jake Ferguson and ensuing 2-point conversion with 4:37 left propelled them to a 41-35 victory Thursday night. Seattle (6-6) entered the game without an offensive touchdown on its previous 20 possessions.That streak ended i...
