LOS ANGELES -- Twenty points, 20 assists, zero turnovers -- what caught Chris
Pauls eye first?The turnovers, the Clippers point guard said.
Wholesale Authentic NFL Jerseys . Thats the
first thing I look at every game.Paul was historically efficient on Saturday
night, helping Los Angeles beat the New Orleans Pelicans 133-105 with its
highest offensive output of the season.It was the first 20-20 game of Pauls
career, and hes the first player since at least 1977-78 -- when turnovers were
first recorded for individuals -- to have 20 points, 20 assists and no
turnovers, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.As a point guard, Im like the
quarterback, so a turnover is like an interception, he said. And when you have
as much fire power as we have, a turnover takes away that opportunity.This was
the fifth time this season Paul did not commit a turnover, but he averaged 7.8
assists in the first four games.He didnt have any turnovers? Los Angeles DeAndre
Jordan said. He is a legend, man.The Clippers shot a season-best 57.4 percent
from the field and made a season-high 17 3-pointers on 36 attempts to snap a
two-game skid.We were just running the same play over and over, to be honest,
Paul said.Jamal Crawford scored 22 points and Jordan had 19 points and nine
rebounds for Los Angeles, which won for only the third time in eight games after
opening the season 14-2. Austin Rivers had 18 points and J.J. Redick had
16.Coach played a lot of guys tonight, and everyone who stepped on the court did
something, said Mo Speights, who chipped in 17.Coming off a tough loss to the
Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, the Clippers got back to work in
practice on Thursday and Friday.A lot of times you have a great practice and it
doesnt translate right away, Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. I thought yesterday
was the start of how we played tonight.The Pelicans, playing without resting
Anthony Davis, lost their fifth straight. New Orleans gave up its season-high in
points and has lost three consecutive road games, falling to 2-9 away from
home.I thought we played well the first half. I thought we competed, did a good
job, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. And the turnover thing reared its ugly
head. The problem with our turnovers is that we have too many live turnovers.
Fourteen is not an exorbitant number, but when you give up 22 points, that puts
you in a tough situation.Tim Frazier scored 20 points to lead New Orleans.
Cheick Diallo, playing his first extended time for the Pelicans, added 19 points
and Terrence Jones had 18.Basically, Coach told me yesterday, `I want to give
you a chance, Diallo said. I got a chance today so I had to take it. I just
played hard every possession he wanted me to play.The Clippers led 61-55 at
halftime, and then broke the game open with an 18-6 run over the opening 4:29 of
the third quarter. Rivers hit a pair of 3-pointers and capped the stretch with a
lefty layup off the glass, giving the Clippers 79-61 lead.This was the Clippers
eighth consecutive victory over the Pelicans at Staples Center, a streak dating
to 2012.NO A-DThe Pelicans elected to rest Davis, the NBAs leading scorer with
31.4 points per game. He had averaged 44 minutes over his previous three games.I
think he just needs to take the day off, Gentry said.Through Friday night, Davis
had averaged a league-leading 38.1 minutes per game.RIVERS RUN THROUGHRivers
took a hard elbow to the jaw from a driving Jones with 4:22 left in the third
quarter. Rivers returned late in the quarter, tried to play in the fourth, but
had to be helped from the court early in the final quarter. He was taken to the
locker room to be evaluated by team physicians, according to the Clippers.3,000

- In a cost-cutting move intended to avoid the increasingly punitive penalties
tied to the NBAs restructured luxury tax, the Raptors have used the amnesty
provision to waive forward Linas Kleiza. The team announced the move on Tuesday.
Kleiza, 28, was set to enter the final season of a four-year deal he signed with
Toronto in 2010 and is owed $4.6 million in 2013-14. The Raptors will still have
to pay the remaining amount owed to Kleiza but his contract will not count
against the teams salary cap. The Raptors, who were projected to be over the
luxury tax line with Kleizas contract on the books, find themselves roughly $2.5
million under the threshold after cutting the forward. Additionally, they can
now reap the rewards of remaining a non-taxpaying team, which include a larger
mid-level exception and a share of the money collected from taxpaying teams at
season end. Both Tim Leiweke and Masai Ujiri have indicated that the
organization would be willing to pay the leagues tax in the event that they were
funding a contending team. However, it would be a lot tougher to justify missing
out on the aforementioned benefits awarded to non-taxpayers to field a team that
figures to be a middling group in the Eastern Conference. Ujiri had hoped to
move Kleizas expiring contract for a draft pick but the forward has minimal
trade value, if any, as a result of the knee injuries that have plagued him
throughout his tenure in Toronto. Kleiza underwent surgery on his right knee in
2011 and has been slowed by the injury ever since. He last played on Dec. 26 and
appeared in just 20 games last season, averaging 7.4 points and 2.6 rebounds
while shooting just 33 per cent froom the field.

NFL Wholesale. Following the 2011 NBA lockout each team was granted
one amnesty clause to be used prior to the expiration of the new collective
bargaining agreement. Teams who have yet to use their lone amnesty clause have a
one-week window to utilize the provision each summer following the July
moratorium period. This year, the amnesty window closes at 12:00am ET Wednesday
July 17. Kleiza averaged 9.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 108 contests over three
seasons with the Raptors. Buycks on Board The Raptors finalized an agreement
with guard Dwight Buycks (pronounced Bikes) on Tuesday. Terms of the deal were
not disclosed. Buycks, 24, won league MVP playing in France last season --
averaging 18.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game -- after collecting
first-team all-rookie honours with the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League
the year prior. He went undrafted out of Marquette in 2011. Buycks story is one
of perseverance. After several years of chasing his NBA dream in the D-League
and overseas, he continued to turn heads playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder
in the Orlando Summer League earlier this month. The Milwaukee native averaged
9.5 points and 6.0 assists in four games for the undefeated Thunder team before
Ujiri and the Raptors expressed interest in the point guard. He made his Toronto
debut, getting the start for the Raptors Summer League team in Las Vegas
Tuesday. With the reported signing of Julyan Stone on hold -- and now appearing
unlikely -- as the former Nuggets guard rehabs nagging hip and knee injuries,
the Raptors will look to add a more experienced back-up point guard for the
veterans minimum.
