LOS ANGELES -- On an exceptional, emotional night, the Los Angeles Clippers returned to their "safe haven" and moved to the brink of winning just their third playoff series since Donald Sterling bought the team in 1981. Sterling wasnt there to witness the 113-103 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, and he wont be at future games. The Clippers stirring victory at energized Staples Center came hours after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling for life, fined him $2.5 million and called on NBA owners to force him to sell the team for making racist comments. DeAndre Jordan had 25 points, a playoff career high, and 18 rebounds while Chris Paul scored 20 points as the Clippers took a 3-2 lead in the first-round series. "I think it put a lot of guys minds at ease," Paul said. "Its been tough the last few days, but weve been getting through it." Clippers coach Doc Rivers high-fived each of his players near the bench in an uncommon display of excitement as the final seconds ticked away. Guard Jamal Crawford hugged and slapped hands with fans at courtside on the way to the locker room. "I thought they were great," said Rivers, who before the game said he hoped Staples Center would be a "safe haven" full of adrenaline. "I thought they were tired a lot, and that was the result of the last few days. I just thought they had great mental toughness. They wanted to will this game, and Im just proud of them." Game 6 is Thursday night in Oakland. The Clippers were greeted with a standing ovation when they came out for pregame warmups. They kept on their Clippers warmup suits, unlike Sunday in Oakland, when, in a silent protest against Sterling, they tossed their sweatsuits bearing the team logo onto the court and went through their pregame routine with their red shirts on inside out. Players from both teams wore black socks. With so many sponsors bailing on the Clippers, there were few advertisements on the video boards. A few non-digital signs were covered over. The PA announcer constantly reminded the crowd, "We Are One." One fan wore a T-shirt that read: "Sterling Out Equality In." The distraction since the scandal broke Saturday was "monumental," said Crawford, who scored 19 points. "You couldnt shake it. Youd try to take a nap, youd wake up, and youd think its a bad dream. You couldnt shake it but it drains you, even mentally more than physically. Im glad we had the strength to get through it. With that cloud over you, you never know. This thing could have gone either way." Blake Griffin scored 18 points and Darren Collison had 15 for the Clippers. Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 21 points. David Lee and Andre Iguodala scored 18 apiece while Stephen Curry had a so-so game with 17 points, including four 3-pointers. "We had the momentum coming off the last game but we had too many turnovers and we were not consistent," Curry said. "Our defence didnt stick to its plan. "We have to figure out how to control the paint and cant let them get off to a big start," he said. "We knew they would come out with a lot of emotion but after the first quarter it felt like a regular playoff game." Curry stole the ball and hit a 3-pointer to give the Warriors a 70-69 lead late in the third quarter. Paul answered with a 3-pointer to put the Clippers up 72-70. Crawford then poked the ball away from Curry, broke free, got the pass for a dunk and a four-point lead with 1:11 left. Paul hit another 3 with 1.1 seconds left in the third for a 77-72 lead. Griffin scored eight points in the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter. Jordan made six of eight free throws in the final period. With the Clippers leading by three points early in the fourth quarter, Griffin scored two quick baskets to make it 83-78. He made a turnaround jumper to push the lead to 90-81 with 7 minutes to go. Jordan had four blocks and Paul had five steals. "We knew it was going to be loud and thats what will be waiting for us on Thursday at home," Warriors guard Steve Blake said. "Weve got to believe and if we do that, we can come back and win two games." Avonte Maddox Eagles Jersey .

The Blues try to forge a tie for second place in the Central Division on Tuesday when they visit the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena. Nashville enters this showdown three points behind Chicago for the top spot and two points ahead of St. Louis. St. Louis snapped a four-game skid with Mondays 3-0 victory over the visiting Colorado Avalanche. Martin Brodeur posted his first shutout as a member of the Blues with a 16-save effort and extended his all-time NHL record. Brodeur, who spent his first 21 seasons with the New Jersey Devils, has tallied the most shutouts in NHL history with 125. I think hes gotten more comfortable here, Butler said of Brodeur. I think tonight was an awesome performance by him. Dmitrij Jaskin, Chris Butler and Vladimir Tarasenko all scored for the Blues, who hadnt lost more than two in a row this season before the recent 0-3-1 slide. Although Brodeur turned in one of his best efforts in a Blues sweater last night, St. Louis would love to welcome No. 1 goaltender Brian Elliott back to the crease on Tuesday. Elliott has been sidelined since Nov. 25 with a lower-body injury, but he returned to practice on Sunday, when head coach Ken Hitchcock said he hoped the goalie would be ready here in the next couple of days. While theres a chance Elliott could return tonight, if he is unable to go then rookie Jake Allen will likely get the call. The Blues lost forward Chhris Porter to a leg injury in the second period of Mondays game and he did not return.dddddddddddd He is questionable for tonight. St. Louis, which is beginning a four-game road trip tonight, is 9-7-2 as the away team this season. Nashville lost for the second time in three games on Monday when it dropped a 5-4 shootout decision in Chicago despite holding a 3-0 lead over the Blackhawks at one point. After coming back from a three-goal deficit in the second period, the Blackhawks needed another tying goal with less than two minutes left in regulation. Bryan Bickell delivered the marker with the goalie pulled and 1:13 left on the clock to make it a 4-4 game. Jonathan Toews scored the lone goal of the shootout to deliver the victory for the Blackhawks. James Neal scored a pair of goals for Nashville. Roman Josi and Craig Smith potted the other two Predators goals and Pekka Rinne allowed four goals on 42 shots. I thought we had a great start, and I thought we played strong throughout, said Neal. We ran into a little penalty trouble, and theyve got a great power play. Nashville hopes to bounce back tonight on home ice, where it boasts a 13-2-1 record this season. The Predators entered 2013-14 having lost six straight in the series against the Blues, but Nashville has taken two of three from St. Louis this season. The clubs last met on Dec. 4 in Music City when the Preds downed the Blues, 4-3, in regulation. Rinne made 29 saves for the win, while Mike Ribeiro recorded a goal and two assists. The victory also snapped St. Louis six-game winning streak in Nashville.
