| INDIANAPOLIS - Doc Rivers believes the Los Angeles Clippers have all the components to make a title run.They can score from inside or outside and they can rebound. The missing piece is consistent defence — and that nearly cost them on Wednesday night.The Clippers blew a 15-point, first-half lead and nearly gave away a 20-point lead in the final 14 minutes before hanging on for their ninth straight win — 103-96 over the struggling Indiana Pacers.Defend. Thats how we fix it, Coach Rivers said when asked to explain what happened. Thats not that hard. They can do it and theyve done it. So, theyve shown they can do it, and they will do it.Los Angeles (16-5) won in typical fashion.Jamal Crawford scored 18 points, including a critical 20-foot, off-balance jumper with 1:50 to go that made it a two-possession game.Blake Griffin had 17 points, including a key free throw during the final stretch, and added 10 rebounds and five assists. DeAndre Jordan finished with 12 points and a season high 19 rebounds, and Chris Paul had eight points and 15 assists — one short of the season high he established Saturday.But the short-handed Pacers (7-15) simply refused to let the Clippers pull away. C.J. Miles scored a season high 30 points, Lavoy Allen had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Luis Scola had 12 points and 14 rebounds.It wasnt quite enough to pull of the comeback.While Rivers challenged his backups to protect leads better, Pacers coach Frank Vogel was contemplating how to get more out of his starters and possible lineup changes.Somethings got to change for us to get off to better starts, Vogel said. That group is struggling. Its not clicking.The discrepancy was so clear-cut Wednesday that Vogel didnt even bother putting his starters in for the stretch run.After the backups helped Indiana rally from a 15-point first-quarter deficit to take a 45-44 lead, the starters got outscored 10-4 in the final minutes of the first half.Roy Hibberts 19-foot jumper to start the second half cut the deficit to 54-51, but the Clippers answered with a 16-5 run to take a 14-point lead. Jordan Farmars 3-pointer with 1:52 left in the third quarter made it 82-62.But the Pacers second unit started the fourth quarter on a 12-4 spurt, closed to within five, fell behind 95-87 with 3:42 to play and then made one more rally. Scolas layup with 3:09 got the Pacers within three, and Allens 20-foot jumper with 2:00 to go made it 98-96.Crawford then answered with the jumper, and the Pacers never scored again.The key was that we didnt get rattled, Paul said. We dont want to lose leads of 15 or 20 points, but in an 82-game season, its going to happen. The important thing is we still got the win.TIP-INSClippers: Los Angeles came in leading the NBA in 3-point shooting at 38.5 per cent. However, they were just 4 of 15 from beyond the arc at halftime and finished 7 of 24 (29.2 per cent) for the game.Pacers: Whats wrong with the Pacers? Donald Sloan, once the starting point guard, didnt play against the Clippers. Hibbert and power forward David West, who recently returned from injuries, were ineffective. And the Pacers still dont have starting guard George Hill back from a knee injury.UP NEXTIndiana visits Toronto on Friday.Los Angeles visits Washington on Friday.SLOW STARTS: Indiana has been one of the NBAs worst first-quarter teams this season. On Wednesday, the Pacers had two slow starts — one in each half. Indiana was outscored 19-7 in the first 5:12 of the game and 16-7 over the first 5:03 of the third quarter.STYLE POINTS: The key to the Clippers is scoring 100 points. They are now 15-1 when scoring at least 100, and just 1-4 when they do not. Will Middlebrooks Jersey .

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands -- Top seeds Juan Martin del Potro and Andy Murray overcame bumps to reach the ABN Amro quarterfinals on Thursday. Del Potro, the 2012 runner-up and 2013 champion, beat Paul-Henri Mathieu of France 6-2, 7-6 (2) but had to save two set-points on serve at 5-6 in the second. "I recovered myself well in the tiebreak, because I made too many mistakes in the second set," he said. Still feeling pain in his left wrist, he added, "Sometimes I get frustrated . its not easy when I want to close the point and hit hard but I have to hit slices. But I have done this for the past month on the tour and I have to deal with it. If the pain goes away I will start to hit the backhand harder again." Second-seeded Murray bested Austrian qualifier Dominic Thiem 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. They were evenly matched in the first two sets, with Thiem saving three break points to take the second.dddddddddddd But Murray asserted himself in the third, in an exciting match which lasted 2 hours, 21 minutes. "It was unbelievably tough with a lot of long games," Murray said. "Maybe fun for the fans, but not (for me) to play against a talent like Dominic Thiem. Well be hearing a lot from him." Murray faces Marin Cilic in the quarterfinals after Cilic upset fifth-seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4, 6-4. Del Potro plays Latvian Ernests Gulbis, who beat eighth-seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 6-4, 7-6 (3). Also, third-seeded Tomas Berdych beat Nicolas Mahut of France 6-4, 6-3 and will meet Wimbledon semifinalist Jerzy Janowicz on Friday. But fourth-seeded Richard Gasquet was knocked out by Philipp Kohlschreiber 7-5, 7-5, and the German will face Dutch wild card Igor Sijsling in the last eight.
