LOS ANGELES -- The San Antonio Spurs hadn't lost a game in more than five weeks entering Saturday's Game 3 matinee against the Los Angeles Clippers. That last loss was against the Los Angeles Lakers, at Staples Center. It looked like the streak would be snapped in the same location when the Clippers opened up an enormous early-game lead on visiting San Antonio on Saturday, but no -- the Spurs showed why they'd won 16 consecutive contests and stormed back to beat the Clippers in comfortable fashion, 96-86.San Antonio outscored the Clippers 24-0 in one eight-minute stretch in the third quarter to erase an earlier 24-point deficit and never let L.A. get closer than seven points in the game's final minutes.

Kentucky Derby winner I'll Have Another surged to a surprise win Saturday at the 137th running of the Preakness Stakes, keeping its hopes for the coveted Triple Crown alive.

I'll Have Another went into the race with 3-1 odds, behind Bodemeister, the favorite with odds at 2-1.

Bodemeister took an early lead and stayed in front for most of the race. But on the home stretch, I'll Have Another broke loose, charging up the side and past Bodemeister to score a dramatic win.

Bodemeister came in second and Creative Cause took third.

"I have to say there was a point where I didn't think we were going to get there," I'll Have Another owner J. Paul Reddam told NBC.

"Bodemeister was running his guts out. It was a fantastic race. I didn't feel confident we were going to get there until about 10 yards from the wire."

Like at the Preakness, Bodemeister led for most of that race before being overtaken at the wire by I'll Have Another.
