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. The Spurs now have the opportunity to sweep the Clippers in Sunday's Game 4 at 7:30 p.m. PT. Spurs point guard Tony Parker and power forward Tim Duncan both
