Louisville, KY (Sports Network) - Kyle Kuric scored 17 points and made several key baskets down the stretch, as fourth-ranked Louisville clawed its way past College of Charleston, 69-62. Gorgui Dieng added 14 points and 12 rebounds, while Russ Smith and Chane Behanan each posted 12 points in the victory. Louisville (11-0) remained one of six unbeatens despite getting just one point from second-leading scorer Peyton Siva. Antwaine Wiggins scored 23 points to go along with seven rebounds while Matt Sundberg recorded nine points and nine rebounds for the Cougars (9-2), who saw a six-game winning streak come to an end. The Cougars pushed one of the nations best teams to the brink, but faltered under constant pressure down the stretch. Kuric worked his way into the middle of the zone and put a deft touch on the foul line floater to put the Cardinals back in front, 60-59, with just over three minutes to go. The College of Charleston efficiently broke the press, but Trent Wiedeman missed an easy lay-in, and the ensuing loose ball led to Russ Smiths three for a four-point game. Anthony Stitt misfired from long range on the other end, and the long rebound came to Siva, who penetrated the lane then found Chris Smith on the left wing off the secondary break, and he stepped into another trey for a seven-point game. Wiggins made a three-pointer to give the Cougars life, and they had several more chances in the final minute, including another missed layup from Wiedeman. Louisville made its foul shots when necessary to hold on. The Cardinals ran off eight straight in the early going to seize a 13-6 advantage. The Cougars fought back, hanging close for most of the half then pulling within one, 31-30, on a Stitt three with just over four minutes left. Andrew Lawrences three over a minute later gave Charleston its first lead since 6-5 and it capped a 10-0 spurt with Wiedemans bucket for a 35-31 edge. The margin grew to 46-38 early in the second half on Jordan Scotts triple, but Louisville slowly crept back and took the slim lead, 53-52, on back-to- back buckets from Dieng and Behanan. Game Notes Louisville is off to its best start since the 1996-1997 season...The Cougars made just 8-of-29 from inside the arch, but nearly pulled the upset thanks to 12 three-pointers....Siva was 0-for-5 from the floor but did finish with six assists and four steals...Louisville has won two meetings between the two programs.

That margin would have been larger had the Warriors not beaten them three times. The teams renewed their intense rivalry Thursday night as Chris Paul scored 42 points and had three of his 15 assists on consecutive alley-oop dunks by Blake Griffin during a 30-second span of the third quarter, helping lead Los Angeles to a 126-115 victory in the Clippers home opener. "Those three plays started with defence, and thats what got us going," Griffin said. "Thats a positive thing, and we have to learn from that. We have to know that we can extend a lead and put the game where we need it to be with our defence." The Clippers, coming off a club-record 56-win season, began their 30th season in Los Angeles on Tuesday with a 116-103 loss to the Lakers, that nights home team in the shared arena. This is the first season in which the Lakers championship banners and retired numbers will be covered up during Clippers home games by banners depicting some of their players in action -- an innovation by new head coach Doc Rivers. Griffin had 23 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out with 3:53 remaining for the Clippers. Reserve Jamal Crawford added 17 points and DeAndre Jordan had 17 rebounds and nine points. Golden States Stephen Curry, who set an NBA single-season record with 272 3-pointers last season made nine 3s against the Clippers and finished with 39 points and nine assists. David Lee scored 22 points before fouling out with 4:10 to play, and centre Andrew Bogut had 17 points. Warriors guard Klay Thompson, who had a career-high 38 points on 15-for-19 shooting in a 125-94 rout of the Lakers on Wednesday night, did not attempt a field goal against the Clippers until he was awarded a basket on a goaltending call against Jordan with 5:04 left in the half. Thompson finished with 10 points. "Were not running our offence through Klay. Thats not who we are," coach Mark Jackson said. "We pick and choose, find the hot hand, we run our offence and we execute. Last night he had it going and we made a steady diet of Klay. Tonight we were trying to find a rhythm and then Steph got it going." Trailing by as many as 19, the Warriors sliced the deficit to 110-102 on a four-point play by Curry, who was fouled by Jared Dudley on his fourth 3-pointer of the fourth quarter with 6:05 remaining. "Its crazy. I mean, you give him one or two inches and he can still get his shot off," Griffin said. "I thought we did a decent job on him, but he was just in one of those zones where it seemed like he was hitting everything he put up." The Warriors, however, never got closer as the Clippers responded with a 10-5 run capped by newcomer J.J. Redicks 3-pointer with 3:12 left.dddddddddddd "When youre on the road playing against a team like that, one that thrives off turnovers and easy baskets, you cant give them a game like that," Curry said. "Its disappointing for me to let my shooting performance be overshadowed by my 11 turnovers. But its not going to keep me down." Lee committed his fifth foul with 6:38 left in the third quarter and went to the bench with the Warriors trailing 77-67. Paul and Griffin then worked the sellout crowd of 19,060 into a frenzy with their sudden reprise of "Lob City," helping the Clippers pull away to an 88-70 lead with 4:31 left in the quarter. Los Angeles led 68-55 at halftime with four players reaching double digits, including Paul with 18 points. The Clippers took their biggest lead, 65-47, on a 21-footer by Redick that capped an 11-2 spurt with 1:43 left in the second quarter. He finished with 17 points. "We had no business being in this game, but we fought, we battled and we hung in there. We just couldnt get over the hump," Jackson said. "We just lost to a good basketball team. You cant turn the ball over against them because theyll make you pay the price." After getting in early foul trouble, Bogut picked up his third with 2:50 left in the half when he hacked Jordan on the arm as the Clippers centre backed into him while dribbling the ball in the paint. The two players got into a shoving match before they each received technical fouls. The Clippers were leading 58-45 at the time. "Its just basketball," Jordan said. "He fouled me and I thought he followed through a little bit, so I want to protect myself at all times. Its didnt escalate anymore, and thats it." The Clippers did not raise a banner signifying the first division championship in franchise history, which dates back to the 1970-71 season when they were the Buffalo Braves. Nor was it mentioned during the pregame introductions. "I didnt have a lot of say in that this summer," Griffin said with a smirk. "We did win the division, but whether theres a banner up there or not, we have such bigger goals that that. Just getting to the playoffs is not enough. Our goal is to win four series in the playoffs." NOTES: The Clippers are 15-15 in home openers since moving from San Diego to Los Angeles for the 1984-85 season. ... The Clippers have beaten the Warriors at least once in each of the last 27 seasons, their longest such streak against any club. ... Jordan recorded his 1,000th regular-season field goal in the NBA on an alley-oop dunk set up by Paul in the first quarter.
