LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Clippers success isnt just because of Blake Griffins scoring and Chris Pauls playmaking. The dramatic improvement in rebounding has been an integral part as well. Paul had 28 points and 15 assists, Griffin added 25 points, and the Clippers held their own on the glass against one of the NBAs top teams in that department en route to a 112-103 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night. DeAndre Jordan had 12 rebounds for the Pacific Division leaders, who have had at least one player with double-digit rebounds in a franchise-record 46 consecutive games. The previous mark was 44, by the 1977 Buffalo Braves. "Well take it," Jordan said. "But weve got to keep building on it, because that was the knock on us last year. We gave up too many rebounds and too many offensive boards. But now, I feel like were getting better as a team. We cant get out and score the way we can without controlling the glass. Theyre a big team, so we knew we had to be physical early." Andre Drummond had 16 points and 12 boards during an intense matchup of the leagues top two players in rebounding and field goal percentage. Jordan came in leading Drummond in both categories, and is trying to join Wilt Chamberlain and Dwight Howard as the only players in NBA history to finish a season that way. Chamberlain did it eight times, and Howard did it in 2009-10 with Orlando. "Id be in great company, and it would be a great accomplishment for me," Jordan said. "But at the same time, we have a bigger goal. So I just want to continue to play the way that Im playing and build on that." Jordan acknowledged how much he was looking forward to this latest Andre vs. DeAndre showdown — and the next one. "Its not just the fact that were one and two, but anytime theres a young big out there whos playing well and theres going to be competition, I love that," Jordan said. The Clippers, coming off a 110-100 loss at Denver that ended their 11-game overall winning streak, extended their home winning streak to seven. They shot 54 per cent from the field and improved to 24-1 when finishing at 50 per cent or better. "We just knew that we needed to come back in here and try to get another streak started," Paul said. "We didnt want to come out flat, and I think we did all right." Jonas Jerebko tied a career high with 22 points off the bench and had nine rebounds for the Pistons, who have lost five in a row and 13 straight on the road. "Its tough to lose the game and I cant be too happy about it," Jerebko said. "But at least I saw the ball go through the rim a couple of times. It made the game come a lot easier to me." The Pistons have lost the last six meetings with the Clippers, including a 112-103 decision on Jan. 20 at Detroit despite Rodney Stuckeys season-high 29 points. Stuckey had six points in the rematch, making three of eight shots. Danny Grangers four-point play gave the Clippers a 92-81 remaining after Jerebko fouled him with 7:53 remaining. The Pistons got it down to 100-94 with 3:53 left after back-to-back layups by Greg Monroe. But Paul responded with seven points in the final 2:44 to close it out. Los Angeles got 15 points from Paul and 13 by Griffin before intermission. Detroit fell behind by 13 late in the first quarter before taking its first lead, 42-41, on an alley-oop dunk by Drummond that was set up by Will Bynum with 7 minutes left in the second quarter. Jerebko capped the 24-7 run about 2 minutes later with a 16-footer for a 47-43 advantage.

The dean of Canadian curlers -- with four national titles, a world championship, both a gold and silver at the Olympics and a record 18 Grand Slams on the World Curling Tour -- looked around and saw plenty his age or older holding brooms. "I thought this year there would be a lot of guys retiring," Martin, 47, said Tuesday. "I thought I would just be one of the many. As it turns out, Im the only one. Theres nobody else, Im the only guy!" Instead of retiring, other senior skips have played a game of musical chairs as teams have reformed and players have moved about the country. And Martin says the desire to secure that all-important Olympic berth is the reason. "The shuffling I think is completely because of the Olympics and that curling has become a four-year sport," he said. Younger teams are looking at skips at or near 50-plus and wondering whether they have what it takes to compete, not just next season but also down the road. And those skips who have never won that Olympic berth (as Martin did three times, failing to earn a medal in 1992) are reluctant to give up while they think theres still a chance. Manitobas Jeff Stoughton, 50, who has parted ways with his former team and formed a new one and Ontarios Glenn Howard, 51, who has seen his squad fragment as well, are cases in point. "Its hard I think for young guys to be with a 50, 51, 52 or whatever age guy and think four years down the road," Martin said. "Thats not easy. "Jeff and Glenn still play brilliantly but will they in four years? I dont think they can answer that." The result has been a lot of movement. "Its really exciting. Its probably the most excitement Ive seen in our sport in a long time," said Martin. "I think the young guys that are coming up are dealing with it really well by doing all of these shakeups and trying to figure out how they can get the very, very best team." The latest move was Kevin Koes former Alberta team, which is the reigning national champion, picking up former B.C. skip John Morris on Tuesday to take them into key events next season, including a return trip to the Tim Hortons Brier. Its the first time the current mens champion will get an automatic ticket without haviing to win a provincial title.dddddddddddd Two younger teams at the elite level remain intact: Olympic gold-medallist Brad Jacobs, 28, and his team from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and Mike McEwen, 33, from Winnipeg. Former Olympic champ Brad Gushue, 33, from Newfoundland and Labrador has made only one move, returning former teammate Mark Nichols, who had been curling with Stoughton. After finishing out of the medals at the world championships, Koe, 39, announced a new team that includes Marc Kennedy at third, Ben Hebert at lead and Brent Laing at second. Kennedy and Hebert won Olympic gold with Martin and Laing was a two-time world champion with Howard. "Those are your top four I think going forward," said Martin of those four teams. After watching all the moves, though, does Martin have any second thoughts about his decision to quit the game? "I am so ready. To be honest with you, I think I was ready after Vancouver," he insists. But Martin recognizes that had he pulled the plug then, at the age of 43, he might have come out of retirement. Theres no chance of that now. "Im in a real good spot, Im busy outside the ice," he said. "Theres tons of stuff going on." First, hes got a new job as a broadcaster and curling ambassador with Rogers Sportsnet. Then theres his curling store in Edmonton, part interest in a golf-course development in Phoenix and his curling academies to run. For Martin, the icing on the cake this year was going out a winner after being disappointed at the Olympic curling trials. He beat Jacobs 4-3 in the mens final Sunday to win the Players Championship in the final tournament of his career, his 18th Grand Slam win on the professional tour he played a role in developing. "To have the 18th Slam work out . . . it makes it all that much easier," he said. As for the only thing he regrets in a lifetime of curling, it was that failure to medal in 1992, when curling was still an Olympic demonstration sport. He knew he wasnt good enough to win gold that year. "But then we played the U.S. in the bronze game and thats a game I think we should have won," Martin said. For one thing, it would have given him one of each medal. "The one game . . . over all the years that Id like to have back is that bronze game in 1992," he added.
