Stop the presses: Clippers beat the Heat

The Miami Heat came to town on a 13-game road win streak. They had LeBron James and friends. And they were playing the Clippers.

Advantage Clippers. Eric Gordon scored 26 for Los Angeles, Blake Griffin had 24 points with 14 rebounds, and the Clips won 111-105. Owner Donald Sterling reportedly offered to buy a round of tacky testimonial ads in local newspapers.
