NEW YORK -- CP3 mimicked giving CPR on a night that looked like lots of laughs for Los Angeles.Funny turned to fiery by the end, as an enraged Doc Rivers was thrown out as his team blew one in Brooklyn.Sean Kilpatrick scored 31 of his career-high 38 points after the third quarter and the Nets stopped a seven-game losing streak with a 127-122 double-overtime victory over the Clippers on Tuesday night.The Clippers started the game without Blake Griffin, ended it without Rivers and dropped their third straight game by coughing up an 18-point lead while not showing enough respect for the game in their coachs mind.We were walking around like we done something and that bothers me because weve done (nothing). We havent done (anything), Rivers said. For us to walk around against a team, that to me is playing their hearts out every night just to win one game, us to walk around like we done something, it bothers me on a basketball level.Chris Paul had 26 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds for the Clippers, but the best guard on the floor in crunch time was Kilpatrick, who also had a career-best 14 rebounds.Brook Lopez added 27 points for the Nets, who trailed 86-68 with 2 minutes left in the third quarter.We were down 20, then next minute you know we just kept chipping it down, Kilpatrick said. Then next minute I knew we were down four, and I was like yo, its on now. Its game time.DeAndre Jordan had 21 points and 23 rebounds for the Clippers, who rested Griffin, their leading scorer, ahead of a game in Cleveland on Thursday.Anybody in the league knows, they say, you mess with the game and like you said, the basketball gods got us, Paul said.The Clippers started 39-year-old Paul Pierce, who had played in just two games, in place of Griffin. Pierce had played just 17 minutes all season but logged 29 minutes in this one, such an increase in workload that Paul pushed down on his chest a few times on the court at one point, pretending to give CPR after Pierce fell on his back while being fouled on a dunk attempt.The Clippers were serious by the end.Rivers was tossed late in the first OT, becoming enraged and having to be held back by Clippers players and assistants as he tried to get at referee Ken Mauer. Rivers appeared upset about a call on the other end of the floor, walking out of the coaching box and almost all the way to the Nets bench.Mauer said crossing over midcourt was an automatic technical and the second was for language and behavior.Rivers missed Kilpatricks masterful finish, which he capped with a three-point play with 13.5 seconds left.The Nets, still playing without point guard Jeremy Lin, ended a skid that started with a 127-95 loss at the Clippers on Nov. 14.Los Angeles had lost in Detroit and Indiana in its last two games, managing just 70 points Sunday against the Pacers in its lowest-scoring game in 13 years. Rivers pointed to some defensive lapses as the bigger concern, and they certainly struggled to stay in front of Kilpatrick, who was just 3 for 14 after three quarters.TIP-INSClippers: J.J. Redick made a 3-poiner in his 75th straight game, tying one of Stephen Currys streaks for sixth-longest in NBA history. Currys NBA-record 157-game streak was snapped earlier this season.Nets: Coach Kenny Atkinson still couldnt give a timetable on Lin, saying the point guard who missed his 12th straight game with a strained left hamstring was working hard and progressing as planned.DOC IS JUST A NICKNAMEThe Clippers have increased their spending on biometrics this season, and Rivers -- first name Glenn -- was asked if he relied on that to determine Griffin would sit.I clearly didnt, Im not smart enough to use biometrics, Rivers said. But the people we hired did, and they told me biometrically that this would be a good day for him to rest.UP NEXTClippers: Visit Cleveland on Thursday night. The Clippers have lost the last four meetings.Nets: Host Milwaukee on Thursday night, opening a home-and-home series against former Nets star and coach Jason Kidds Bucks, who have won the last five meetings.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/BriancmahoneyRickey Jackson Jersey .

Denver netted 5,688 yards, its lowest total since 2011.Were better as a group, running back C.J. Anderson said. We dont want to rely on defense too much. We got too comfortable with that last year. We want to do our part on this team.Quarterback Trevor Siemian gets a chance to prove the offense is better when Denver faces the Los Angeles Rams strong defense in Saturdays preseason game. Siemian was a full participant in Thursdays practice after being limited Wednesday with a sore right shoulder. He will start for the second straight game.Coach Gary Kubiak said he will decide Friday whether Mark Sanchez or rookie Paxton Lynch will serve as the No. 2 quarterback against the Rams.Uncertainty at quarterback wasnt the case the previous four training camps. Manning was the clear No. 1 until injuries compromised his play last year. He was inactive for six games with plantar fasciitis in his right foot but returned in the final game of the regular season and started all three playoff games.Mannings 18 seasons of experience have given way to Siemian, who took one snap as a rookie last year. That inexperience hasnt worried the rest of the offense.Hes been doing great, I think hes ready to go, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said. I knew he was a hard worker from last year. He earned my respect as a rookie.Siemiian has benefited from a year in Kubiaks system, which gave him an edge over the veteran Sanchez and Lynch entering training camp.ddddddddddddThe rest of the offense also feels more comfortable in its second year in Kubiaks offense. Anderson said the offensive line is stronger and the offense is more cohesive than it was a year ago, which tailored its style to fit Manning.The jump, the leap we have is just non-explanatory, Anderson said. Its just amazing where were at right now. I told (running backs) coach (Eric Studesville) Im happy where were at this year than we were last year. We know the system better.Kubiaks system will feature the running game more this season. The Broncos averaged 141.5 rushing yards a game when he was Denvers offensive coordinator from 1995-2005 before becoming Houstons head coach for eight seasons. That included Terrell Davis 2,008 yards in 1998.Denvers offense has been heavy on the pass during the first two preseason games to give the coaching staff a better chance to evaluate the quarterbacks. The Broncos plan to run the ball more against the RamsOur main focus right now is getting the running game going, Thomas said. Once we get the running game going the passing game will come. I think itll be better than what we had last year.Kubiak will continue to evaluate his quarterbacks against the Rams.Im looking at whats taken place the last six months, he said. How theyve handled themselves, how theyve handled the team and how they respond to things.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
