LOS ANGELES -- Even as their leads expand to 30 and sometimes 40 points, the Clippers swear theyre not paying attention to the spread.For the NBAs best team, its all about consistency.Chris Paul had 21 points and nine assists and Blake Griffin added 20 points in a 127-95 rout of the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night that improved the Clippers to 10-1 with their seventh straight victory.We have a singular focus, Paul said. No excuses, we said were going to come out the same way every night. Its all about playing the right way. We got to keep building.Los Angeles came in having outscored opponents by an average of 15.1 points, largest in the league. Brooklyn quickly found itself relegated to the Clippers growing scrap heap.Its actually good for our guys to see a team like this, new Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said.

Theyre angry when the other team scores.Los Angeles raced to a 35-7 lead to start the game, highlighted by Jordans reverse dunk off Griffins alley-oop pass. The Nets didnt score the rest of their 14 first-quarter points until the last two minutes of the period and finished with their lowest point total in a quarter this season.Brooklyn went on its only run of the game in the second, scoring 10 straight points to close to 51-34.Paul re-entered and hit a 3-pointer that launched a 20-13 spurt to give the Clippers a 71-47 halftime lead.Leading 89-59 in the third, Griffin and Jordan energized the fading crowd with consecutive one-handed jams. Griffin stuffed a pass from Redick , and on their next trip up the court, Jordan dunked in front of Justin Hamilton, whose only defense was to stick his arms straight up in the air.The starters work was done after that, with Griffin and Jordan joining Paul, Redick and Mbah a Moute in sitting for good.The Clippers bench increased the lead to 102-71 heading into the fourth, when Griffin was on his feet laughing and pumping his arm in the air.TIP-INSNets: They havent beaten the Clippers in LA since 2010. ...

ATLANTA -- Dennis Schroder was back in his native Germany this past summer, driving around with his best friend, when his cellphone began to buzz.Schroder couldnt check it out while behind the wheel. Even when he got to his mothers house, he still didnt believe what he was seeing.The Atlanta Hawks had traded their longtime point guard, Jeff Teague.When I heard it, I thought they were playing, Schroder said, still shaking his head. Its a big chance for me, a big opportunity. Ive got to prove myself now.While the signing of Dwight Howard generated much of the offseason buzz in Atlanta, the decision to go with Schroder could turn out to be more significant for the Hawks.Still only 23 but with three NBA seasons under his belt, Schroder has the potential to be one of the NBAs top point guards, an immensely creative player who can cause all sorts of problems with his speed and quickness.The Hawks are hoping the pairing of Howard with Schroder will lead a revamped team that reached the Eastern Conference finals two years ago, only to take a significant step backward last season.Hes got a lot of confidence, coach Mike Budenholzer said. I think he understands what were doing at a very deep level, what we expect on both ends of the court. I think he carries himself with a belief and confidence thats befitting a starter.Schroder and Howard are still getting used to each other.During a preseason game Thursday night against Detroit, Schroder lost one defender with a dazzling crossover, and then split two more defenders as he darted into the lane. He tossed up a lob, expecting Howard to be there, but the ball went right to the Pistons.Atlantas new big man didnt anticipate what his point guard had in mind. Clearly, its going to be an adjustment going from previous Atlanta center Al Horford -- really, more of a power forward -- to Howard, a dominating inside presence but not as well-rounded as his predecessor.Schroder expects opposing teams to sag toward the basket at every opportunity, looking both to limit Howard and choke off the potential driving lanes. Thats why Schroder spent much of the summer working on his jump shot. He often stays after practice to get in extra work with Atlantas best outside shooter, Kyle Korver.With Dwight rolling to the rrim and putting a lot of pressure on the rim, were probably going to get a lot of open shots, Schroder said.dddddddddddd I think the mid-range jumper is going to be open all day. Ive got to shoot them.After being drafted 17th overall in 2013, Schroder played sparingly as a rookie. But he made a big leap in Year 2, averaging 10 points and 4.1 assists on a team that set a franchise record by going 60-22.Schroder continued to play behind Teague a season ago but was often on the court in the closing minutes of big games, including the playoffs. With Teague entering the final year of his contract, the Hawks dealt him to Indiana for a first-round pick and put their faith fully in Schroder, who averaged 11 points and 4.4 assists while Teagues production sagged.It changed in no time, like, everything, Schroder said. Im just trying to get better every day and take the next step.With increased minutes, Schroder knows he must alter his style of play. Coming off the bench, he could just go, go, go at both ends of the court.Full court (defense) is probably not going to work for 82 games, Schroder said, breaking into a smile. Ive got to get used to playing 30 to 35 minutes a game.Hes been getting advice from teammate Kent Bazemore, who earned a similar promotion. A high-energy bench player when he first signed with the Hawks, Bazemore had to learn how to pace himself a bit when he moved into the starting lineup.Its definitely an adjustment for him, Bazemore said. He likes to pressure like crazy. Obviously, with him playing a lot more minutes, its a lot harder to do that.But Bazemore and his teammates have no doubt the Hawks are in good hands with Schroder.Hes just trying to find his role, find his niche, find out how he can be more effective at both ends of the floor, Bazemore said. Hes definitely gotten a lot better with the ball in his hands. Hes starting to make the right reads, getting a lot of guys involved, getting more vocal as the point guard. Hes doing all the right things.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 . His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/paul-newberry . ' ' '
