(SportsNetwork.com) - The Los Angeles Clippers have lost two of three, but will try to get some momentum going Saturday night when they visit Sleep Train Arena to meet the Sacramento Kings. The two losses for the Clippers in the last week both came at home. They fell to the Miami Heat on Sunday, beat the Trail Blazers in Portland on Wednesday, then couldnt handle LeBron James and Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Cleveland prevailed, 126-121, as James and Irving combined for 69 points. They made a lot of shots, but we can be a better defensive team than that, said Clippers coach Doc Rivers. The Cavs shot 55.4 percent from the floor and 43.5 percent from long range. Blake Griffin had 34 points and 10 boards, Chris Paul totaled 15 points, 14 assists and eight rebounds and DeAndre Jordan had 19 points and 12 boards in defeat. Matt Barnes added 17 points, followed by 14 from J.J. Redick and 13 out of Jamal Crawford.

DeMarcus Cousins scored 17 to go with 11 rebounds to pace the Kings. Cousins committed eight of Sacramentos 15 turnovers, which led to 17 Miami points.

Ben McLemore had 15 points, followed by Darren Collison with 13, Ray McCallum with 11 and Derrick Williams with 10. The Kings played without Rudy Gay, who was out with a left knee lateral joint capsule sprain. The injury occurred with in the first quarter of Tuesdays game versus Dallas.

Thats how long its been between CFL football games in Ottawa. The Ottawa Renegades bid farewell to the CFL on November 5th, 2005 with a 27-17 victory over the Toronto Argonauts. Now the Argos provide the opposition again as the Redblacks hope to open up the new TD Place Stadium with their first win in franchise history. "Its a moment the fans and the city have been looking forward to for a long time," Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris said Thursday. "Emotions are going to be running wild. The people cant wait. I know we cant wait. But our focus is on making sure we do our jobs and execute the plays. Thats going to be the most important factor in determining if we get the victory or not." Over 100 Rough Riders and Renegades alumni are expected to be in attendance Friday, including the likes of Russ Jackson and Tony Gabriel. Burris says hes thankful for the legacy they created. "We truly want to honour this city, the former Ottawa football players, and the people who helped bring football back to this city. We get to take that torch now and carry on thhe legacy of a proud franchise that won a lot of Grey Cup championships.dddddddddddd Now its time for us to get it out of the drought." That drought includes no playoff appearances since 1994, no playoff wins since 1982, no winning season since 1979, while the last of Ottawas nine Grey Cup titles came in 1976. But fans have turned the page, believing things will be different on and off the field. There is no sign of Horn Chen or Lonie Glieberman. No drafting dead people or Mardi Gras promotions. The local ownership group, spearheaded by Jeff Hunt, has inspired confidence to the tune of over 17,000 season tickets. Tickets on the secondary market for Fridays sold-out opener ranged from $167 to $2,000. Its the hottest ticket in the Capital, and Burris says it will be one of the highlights of his 18 year professional career. "I played in the first Monday night game following 9/11. Ive played in Grey Cups. Those are some pretty emotional times for me. I can only imagine just how emotional and how much energy is going to be in this stadium and this entire city." ' ' '
