CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Chris Paul said he spoke with Blake Griffin recently about getting back to what the Los Angeles Clippers do best.For the teams two superstars, that means working the pick and roll.This is our fourth year together and obviously your game changes and evolves and stuff like that, but we both realize our bread and butter used to be when I would attack downhill and he was rolling to the basket, Paul said. So we are trying to mix that in more.Griffin had 22 points and a season-high 16 rebounds, Paul had 22 points and a season-high 15 assists as the Clippers handed the Charlotte Hornets their sixth straight loss 113-92 on Monday night.Griffin finished one assist shy of a triple-double and Paul moved past Jerry West into 25th place all-time in NBA annals in assists.I thought Blake and Chris set the tone for us on both ends and I thought that was the difference, said Clippers coach Doc Rivers.The Clippers (8-5) outscored the Hornets by 39 points from beyond the 3-point arc.Jamal Crawford had 21 points and J.J. Redick added 17, combining to shoot 9 of 17 from 3-point range. As a team the Clippers were 15 of 32 on 3-point attempts; the Hornets were just 2 of 20.When you see J.J. and those guys getting open 3s like that its not because I did anything special, its because our bigs did a great job rolling, Paul said.Cody Zeller led the way for Charlotte with a career-high 17 points. Al Jefferson had 16 points and Kemba Walker 15 for the Hornets (4-11), who have lost eight of their last nine games.Lance Stephenson, Charlottes big free agent acquisition, was a non-factor with three points and six assists. He did not play in the fourth quarter even after Gary Neal left the game with a shoulder injury. Coach Steve Clifford said Stephensons lack of ball movement is one of the reasons he took him out of the game.Paul and Walker played a game within a game, each trying to get the better of each other on various possessions.Paul had six assists in the opening quarter and showed off his skills in the low post by posting up Walker and scoring on a pair of turnaround jump shots over the fellow point guard.That seemed to ignite Walker, who responded with a nifty crossover move that left Paul stumbling to regain his balance as he drained a step-back jumper from 17 feet. Paul didnt seem to take kindly to being shown up, knocking down an 18-footer on the ensuing possession.Clifford said the Hornets need to keep plugging despite the losing streak.We cant lose our spirit, Clifford said. To be a good team in this league it takes a lot of things but your best players have to be prideful and hard players. Al and Kemba tonight showed again theyre going to fight for this and theyre going to try hard to get this turned around.___TIP-INSClippers: Matt Barnes sat out with a calf injury and Rivers said his starting forward could miss the teams next game as well.Hornets: Forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist remains out with a stress reaction in his foot and Clifford said hes nowhere near being close to ready to return.KOBE VS. MICHAEL: With Kobe Bryant approaching Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list, Rivers was asked to weigh in who is better. We still have to play Kobe, so I will make my opinion when theyre all out (of the league) and they cant hurt you, Rivers said with a laugh. Right now Kobe can hurt me, so I say nothing. But Michael is Michael. I mean cmon, Michael is Michael. I saw a lot of him and like him better in a suit and tie.STATISTICAL ODDITY: Hornets forward Marvin Williams started all 15 games and played more than 360 minutes this season before attempting his first two free throws on Monday night.

Toronto is 2-5 in its last seven home games with the White Sox and goes with lefty J.A. Happ to start the series opener. Hes lasted fewer than five innings in two of his last three starts, including a four-inning outing against Cincinnati on Saturday in which he was touched for eight runs and walked four. "The walks - thats terrible," Happ said. "Thats obviously frustrating. Of course Im not happy about that, and I need to do better." He was 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in two meetings with Chicago in 2013. The Blue Jays were denied a series sweep on Wednesday versus New York, as Mark Teixeira homered and drove in three runs to power the Yankees to a 5-3 victory. Jose Reyes finished 3-for-5 with two runs scored, while Melky Cabrera ended 2- for-4 with a two-run single for the AL East-leading Blue Jays. Drew Hutchison (5-6) was handed the loss after permitting four runs in six innings. Chicago was two outs from a victory over Baltimore on Monday before a three- run walk-off home run yielded a 6-4 loss.dddddddddddd. Two days later, the White Sox led by four runs with two outs in the eighth before a game-tying grand slam ultimately turned into a 5-4 loss to the Orioles. Six losses in seven games overall have dropped them into last in the American Leagues Central Division. "The baseball gods must be upset with us in some way, shape, or form," Adam Eaton said. "They kind of had it out for us." Rookie right-hander Scott Carroll begins a second run in the starting rotation against the Blue Jays after going 1-3 with a 6.15 earned run average in the initial stint. He was sent to the bullpen after those five starts and hasnt begun a game since May 19. He posted a 1.83 ERA in six relief outings and was brought back to starting to replace Andre Rienzo. He has never faced the Blue Jays. Carroll could sidestep a meeting with Toronto slugger Jose Bautista, whos been hampered by left hamstring issues. Bautista leads the AL in on-base percentage. "Hes getting better, he feels better," manager John Gibbons said. "We want to make good and sure hes ready to go. Hes making progress."
