LOS ANGELES -- At 6-1, the Los Angeles Clippers are off to the best start in the history of a once-beleaguered franchise. They believe they can be even better.Chris Paul scored 24 points and made five of the Clippers season-high 13 3-pointers in a 114-80 rout of the Pistons on Monday night, their 11th consecutive victory against Detroit.Thats the Clippers second-longest active winning streak against any opponent.We keep talking about not getting complacent, Paul said. One of the biggest things we keep talking about is finishing.Both teams starters rested in the fourth quarter, when Detroits reserves never got closer than 34 points in the final minute.Andre Drummond had 15 points and 13 rebounds to lead Detroit, which shot 37 percent and went 4 for 12 on 3-pointers in its worst loss of the young season.This game will bother me for a couple of days, Drummond said. You need to learn from a game like this and dont brush it off. You dont forget the embarrassment and you dont want to feel like that again.J.J. Redick added 20 points, including three 3-pointers and all five of his free throws for the Clippers, who shot 54 percent. Blake Griffin just missed a triple-double with 13 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.Paul was 8 of 10 from the field and 3 of 4 at the free throw line.

Griffin had eight in the 17-0 spurt in which five players scored. Los Angeles shot 67 percent in the period and ended it leading 33-15.Even when youre up 30 or 20, there shouldnt be a letup, Griffin said.The Clippers bench kept up the pace in the second quarter, building a 47-19 lead to open the period, helped by consecutive 3-pointers from Wesley Johnson, Raymond Felton and Jamal Crawford. The team had five 3s in the period, which ended with a 10-0 run that sent the Clippers into halftime ahead 62-32.Nothing positive came out of this game. Its like starting at ground zero again, Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said. They dismantled us.Los Angeles hit five 3-pointers in the third, stretching its lead to 91-53. The Clippers scored six straight on Griffins free throw, Pauls step-back 3 in front of Detroits bench and DeAndre Jordans dunk off Griffins alley-oop pass.TIP-INSPistons: F Reggie Bullock missed playing against his old team because of a hip pointer. ... Detroit fell to 0-3 on the road. ... The 15 points in the first quarter were the fewest the Pistons have scored in any period this season, and their 32 at halftime was also a season low.Clippers: They hit a season-high seven 3-pointers in the first half, with Paul making all three of his attempts. ...

Jordan had 10 rebounds and the Clippers controlled the boards, 46-39.ISH MISSPistons guard Ish Smith was 1 of 9 from the floor and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope missed all six of his shots.I cant say what I want to say (about how we played), but they shot the ball well and we missed lots of shots, said Smith, who was averaging 10.5 points. They punched us in the mouth and they made it tough on us. We tried to keep it within striking distance but it got out of hand.Caldwell-Pope came in averaging 12.8 points.SMALL CONSOLATIONThe only quarter the Pistons won was the fourth when their reserves outscored the Clippers bench 29-23.Detroit outscored Los Angeles 40-32 in the paint and 13-2 on second-chance points.Detroits lone lead of two points came early in the opening quarter.HE SAID ITI dont want to forget this game until we fix it.

Stuart Broad is set to play in the Big Bash League if he fails to make Englands limited-overs squad to tour India in January.ESPNcricinfo understands Broad is close to agreeing terms with a BBL team, most likely the Hobart Hurricanes, as he attempts to reinvigorate his white-ball career and force his way back into contention for Englands ODI squad ahead of the 2017 Champions Trophy and the 2019 World Cup.On Tuesday the ECB will announce the squad to face Pakistan during the five-match Royal London ODI series and it appears unlikely Broad will be included in the current set-up. He has played just two ODIs - in South Africa in February - since Englands dismal World Cup campaign in 2015, as the selectors have turned to a new crop of limited-overs seamers.But Broad has made it clear he has not given up on an international career with the white ball. When he was omitted from the ODI squad for the series against Sri Lanka in June, he indicated he would explore other avenues tto prove his merit in limited-overs formats.ddddddddddddIf he is not named in the squad to face Pakistan he will have few opportunities for Nottinghamshire in the remaining Royal London One-Day Cup fixtures to make his case for selection ahead of Englands tours of Bangladesh and India.With 50-over cricket becoming the focus in the lead-up to the Champions Trophy, England wont play Test cricket between the final match in Chennai and the first Test of the series against South Africa in July.Englands fifth Test against India finishes on December 20 in Chennai and Hobarts first match in the BBL is an away fixture against the Sydney Sixers three days later, meaning Broad - who has taken 65 wickets in T20 Internationals at an average of 22.93 - could potentially be available for the entire competition, which culminates in the final on January 28.
