LOS ANGELES -- Golden State lacked its usual outside shooting touch. The Warriors still had an easy time with the Clippers.Klay Thompson scored 24 points, Draymond Green added 22 points and the Warriors won 115-98 Wednesday night for their seventh straight victory over Los Angeles.Stephen Curry had 19 points for Golden State, and Kevin Durant, who came in averaging a team-best 27.0 points, was held to 16 on 5-of-17 shooting.Curry failed to make a 3-pointer for just the second time this season, going 0 of 8. The Warriors were 7 of 30 from long range.You try to affect the games other ways when your shot is not falling, Curry said. Thats kind of the test. To stay locked in and not get frustrated because I know it wont happen that often. Wed like to make every shot every night and have that free-flowing offensive rhythm. But for us, if we can defend and not turn the ball over, were going to be in good shape most nights. Tonight was a testament to that.Jamal Crawford scored 21 points for the Clippers, who have lost five of seven. Four of their seven overall losses have come at home.Our spirit wasnt right, said Chris Paul, who shot 7 of 14. We gave them a lot of baskets. A team that shoots as well as they do, we cant give them points.Blake Griffin struggled, scoring 12 points on 5-of-20 shooting and while committing seven of the Clippers 14 turnovers. J.J. Redick had two points, well under his 15.5 average.I turned the ball over, I missed some easy shots, forced some bad shots, Griffin said. We got some work to do, obviously.The Warriors set a dominant tone in the first quarter when they shot 56 percent. They erased the Clippers one-point lead with a 28-9 run to lead 37-19.Golden States defense smothered the Clippers shooters, who were held to 33 percent in the first, and forced coach Doc Rivers to bring in his second unit. The reserves couldnt get anything going while Thompson, Curry and Green combined to score 15 consecutive points as part of Golden States big run.Great night defensively, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. If we defend like that and take care of the ball, even on a night when shots arent going in, we have a chance to win anywhere, even on the road against a great team.Trailing by 20 early in the second quarter, the Clippers clawed back within seven on three 3-pointers by Crawford, including a rainbow that just beat the shot clock. Paul added seven points and DeAndre Jordan dunked to get to 53-46. But just as quickly, the Warriors restored their lead to 62-49 at halftime, capped by Greens 3-pointer.Even a 12-0 run by the Clippers only cut their deficit to 14 points late in the third after they fell behind by 27 earlier in the quarter. On the Warriors last possession, Curry and two teammates fell down but Kevon Looney still dunked to send them into the fourth leading 91-75.TIP-INSWarriors: Thompson was coming off his career-high 60-point performance against Indiana on Monday.

DAVIE, Fla. -- Ryan Tannehill was back at the Miami Dolphins complex Monday, his left knee injury less serious than first feared.The injury was diagnosed as a sprained ACL and MCL, coach Adam Gase said, meaning Tannehill will avoid surgery.It remains unlikely hell play again this season, and Matt Moore will make his first start since 2011 on Saturday against the New York Jets.When Tannehill was hurt Sunday against Arizona, the Dolphins (8-5) feared a torn ACL that would require surgery and a long, arduous rehabilitation. The Dolphins learned the final diagnosis late Sunday.Better than what we thought, Gase said. I was happy for him. Thats a hard injury to come back from and rehab. Its a long, long process.ACL surgery generally requires at least a nine-month recovery. Gase said the Dolphins dont know how long Tannehill will be sidelined by the sprained knee, but its questionable whether he would be available even deep into the postseason.Its not going to be one game, Gase said. It will be longer than that.Tannehill should be available to take part in the Dolphins offseason program, however.In Arizona, Campbell said he spoke with Tannehill by phone on Monday.I reached out and I apologized to him, Campbell said. It definitely wasnt on purpose. I wasnt trying to hurt the guy. Thats not who I am. Ive never been that kind of guy. I never will be that kind of guy. I know how hard people work to play this game.While Tannehill was at the team complex Monday, Moore was absent -- his wife was having their third child. But hell soon be cramming as the new No. 1 quarterback.Matt is going to go hard, teammate Byron Maxwell said. Hes going to go down fighting. Hes not afraid of the moment. Hes ready for it.Tannehill limped out of Sundays win in the third quarter after being hit by defensive tackle Calais Campbell as he released a completion. Miami led 21-9 when Tannehill was hurt and won 26-23 on a last-second field goal.The victory didnt lighten the Dolphins glum mood. Tannehill was red-eyed on the sideline as the game ended and left the stadium on crutches.Weve got to rally and try to finish this thing for him, safety Michael Thomas said. He was having a great season. Everybody was rallying behind him. So its tough.Everybody is emotional about it. But its a next-man-up mentality, and weve just got to find a way to keep this thing rolling.After a slow start when he came off the bencch against Arizona, Moore led a late drive that ended with the game-winning field goal.ddddddddddddhe Dolphins won for the seventh time in the past eight games and forged a tie with Denver in the race for the final AFC wild-card berth.Only two Dolphins on the active roster have been with the team longer than Moore, a 10-year veteran who joined Miami in 2011.He has 25 starts but none since the Dolphins drafted the durable Tannehill, who started 77 consecutive games in his first five NFL seasons despite taking 213 sacks.Moore has thrown 16 passes in the past four seasons, including five Sunday. He has a 13-12 record as a starter -- giving him a career winning percentage better than Tannehill -- but this week will be the first time Moore has started for a team with a winning record.Moore has 33 touchdown passes, 28 interceptions and a reputation for being an aggressive risk-taker.I know Matt will do whatever we need him to do to win a game, Gase said. I like the fact that hes not afraid to scramble outside the pocket and kind of play a little looser than a lot of coaches like. I like calling plays for him, because you never know what youre going to experience in that play.The new backup quarterback is expected to be rookie Brandon Doughty, a seventh-round draft pick from Western Kentucky who grew up near the Dolphins complex.Tannehill likely finishes 2016 with career highs in passer rating (93.5), completion rate (67.1 percent) and yards per attempt (7.7).It has been his first year working with Gase, a quarterback expert who frequently praised Tannehill for his improvement -- and resilience.I dont know if Ive been around anybody tougher, Gase said. The guy has taken a lot shots since Ive been here, unfortunately. He just keeps bouncing back.On Saturday the Dolphins will also be without center Mike Pouncey, who wont practice this week, Gase said.It will be the fifth game in a row Pouncey has missed because of a hip injury that has limited him to five games this season.--AP Sports Writer Bob Baum in Phoenix contributed to this report.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.
