    Blake Griffin and his Clippers teammates figured they deserved the unpleasant critique from coach Doc Rivers at halftime. So they took it to heart and completed the franchise's greatest road comeback in more than a decade.

    "He got into us a little bit. He said all the things we needed to hear," Griffin said of Rivers' locker-room talk before the Clippers' dominant third quarter. "When coaches say what you need to hear and players come out and execute on it, it's a perfect harmony."

    Griffin had 27 points and 12 rebounds, capped by his crushing 3-pointer with 43 seconds left, and Los Angeles beat New Orleans 112-103 on Sunday in the Pelicans' first game since a season-ending injury to All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins.
