(SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Red Wings aim to match their longest winning streak of the season and grab sole possession of second place in the Atlantic Division on Sunday night when they take on the skidding Buffalo Sabres. The Red Wings have won three straight and five of their last six games, putting them in a tie with the Montreal Canadiens in the division with 59 points. Tampa Bay is leading the Atlantic with 62 points and is idle on Sunday along with the Habs. Detroit, meanwhile, plays for a second night in a row after topping the Nashville Predators 5-2 on Saturday. Tomas Tatar had two goals -- giving him a career high 20 on the season -- and an assist to pace the rout. Gustav Nyquist tallied a goal and an assist, Henrik Zetterberg and Kyle Quincey each scored and Pavel Datsyuk, Riley Sheahan and Niklas Kronwall each had two assists. Detroit scored just 57 seconds in as part of a three-goal first period and got 34 saves by netminder Petr Mrazek. I thought the guys got off to a good start, Detroit head coach Mike Babcock said. Then (Mrazek) was big and square. The Red Wings won a season-high four in a row from Nov. 24-30 and could go with Mrazek again tonight with No. 1 Jimmy Howard out with a groin injury. Mrazek has never faced the Sabres. Detroit is a good bet to match its season-high win streak given it has won two straight, 10 of 11 and 20 of its past 24 versus Buffalo. That includes six in a row at home, with the Sabres having not won in Motown since Oct. 13, 2006. These current Sabres dont appear likely to reverse that trend as they come in having lost a franchise-record 10 straight in regulation. Last nights 4-3 setback to the Philadelphia Flyers made Buffalo the first team to lose 10 in a row in regulation since the Pittsburgh Penguins from Jan. 6-23, 2006. Zemgus Girgensons snapped an eight-game pointless streak with a pair of goals, while Tyler Ennis scored and Chris Stewart posted two assists. If you dont go to the net, if you dont carry the puck and you dont fight your way in their, youre not going to have a chance, Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. Michal Neuvirth allowed all four Philadelphia scores on 32 shots. Buffalo has not won since Dec. 27 at home versus the New York Islanders and is tied with Edmonton for the fewest points in the NHL with 31. The Sabres also have lost 10 straight on the road since a victory in Montreal on Nov. 29. They kick off a five-game swing tonight.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Clippers made a silent protest against owner Donald Sterling before Game 4 of their Western Conference playoff series against Golden State. The Warriors made a different kind of statement during the game. And just like that, a series pulled into a race-related scandal took another twist. Stephen Curry made a career playoff-high seven 3-pointers and scored 33 points, leading the Warriors past the Clippers 118-97 on Sunday to even their first-round series at two games apiece. "We wanted to come out and focus on all the work weve put in over the summer, throughout the course of the season to get ready for this moment in the playoffs and just have fun and enjoy it -- not let one person ruin it for everybody," Curry said. The game almost became an afterthought -- until tipoff anyway -- after an audio recording was posted Saturday online by TMZ purportedly of Sterling making comments urging a woman to not bring black people to his teams games. The alleged comments, which are under investigation by the NBA, have set off reactions of anger and calls for action through the league. Clippers players made a silent protest against Sterling by shedding their warm-up jerseys and going through the pregame routine with their red shirts on inside out. They also wore black bands on their wrists or arms and black socks in a show of solidarity. Clippers coach Doc Rivers said he knew what his players had planned but didnt voice his opinion. He said he wasnt thrilled about the demonstration, though he didnt elaborate why. Curry and company did a better job focusing from the start. The All-Star guard made his first five 3s to give Golden State a 20-point lead in the first quarter that held up most of the way. Curry shot 10 for 20 from the floor, including 7 of 14 from beyond the arc, and had seven assists and seven rebounds to help the Warriors snap a two-game losing skid. "I just thought they were the tougher team and it wasnt even close. Should have been a first round knockout," Rivers said. Golden State outshot Los Angeles 55.4 to 42.9 per cent. The Clippers had 19 turnovers, while the Warriors had a series-low 15 turnovers. Both coaches and players agreed that Sterlings purported comments affected their preparation, and neither side believed it was a determining factor in the outcome. "I think both teams were somewhat bothered by what has taken place the last 24 hours," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "But my guys just played with great energy, great effort." Rivers blamed himself for not getting his players ready. "Im not going to deny that we had other stuff," he said. "I just believe when the game starts, the gamme starts and nobody cares anymore.dddddddddddd Golden State surely didnt care." Game 5 is Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Andre Iguodala added 22 points and nine assists, and David Lee, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes each scored 15 as the Warriors went to a smaller lineup to regain their shooting touch in front of a roaring, gold-shirt wearing sellout crowd of 19,596 that stood after every swish. "It just all came together," said Iguodala, who also had nine assists and four rebounds. Jamal Crawford scored 26 points, and Blake Griffin had 21 points and six rebounds for a Clippers team wrapped up in the most talked-about topic in sports. "Maybe our focus wasnt in the right place would be the easiest way to say it," Clippers guard J.J. Redick said. New NBA Commissioner Adam Silver attended the game and met privately with former All-Star guard and current Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who is advising the players union on the Sterling situation. Johnson even held a news conference during halftime that spilled well into the third quarter. Silver has said he hopes for a quick resolution after the league investigates, and that Sterling has already agreed not to attend Game 5. Johnson said the players trust Silver and are hoping for a quick resolution -- and the harshest penalty possible if the audio recording is authenticated. Once the ball was thrown up and the crowd roared, the Warriors quickly put the Clippers in a hole they could never recover from. Currys five 3-pointers in the first quarter tied a franchise-playoff record for a quarter, matching a mark he and Thompson set last year. Golden State led by 20 in the first quarter, 23 in the second quarter and 66-48 at the half. Jackson used a smaller lineup -- with power forward David Lee playing centre for long stretches instead of Jermaine ONeal, whom Jackson said requested the switch -- to spread the floor more than he had at any point in the series, which big man Andrew Bogut has missed with a fractured right rib. The Clippers never closed within single digits at any point in the second half. Curry kept on shooting -- and kept on hitting -- to send the series back to Los Angeles tied. And with so many in an uproar over Sterlings purported comments, theres no telling what the scene will be like at Staples Center. "Were going home now, and usually that would mean were going to our safe haven," Rivers said. "And I dont even know if thats true." NOTES: The Warriors have won 16 of their past 19 home games against the Clippers. ... Sterlings wife, Rochelle "Shelley" Sterling, sat in a courtside seat across from the Clippers bench. ' ' '
