CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Virginia celebrated the 11th anniversary of its last win over a top 5 team last night -- by doing it again.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers have won seven of their last eight games after a 99-91 decision at Indianapolis last night.

The Pacers were without center Roy Hibbert, who was serving a one-game suspension for his role in a fight against Golden State this week.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson has revealed a plan to keep the NBA's Kings in town. It was announced last night that 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov will submit a bid to buy the team to the NBA today. Pittsburgh Penguins co-owner Ron Burkle will lead the effort to build a new downtown arena that he hopes will also lure back a WNBA franchise to Sacramento.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Chicago goalie Corey Crawford left the game in the first period with an injury but it didn't matter to the red-hot Blackhawks, who blanked the Blues 3-0 in St. Louis. Ray Emery came on and made 15 saves over the final two periods for Chicago, which extended its NHL-record season-opening points streak to 20 games.
