Aaron Francis has given Essendon more hope for the future on a day where they showed why there is so little to like about the present.Sundays 37-point loss to Brisbane at Etihad Stadium was their 15th in a row - a club record.Essendon had 12 more inside 50s and three more scoring shots, but once again their goal-kicking was woeful and they could manage only 12.19.The Lions also whacked them in the clearances 47-33.For the first time all season, Essendon went into this game as favourites, but Brisbane were better from the start and the Bombers were never quite able to redress the balance.What also became apparent very early in the match is that the hype surrounding Francis is justified.Essendon took Darcy Parish at No.5 in 2015s national draft and Francis one selection later.While Parish has enjoyed an outstanding debut season, injury delayed Francis debut until now.There were no signs of nerves as Francis took several impressive marks in defence.He also looked encouraging when the Bombers played him up forward later in the match.His ability to take a mark is really top-notch already, coach John Worsfold said.Francis is the latest player this season to give Essendon hope that their fortunes might be about to change.Parish, Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti and Orazio Francis have made great debuts.But it is still a makeshift team, missing 12 players through doping suspensions, and it plays that way.Theres a pattern over the last six weeks where weve actually started to create ball winning and ball movement to get it inside 50, Worsfold said.But were not finishing the job off as we should.Were not getting the rewards from that hard work.Worsfold joked that if Essendon were to bring in a goal-kicking coach now, it would be a full-time role.Its not a part-time job for us, where were at, he said.We need to make sure we have a clear plan and an understanding of why our inaccuracy is as it is and what were doing about fixing it.Worsfold also pointed to the inside 50s count as a sign that Essendon were making the effort.The boys are still trying, theyre not up to it at the moment, he said.Key forward Joe Daniher sprayed a couple of shots at goal, but still finished with 4.1 despite having to leave the ground with a mouth injury early in the game.I dont know if he wears a mouthguard - I would be horrified if he doesnt, Worsfold said.Some players elect not to (and) I just cant fathom the risks theyre taking.Bobby Okereke Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding.The Los Angeles Clippers have been playing so proficiently that they have expressed dissatisfaction after victories this season.Theyre really going to be in a foul mood after letting one slip away.Los Angeles (10-2) brings the NBAs best record to Sacramento on Friday night, and they will have had 48 hours to stew before they take the floor at Golden 1 Center. The Clippers saw the end to a seven-game winning streak in a 111-107 overtime loss at home to the Memphis Grizzlies. Los Angeles fought back from a 15-point halftime deficit, but guard J.J. Reddicks 3-pointer with the Clippers down two and four seconds left was knocked away from behind.It was Los Angeles first loss since Nov. 2 at Oklahoma City.Its a learning point. Its a lesson, Clippers forward Blake Griffin said after the game. Putting ourselves in such a big hole makes late game (situations) so intense for every little thing. It messes you up. I think its good. We love to win them all, but it will be good for us.The early going has been as good to the Clippers as anyone, and theyve been spurred by defense. Per NBA.com, the Clippers allow 94.6 points per 100 possessions, the best mark in the league. Theyve held nine of their 12 opponents below 100 points, and the 111 scored by the Grizzlies marked a season high by an opponent.They also have outscored opponents by 208 points in their first 12 games, an average of 17.3 per contest. They average 108.7 points per game, with Griffin leading them at 20.6 and Chris Paul adding 18.3. Paul, who is fourth in the NBA with 8.3 assists per game, leads the assists-to-turnoverr ratio at 4.dddddddddddd.76.Despite all of it, Rivers expressed disappointment Tuesday that both the Clippers losses have come at home and that his team was sloppy at times.We made mistakes, he said. All of them are fixable mistakes.The Kings keep hoping they have time to fix a rough roller coaster of an early season. Sacramento (4-8) has dropped three straight contests, including two in a row at their new home. The skid started when they let a 19-point lead get away against the Lakers at home on Nov. 10. They slumbered out of the game in their next two, the latest a 110-105 loss on Wednesday to San Antonio in which they fell behind 16-6 early in the first quarter.Weve got to get off to better starts, Joerger said of a team that also fell behind 25-13 in an overtime loss at Portland on Nov. 11. I thought that was just horrendous.The Kings seemed disinterested early against San Antonio, allowing 16 points in the paint and turning over the ball four times in the opening 12 minutes.The starters have to do a better job, Kings center DeMarcus Cousins said. We set the tone.Cousins is averaging 26.6 points per contest and Rudy Gay 21.3 for the Kings, but Sacramento has struggled to find a consistent third scorer. Theyve also struggled to defend the 3-pointer, allowing opponents to shoot 35 percent. The Clippers knock down 37 percent from distance, the third-best mark in the NBA, and Reddick is 10th among individuals with a 47 percent success rate. ' ' '
