the l.a. galaxy advance 3-2 on the aggregate scoring system. that's about the worst way ever to decide a playoff series. it is over. the warriors admit they lacked energy and intensity in a loss to sacramento. they came out with purpose and curry was on fire tonight against cleavland. world series hero and sandoval at courtside. neighbors with curry i hear. he didn't score, but he had five assists. irving, remember the number one pick in the draft was wheeling and dealing. he had 28. curry answering. he had 15 in the first quarter and finished with 21. thompson early foul trouble. a nice dish to leigh. i think this is a shot. he turned it into a pass. second quarter and jefferson and barnes throwing down. warriors by eight at the half. late third quarter and irving

loses the handle. warriors were up by 11. david leigh playing despite the flu. he had 22. the warriors win it 106-96. 10 games into the season and stanford is making a quarterback change. kevin hogan will be at the helm when they face oregon state on saturday. it is easy to see why when you watch this kid play. the freshman from washington, d.c. is mobile and he has brought a new dimension in their game against colorado. it was a blow yacht. blowout. you can see the mobility replaced nunez here. david shaw says the energy and the big play potential really forced him to make a change. >> it really wasn't that difficult. we needed more efficiency on the offensive side. we need -- needed the athletic plays. it was huge. >> how about some pack 12
