CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The San Antonio Spurs are suddenly looking like road warriors.After losing just one game at home last season, the Spurs have started this season 8-0 on the road after a 119-114 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.Kawhi Leonard scored 30 points, LaMarcus Aldridge added 23 points and seven rebounds, and Danny Green had 16 points as the Spurs won their seventh straight game overall.Hornets coach Steve Clifford has a pretty good idea why the Spurs have been so tough to beat on the road.They have a guy who is an MVP candidate (in Leonard), Pau Gasol and Tony Parker who are probably Hall-of-Famers, Aldridge, who is a perennial All-Star and Danny Green who has been a starter on two championship teams. Plus they have a guy who is maybe the best coach of our time -- except for all that theyre just OK, Clifford said.In other words, as Clifford added, the Spurs have a pretty good recipe for success.San Antonios win didnt come without a fight, though.The teams entered the fourth quarter tied at 84 in a tightly contested game that included 28 lead changes in the first three quarters.Aldridge gave the Spurs the lead for good with 2:53 left on a pair of free throws. Green knocked down two crucial 3-point shots in the closing minutes and Parker made four free throws in the final 10.2 seconds to seal the win.Its a weird year, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. Weve lost three in a row at home and last year we lost one the whole year. Now were undefeated on the road, so dont ask me. Thats why they call it a game because you never know whats going to happen.Added Green: The losing (at home) has helped us on the road. For some odd reason, I think we just have more focus on the road. Were coming together as a group and trusting each other.TIP-INSSpurs: Aldridge has scored in double digits in all 15 games this season. ... Leonard came into the game with the top spot in NBA history for best winning percentage in his first 300 starts (235-65).Hornets: Jeremy Lamb was active after missing the last 10 games with a hamstring injury. He played only six minutes. ... Cody Zeller missed his third straight game with a shoulder injury, but coach Steve Clifford said there is a chance he could return to action this week.WALKER JUST `NOT EVEN FAIRKemba Walker led the Hornets with 26 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Frank Kaminsky had 13 points and eight rebounds off the bench.Kembas really fast. Its not even fair, Popovich said.FOUL SHOOTINGIt may not garner much attention, but the Spurs are winning games with their foul shooting. They came into the league first in the NBA in free throw shooting percentage and made 18 of 20 against the Hornets, including the four clutch shots by Parker in the closing seconds to put the game away.JORDAN HONOREDHornets owner Michael Jordan tipped his cap to the crowd after the scoreboard showed a highlight of the former NBA star receiving the Presidential Medal of Honor from Barack Obama on Tuesday in Washington.GOOD INTENSITYDespite his teams third straight loss, Clifford was happy with his teams overall intensity.I just felt like were back to playing with a normal intensity level that youre going to have to play at to play well, Clifford said. That cant be something that comes and goes so much. I feel like until these last two games we have been playing with good energy, good focus.UP NEXTSpurs: San Antonio returns to action Friday night when they travel to face the Boston Celtics.Hornets: Charlotte will head to Madison Square Garden for a Friday night game against the New York Knicks.

ATLANTA -- Matt Kemp says his trade to the Atlanta Braves gives him a fresh start with the team he cheered for as a child.In a letter on The Players Tribune website , Kemp wrote that he was a huge Atlanta Braves fan while growing up in Oklahoma because he followed the team on TV.Our little old TV picked up TBS, which meant I got to watch my Braves, so I was happy, Kemp wrote in the letter entitled Hello Atlanta.That was my team! I used to rush home from school to finish my homework so I could turn on the TV and watch Chipper Jones, Ron Gant, David Justice, Fred McGriff, Greg Maddux and Jon Smoltz play their hearts out for the Braves.As a young boy, I dreamed of one day suiting up and playing in front of the home crowd in Atlanta. Now, all these years later, Im going to be able to live out that dream.Kemp included a family photo of himself as a boy wearing a new Braves jacket while standing in front of a Christmas tree.The Braves acquired Kemp, a two-time All-Star outfielder, and $10.5 million from San Diego for troubled outfielder Hector Olivera on Saturday night.Kemp wrote that after reflecting on his career with the Dodgers and Padres, I would be lying if I didnt admit that I had begun to lose some of my love for the game.In so many ways, I got sidetracked froom what I loved most about playing the game of baseball -- having fun, he wrote.dddddddddddd I let a big contract, the Hollywood lifestyle, injuries and bad relationships tarnish the reputation I had worked so hard to establish. Sadly, I gained a reputation for being selfish, lazy and a bad teammate.

And I promise you, Atlanta: Those days are gone.Kemp is expected to make his Braves debut in Tuesday nights home game against Pittsburgh. The Braves were off on Monday.He promised Braves fans he will be the Matt Kemp of old -- the kid who was the first at the park and the last to leave, the kid who would take cuts in the cage till has hands bled, the kid who would literally run through a wall for his teammates, the kid who was playing to win . not for a contract -- thats the kid whos on his way to Atlanta.Added Kemp: And the Braves of old will soon be the Braves of now. This is going to be so much fun, Atlanta.The Braves (37-68) have the majors worst record.
