MIAMI -- Kawhi Leonard was getting a cut under his right eye fussed with, and out of his left one he could see the Miami Heat take their first lead since the opening minutes.He wasnt worried.When Leonard returned, order was restored for San Antonio. Bandaged up but otherwise unbothered, Leonard scored 14 of his 27 points in the final 6:04 -- including the last 12 for the Spurs, who beat Miami 106-99 on Sunday night to remain unbeaten at 4-0.It wasnt anything with my eye or retina or anything, said Leonard, who didnt need stitches. Just under my eye, I got a little cut.Pau Gasol had 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who wasted a 16-point first-half lead and trailed by one when Leonard returned with 6:48 remaining after the Spurs needed only a couple minutes to patch him up. Patty Mills added 18 for San Antonio, who won at Miami for the fifth consecutive time.I thought we hung in there tough on the road, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. That was the best part of the game. We didnt give in.Hassan Whiteside made his final seven shots and tied a career high with 27 points for Miami, also grabbing 15 rebounds. Goran Dragic scored 25 points and Justise Winslow added 18 for the Heat. Miami took the lead on a layup by Dragic right before Leonard returned, yet only held that lead for 18 seconds.Leonard found Mills for a 3-pointer on his first possession back, then drove down a wide-open lane for a dunk on the next San Antonio trip. The Spurs didnt trail again.They made some tough shots, Dragic said. But I feel like we defended well.When the Spurs last visited on Feb. 9, both teams used 11 players. Of those 22, only seven played Sunday -- four for the Spurs, three for the Heat.That game was the last Chris Bosh played for Miami. He was diagnosed with a blood clot in Toronto two nights later, pulled out of All-Star weekend and hasnt been cleared to play since.So the Heat remain in transition. But even with changes themselves, the Spurs remain the Spurs.You absolutely respect and enjoy how San Antonio just finds a way to stay ahead of the curve, continue to reinvent and be incredibly efficient, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.TIP-INSSpurs: Leonard made his first five free throws, then missed to end a season-opening streak of 33 makes. ... LaMarcus Aldridge (rest) got the night off. ... Danny Green (left quad strain) was on the trip, though isnt expected to play for a couple more weeks.Heat: Whiteside wore a sleeve to protect his stitched-up left elbow, cut in Fridays loss to Charlotte. ... Winslow missed his first five shots, airballing the last. He made his next seven. ... Spoelstra said Josh Richardson (knee) is doing more rehab, but hasnt fully practiced yet.SHORT NIGHT, LONG WEEKThe Spurs played at home Saturday night, then landed in Miami at 2:30 a.m. -- and faced the Heat at 6 p.m.Good news for the Spurs: This trip is one of only two instances this season when theyll deal with such a long flight on a back-to-back.Bad news for the Spurs: The other is later this week.

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia -- Top of La Liga and now with three wins from three in the Champions League, Atletico Madrids season so far is going to plan after beating FC Rostov 1-0 on Wednesday.Yannick Ferreira Carrasco fired in the winner on a cold night in Russia on Wednesday, and at the halfway point in Group D Atletico is all but assured of qualifying for the knockout stages with an eight-point lead over third place.Carrasco now boasts five goals from his last four games for Atletico after having failed to score in his first seven outings of the season. Against Rostov, the Belgium winger was all action from the start, forcing a save from Rostov goalkeeper Soslan Dzhanaev early on and twice helping to set up good chances that were missed by Angel Correa.Against a tenacious Rostov teaam which had not lost at home for 26 games, the breakthrough came in the 62nd minute when Carrasco met Juanfrans cross with a fierce shot on the bounce after Fernando Torres had failed to convert from close range.ddddddddddddAtleticos star attacking midfielder Antoine Griezmann started the game slowly but played an increasingly valuable role in the second half and could have scored Atleticos second in the 83rd, but Dzhanaev made the save.Defensively minded Rostov has one point from three games in its Champions League debut campaign and rarely threatened to score against Atletico, barring a couple of late efforts easily dealt with by goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
