DETROIT — The Broncos hoped to prove themselves road warriors in the Motor City.Instead, road kill.Sean Payton’s team, playing its third straight December game away from home, ran out of gas in the first half Saturday night and watched the Lions roll on by, clear into the postseason.The Broncos have a lot of work to do in order to reach the same destination after a 42-17 loss here.They’re going to have to find offensive consistency, which has disappeared in recent weeks.They’re going to have to find better ways to combat speed, which the Lions flashed in spades.Put simply, they’re going to have to win their final three games from 7-7.That’s not impossible by any stretch of the imagination, considering they will come against teams with losing records, back-up quarterbacks and little to play for.But the margin for error is now reduced to zero.“We’ve got three more games to go and if we win those three I think we’ll be in pretty good position,” right tackl...

They were losing, and they had lost fiery forward and defensive force Draymond Green to an indefinite suspension.They needed this, big time — and Curry showed up, big time.He scored 12 straight fourth-quarter points on the way to 37, Klay Thompson added 24 points with back-to-back timely 3-pointers in the closing minutes, and Golden State snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Brooklyn Nets 124-120 on Saturday night.“Steph was sublime down the stretch. That was unreal,” coach Steve Kerr said. “We’ve seen him do this over and over again but it never ceases to amaze me what that guy is capable.”Thompson is determined to do more to take the scoring load off Curr...
