BARCELONA, Spain -- Diego Costa scored his Spanish league-leading 18th and 19th goals to help Atletico Madrid come back to beat a feisty Levante 3-2 on Saturday and provisionally move to the top of the table. Darius Kasparaitis Jersey . Atletico leads Barcelona by three points before its game at Getafe on Sunday, when the defending champion will be without the injured Lionel Messi, Xavi Herandez, Victor Valdes and suspended striker Neymar. Diego Costa moved two goals ahead of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo in their scoring duel. The Brazilian-born striker whom Spain plans on taking to the World Cup has scored in all 11 of Atleticos wins at Vicente Calderon Stadium this season. Levante stunned the hosts by scoring less than a minute into the match when Andreas Ivanschitz finished off a team buildup. Atletico goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was called into action to repel David Barrals hard strike in the 10th, after which he railed at his defence. His teammates promptly responded by pushing Levante into its area, and the equalizer came on the half-hour when defender Diego Godin rose up to powerfully head Juanfran Torres short cross past goalie Keylor Navas. Diego Costa put his team ahead two minutes after the break by fending off his marker to volley in a lobbed free kick from Gabi Fernandez. Levante wasnt done and Pedro Rios made it 2-2 in the 56th with a solo effort to win the ball, sprint forward and score from distance. Diego Costa, however, restored Atleticos advantage for good in the 77th by stepping up to convert a penalty after Juanfran Torres was fouled by Ruben Garcia on the edge of the box. "It was tough. Levante is the best team that has come through the Calderon this season," Juanfran said. Levante finished with 10 men after Juanfran Garcia was shown a red card in the 90th after colliding with Filipe Luis while awaiting a corner kick. Also, 10-man Sevilla won 2-1 at Villarreal as it rebounded from its humbling exit from the Copa del Rey with a fourth win in five rounds, while Almeria won 1-0 to keep Real Betis bottom of the table and winless in 10 league matches. Sevilla was shocked by third-division side Racing Santander in the Copa on Wednesday, but Ivan Rakitic returned to the squad to help deal Villarreal just its second loss at El Madrigal Stadium this season. Rakitic found defender Juan "Cala" Torres with a long pass to head Sevilla in front in the 24th. Striker Carlos Bacca was denied by the woodwork before he scored his eighth league goal from a pass by Rakitic in the 71st. Villarreals Jeremy Perbet converted a penalty in the 89th after Cala received a red card for fouling Jaume Costa in front of the net. Villarrreal coach Marcelino Garcia was ejected from the dugouts one minute from halftime for repeatedly complaining to the referee. He watched the rest of the match from a private box in the stadiums upper level. "This victory is important beyond our elimination from the Copa, but it is still just another step forward," Sevilla coach Unai Emery said. "Its true we had a painful start to the season. The team is settling down and this win will boost our confidence." Almeria midfielder Ramon Azeez netted what proved to be the winner four minutes in when his long strike took a deflection off Betis defender Paulao to fool goalkeeper Guillermo Sara. Almeria goalie Esteban Suarez did the rest, making several saves to further infuriate Betis disgruntled fans. Betis has shown no improvement under new coach Juan Carlos Garrido. It has lost both league matches and struggled to get by minnow Lleida Esportiu in the Copa since Garrido replaced the fired Pepe Mel. Later, Real Sociedad took its winning streak into Granada.

Durant led the way with 32 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists for a near triple-double. Russell Westbrook did enough for his fourth postseason triple- double thanks to 31 points, 10 boards and 10 helpers. "We set the bar high for ourselves," Durant said.

Sefolosha scored 12 of his 14 points in a momentum-building third quarter. The defensive specialist, who scored just 17 points in the first round against Memphis and didnt play a minute in Games 6 and 7, scored on back-to-back possessions to cap a 10-2 run in the third that stretched Oklahoma Citys lead to 78-66 midway through the period.

Ibaka netted 14 with seven rebounds and Perkins pulled down nine boards for aa frontcourt that helped Oklahoma City to a 52-36 edge on the glass. Custom Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys. But now the series shifts to Staples Center. OKC split two meetings in LA this season with the Clippers and is 3-1 in its last four as the visitor in this matchup. "We have to do the same thing in Los Angeles," OKC coach Scott Brooks said on Thursday. "We know how theyre feeling. After you lose, you want to come back and redeem (yourself) and play much better. We have to come out with the same mindset, same approach and same determination that we had last game." Chris Paul finished with 17 points and 11 assists to lead the Clippers but was far from the otherworldly force he was in the opener. J.J. Redick scored a team-high 18 points but had just two after halftime, and Blake Griffin, who finished third in the MVP voting, shot just 5-of-13 from the field for 15 points. The Clippers only made a third of their 3-point attempts (9-of-27) after connecting on 15-of-29 from long range in their homecourt-stealing Game 1 victory. "They were the more physical team," Clippers head coach Doc Rivers said. "I dont think we were very tough mentally tonight." Perhaps the Clippers can gain some momentum themselves from a player winning an award. On Thursday, Jamal Crawford was named the Sixth Man of the Year for the second time in his career. "Theres so many people that helped out with this," said Crawford. "My teammates, my coaching staff, I hope we can all share it." Game 4 will be Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles. ' ' '
