ATLANTA -- Taylor Gabriel took two short passes for touchdowns and the Atlanta Falcons returned from a bye week to add to Arizonas misery, blowing out the Cardinals 38-19 on Sunday.Gabriel, who was cut by the winless Cleveland Browns before the season, scored on plays of 35 and 25 yards that showed off his speed.His second score finished the Cardinals, who began the season touted as a Super Bowl contender but have been one of the NFLs most disappointing teams.The Falcons (7-4) began the day leading the NFC South and moved a step closer to their first playoff berth since 2012.The Cardinals (4-6-1) have lost two straight and three of their past four, putting them in danger of missing the postseason a season after reaching the NFC championship game.Coach Bruce Arians was on the sideline after falling ill and being briefly hospitalized early in the week, but it did little to inspire his team.Arizona got off to a strong start, burning the Falcons for eight plays of at least 13 yards on their first two possessions. Jermaine Gresham capped the first drive with a 1-yard touchdown catch, but a botched shotgun snap forced the Cardinals to settle for a field goal and a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter.The Falcons surged ahead late in the first half when Matt Ryan tossed a screen pass to Gabriel, who picked up a couple of key blocks and outran everyone else to the end zone for his first score.Arizona cut it to 17-13 when Chris Catanzaro hit a 54-yard field goal on the final play of the half, the Cardinals taking advantage of an interception off a bobbled pass by Atlanta star Julio Jones.Tevin Colemans 2-yard touchdown run capped a 13-play, 77-yard drive that extended Atlantas lead to 24-13 late in the third quarter. Then it was Gabriel with the clinching score. He took a quick pass in the flat, sped down the left sideline and reached the pylon with a soaring dive.Gabriels two touchdowns doubled his scoring output for the season. He finished with four catches for 75 yards, coming up big for the Falcons on a day when Jones was held to four catches for 35 yards matched up mostly against Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson.Peterson was called for a couple of pass interference penalties while defending Jones, both of which contributed to Atlanta scores.KEANUS HITAfter being fined for a vicious hit in Atlantas previous game, rookie safety Keanu Neal could be taking another blow to his wallet.Neal was penalized in the fourth quarter for unnecessary roughness against Cardinals star receiver Larry Fitzgerald.It looked as though both players lowered their helmets before making contact, but it was Neal picking up the flag.Neal was fined $24,309 for his helmet-to-helmet blow on Philadelphia receiver Jordan Matthews. Neal wasnt penalized for that play, and insisted afterward that hes not a dirty player.UP NEXTCardinals: Return home to face Washington next Sunday.Falcons: Host the Kansas City Chiefs, the only team remaining on Atlantas schedule with a winning record.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Kawhi Leonard ripped the ball away from Ben McLemore and drove the other way for a three-point play. Then the next time down the court, Leonard grabbed it away from McLemore and scored on the other end.Those two plays turned the momentum San Antonios way and sent the Spurs home with a very successful season-opening trip following a 102-94 victory over the Kings on Thursday night that spoiled the regular season opener at Sacramentos new downtown arena.He took two away in a row and said, `Gimme that. He just grabbed it away from whoever it was, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. He just grabbed it and took it twice in a row. I dont see many people doing that.Few people are doing what Leonard is early this season. After scoring a career-high 35 points to go with five steals in a 129-100 season-opening win at Golden State on Tuesday night, Leonard had 30 points and five steals against the Kings.Leonard is the first player to put together back-to-back 30-point, five-steal games since Eddie Jones did it for Miami in December 2002.You see players play at an extremely high level on offense, but this guys does it on both ends, teammate Pau Gasol said. Its hard to say where hes more exceptional. Hes a very special player.Leonard helped dampen the excitement for the first regular season game at the new arena on an emotional night as fans remembered how close the franchise was to moving to Seattle before Vivek Ranadive bought the team in 2013 and reached a deal to build the arena.It didnt end as well despite a strong night from DeMarcus Cousins, who led Sacramento with 37 points and 16 rebounds.As much as this city has fought, the fans were more than deserving of this night, Cousins said. I wished we could have sealed the deal with a win.The Kings built a nine-point lead midway through the third period before Leonard and tthe Spurs put it away.dddddddddddd San Antonio went on a 16-2 run and held Sacramento without a basket for the final 7:20 of the period to take a 76-71 lead into the fourth.The Kings missed nine straight shots and Leonard then had the steals from McLemore.I just tried to do something for us, lighting up our defense a little bit, Leonard said.The Spurs built the lead to 10 points early in the fourth quarter before Cousins and Arron Afflalo made two baskets each in a 12-2 run that tied the game.But San Antonio pulled away late for the win.TIP-INSSpurs: The last San Antonio player with at least 30 points and five steals in consecutive games was Alvin Robertson in 1986. ... LaMarcus Aldridge scored 16 for San Antonio and reserves David Lee and Dewayne Dedmon added 12 apiece.Kings: Rudy Gay had 17 points but shot just 3 for 10. ... Sacramento shot 40 percent for the game. ... The Kings have lost seven straight to the Spurs.OPENING NIGHTThere were many luminaries on hand for the arena opening. Former Kings great Chris Webber sat next to Ranadive at courtside, Commissioner Adam Silver and his predecessor were in attendance, as well as several politicians integral in getting the arena built, most notably Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson.I think its a borderline miracle from where we were in 2013 to be here in 2016, a year earlier than they originally pledged to have an arena done, Silver said. To be done, to be here on opening night with the building completely finished with strong local ownership, its everything a league could hope for.UP NEXTSpurs: Play New Orleans in their home opener on Saturday.Kings: Host Minnesota on Saturday in a matchup of two of the leagues top big men in Cousins and Karl-Anthony Towns.
