CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Don Lutzs mother didnt like the sound of his voice when he called her at home in Germany an hour before he started in left field for the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. "Ive been sick, and she said, Whats wrong with your voice?" Lutz said. "She said, Take your vitamins." Lutz wasted no time proving to his mom, Marlen, that he was healthy. The rookie, who was born in the United States and grew up in Germany, hit his first career home run, a three-run drive off the right-field foul pole in the second inning that led Cincinnati over the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 for a three-game sweep. Lutz, who made his big league debut on April 29, homered off Wily Peralta (3-3). Pinch-hitter Xavier Paul homered in the seventh, sending Milwaukee to its fourth straight loss and ninth in 10 games. Bronson Arroyo (3-4) ended a four-start winless streak, allowing five hits in 6 2-3 scoreless innings with one walk and five strikeouts. He had been 0-3 since beating Philadelphia on April 15, and he snapped out of the slump despite not feeling well, manager Dusty Baker said. "Im not sure what he had," Baker said. "Sometimes, you just dont feel right. Its not something you can name. We knew about the seventh that he was about out of gas." Arroyo rarely feels well in day games, he said. "I didnt have a whole lot of stuff," he said. "I was grinding from the first inning on. I knew I was getting away with pitches that I normally wouldnt. Luckily, they were beating them into the ground." Sam LeCure struck out Jeff Bianchi looking to end the seventh, Jonathan Broxton allowed an unearned run in the eighth and Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth. Peralta (3-3) gave up four runs -- three earned -- on five hits and two walks in six innings. Baker got his 1,603rd win as a manager, moving past Hall of Famer Fred Clarke into sole possession of 17th place on baseballs career list, 16 behind Ralph Houk. Baker, in his 20th season as a manager, is 1,603-1,448 (.525). The Brewers have lost 10 of 12 against Cincinnati. The Reds have won the last four series against Milwaukee in Cincinnati and five of the last six overall. Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce opened the second inning with singles and, one out later, Lutz lined a 1-0 pitch off the foul pole. He is 6 for 13 during a six-game hitting streak. "It was awesome," Lutz said. "My mom and grandma were watching (on television). Im sure they were pretty excited." He hadnt promised to hit a home run during his pregame Mothers Day phone call. "I didnt want to get ahead of myself," Lutz said. Peralta had no problem with the pitch. "I made a great pitch," he said. "Theres nothing I could do. If I had to put it right there again, I would. I dont think hed hit it." Cincinnati scored an unearned run in the third. After a throwing error by Peralta on a comebacker, Bruce hit a potential inning-ending, double-play grounder, but shortstop Jean Seguras relay sailed over first baseman Yuniesky Betancourt for another error. The Brewers have been their own worst enemies, according to manager Ron Roenicke. "We havent played well," he said. "We cant do the little things against good teams." Paul led off the seventh with his second homer of the season, a 404-foot drive into the right-field seats on an 0-2 pitch from Mike Fiers, recalled from the minors Saturday and making his first big league appearance since April 16. Paul has four career pinch-hit homers, including two this season. Alex Gonzalez scored on Ryan Hanigans passed ball in the eighth. NOTES: Reds RHP Johnny Cueto is scheduled to make his second injury rehabilitation start Tuesday for Class-A Dayton. Cueto has been on the DL since April 15 with a strained muscle in his upper right arm.

NEWTON, Mass. -- The NCAA is honoring the former Boston College baseball captain who inspired people around the world to dump buckets of ice water over their heads to raise millions of dollars for Lou Gehrigs disease research.Pete Frates was 27 years old in 2012 when he was diagnosed with the disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.The NCAA said Thursday that Frates will receive its 2017 Inspiration Award in January.Frates is from Beverly, Massachusetts. Since his diagnosis he has dedicated himself to finding a cure for the neurodegenerative disease, which weakens muscles and impairs physical functioning.The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge raised more than $220 million in 2014. It took off as people posted videos of themselves doused with cold water and challenged their friends. Wholesale Colombia National Mens Jerseys . After a lengthy wait, persistent rain finally forced the postponement of the Nationals game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p. Jose Izquierdo Colombia Jersey . -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No. http://www.wholesalecolombiajerseys.com/camilo-vargas-colombia-jersey/ .

The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. Wilmar Barrios Colombia Jersey . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Dusty Hannahs hasnt experienced all that many shooting slumps in his life, but the Arkansas guard might just have found the answer to his early season shooting struggles by not starting.For a second straight game, the Razorbacks sharp-shooter came off the bench on Tuesday night -- scoring 17 points in 17 minutes as Arkansas (7-1) rallied from a halftime deficit for an 84-72 win over Houston.Hannahs was 6 of 11 from the field and has now hit 5 of 10 3-pointers in his last two games, coming after he was held without a 3-pointer in the two games before that. After leading Arkansas in scoring last season, the senior is now embracing whatever role Razorbacks coach Mike Anderson gives him.I just tried to stop thinking about (missing shots), even though it was impossible to stop thinking about it because I was just watching so many misses happen, Hannahs said. ... I was relaxed the last game and relaxed this game, and I think its smooth sailing from here on, hopefully.Hannahs had plenty of help as Arkansas won its fourth straight game, with first-year junior Daryl Macon adding 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Moses Kingsley added 14 points and eight rebounds, while Dustin Thomas finished with 11 points as the Razorbacks shot 59.3 percent (16 of 27) in the second half after trailing 35-34 at halftime.But it was Hannahs who provided the biggest spark, particularly in the first half when he scored 10 points in nine minutes.Look how efficient he is, Anderson said. ... I think the key is getting playing time. Like I said, hes still a starter in my mind.Rob Gray scored 22 points to lead the Cougars (6-2), whose two losses this season have both come on the road against Southeastern Conference opponents. Damyean Dotson had 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Galen Robinson had 14 points and Wes Vanbeck scored 10.Arkansas entered having won seven of its last eight games against its former Southwest Conference rival Cougars, who were making their first visit to Fayetteville since 1991.The two teeams also came in averaging more than 84 points per game, though Houston struggled early while falling behind by as many as 14 points in the first half.dddddddddddd The Cougars rallied, however, to take a 35-34 halftime lead -- with 32 of those points coming from the backcourt quartet of Dotson, Robinson, Gray and Vanbeck.The four finished with a combined 61 points, but it wasnt enough to overcome Arkansas hot second-half shooting.We still had a lead in the second half, Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. ... This is a game we could have won, but youve got to play a little bit better defense and get a little more production out of our bigs in a game like this.BIG PICTUREHouston: The Cougars had the guards to run with the Razorbacks, but they had no answers off their bench -- which was outscored 34-14. Houston entered averaging 85.1 points, but it shot only 40 percent (14 of 35) in the second half.Arkansas: The Razorbacks failed in their first true test of the season, falling 87-71 at Minnesota on Nov. 22. On Tuesday, they played like the team coach Mike Anderson had in mind when he signed guards Macon and Jaylen Barford from junior college -- with an eye on immediately turning around following a 16-16 season. While Barford struggled with only two points, Macon was in control throughout, a positive sign for a team intent on returning to the NCAA Tournament after missing it last season.MISSING DAVISDevin Davis, averaging 12.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, played only three minutes for Houston and was scoreless after cutting two fingers on his right hand early in the game. The 6-foot-7 junior needed six stitches to stop the bleeding, and Sampson was forced to play a smaller lineup without him.UP NEXTHouston begins a four-game stretch at home by hosting Rhode Island on Saturday.The Razorbacks wrap up five straight games at home when they host North Florida on Saturday.

BALTIMORE -- Adam Jones and the Baltimore Orioles found yet another way to win, this time in extra innings on a grounder to the pitcher.Jones scored the decisive run in the 10th inning on a low throw to the plate by right-hander Jordan Lyles, and the Orioles beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 on Monday night for their fifth straight victory.On Sunday, Baltimore defeated Cleveland in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out homer after the Indians allowed a runner to reach on a strikeout.For an encore, the Orioles again capitalized on a miscue by the opposition.Jones reached on a one-out single off the third-base bag and took third on a single by Jonathan Schoop. Manny Machado followed with a comebacker to Lyles, who fumbled the ball before throwing home. Catcher Nick Hundley caught the ball near the ground and lost the handle while attempting to tag the sliding Jones.It doesnt matter how you score, Jones said. As long as you win the game, thats all that matters.Lyles (2-3) was charged with an error.I made a good pitch to Machado to get a ground ball, Lyles said. I caught it and looked what to do next and it fell out of my glove. It was just a dumb play. ... Thats a tough way to lose a game.Getting two RBI from Jones, the Orioles climbed a season-high 18 games over .500 (58-40) and improved to a major league best 37-14 at home.Its good to get a win any way you get it this time of year, manager Buck Showalter said.Chaz Roe (1-0) worked the 10th for the victory.Nolan Arenado homered for the Rockies, whose four-game winning streak ended.Colorado outfielder David Dahl went 1 for 4 with two strikeouts in his major league debut. Picked 10th overall in the 2012 draft, the 22-year-old was summoned from Triple-A Albuquerque early Monday and traveled across the country from California to Camden Yards.I was very anxious, very excited and it was a great atmosphere, Dahl said.His first hit in the big leagues was a single up the middle in the seventh inning. He advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Mark Reynolds to give the Rockies a 2-1 lead.One of the most surprising aspects of the game occurred in the field, where Arenado made two errors at third base. The three-time Gold Glove Award winner botched a grounder in the first inning and threw wildly to first base in the second, a mistake that led to an unearned run.Arenado came into the game with just one error in 96 games this season.Seeking his 100th career victory, Colorado lefty Jorge De La Rosa got locked in a duel with Yovani Gallardo and failed to get a decision. Coming off a miserable outing in which he gave up a career-high nine runs to Tampa Bay, De La Rosa allowed two runs, one earned, and four hits in 6 1/3 innings.He entered the seventh with a 2-1 lead but was lifted after hitting a batter and giving up a double. Jones greeted Adam Ottavino with a run-scoring groundout.Gallardo gave up two runs and five hits in 6 2/3 innings.After Jones singled in a second-inning run, Arenado led off the fourth by sending a 1-0 pitch into the left-field seats. It was his 26th homer of the season and second in two games.MOVING ON UPJones lifted his RBI total with Baltimore to 702, passing Rafael Palmeiro to move into sole possession of seventh place on the teams career list. Brady Anderson is sixth with 744.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: Matt Wieters returned to action after missing six straight games with a foot injury. ... OF Hyun Soo Kim (hamstring) homered in a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie and could be activated as soon as Tuesday.UP NEXTRockies: Chad Bettis (8-6, 5.31 ERA) makes his 21st start of the season Tuesday night in the second game of the series. The Rockies are 7-1 in his last eight starts.Orioles: RHP Chris Tillman (14-2, 3.18) seeks his major league-leading 15th victory. Hes allowed one run over seven innings in each of his last four starts. Hydro Flask 18 Oz Sale .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- There was a calm, relaxed atmosphere at the final practice for the U.S. womens basketball team.Maybe its because injured guard Sue Bird was able to participate. Or maybe because many of the players have been in this position before -- a win away from another Olympic title.I understand its a gold medal game, weve approached it like any other game, said Bird, who has helped the U.S. win the last three golds at the Olympics. At the start of this entire month, every single practice and game we approached it like it was a gold medal game. Todays no different.The Americans will play Spain on Saturday in search of a sixth consecutive gold. Spain has already guaranteed itself of a first-ever Olympic medal in womens basketball.It looks like the U.S. will have Bird back for the title tilt. She missed the semifinal win over France as she was recovering from a sprained right knee capsule. She said she felt much better Friday and it showed. After taking part in practice, Bird went through a hard workout when it was finished to test the right knee.She stopped short of saying she definitely would play Saturday.I cant give you an answer for tomorrow, Bird said smiling. I can be happy with the way things have been going. Long term is great, short term is getting better.Bird said the pain is down to about a one or two out of 10. But she isnt going to push it if she doesnt feel comfortable and has the utmost confidence in her teammates if she cant play.Im not going to be dumb about it. Our team isnt built around one person, its built around 12, she said. As they showed yesterday it doesnt matter whos out there we have a really good team. Im not going to do anything stupid.Coach Geno Auriemma, who has worked with Bird for four years at UConn and now eight with USA Basketball, said the decision iss up to Bird whether she plays.dddddddddddd.Shell wake up tomorrow morning and tell us how she feels and well go with that, he said. Whatever Sue says, just having her on the floor, regardless the amount of time we can call on her, believe me the comfort level with our team and coaches went up 100 percent.The U.S. dominated Spain in the preliminary round, beating the Spaniards by 40 points. The Americans also beat Spain in the 2014 world championship title game. Still, the U.S. isnt taking anything for granted.They are really, really good, Diana Taurasi said. Its going to be a hard fought battle and they have been playing really well since we beat them.The test for Spain will be to do what no team has been able to do in Rio: put together a full game against the U.S.France trailed by four at the half on Thursday and still lost by 19. This version of the U.S. womens Olympic team has been simply incredible. Theyve kept the streak started by the 1996 team going and now the Americans have won 48 consecutive contests. Theyve won the seven games in the Olympics by an average of nearly 40 points and are putting up 102.3 points a contest -- just a hair behind the record set by the `96 squad.Saturdays contest will be the last Olympic game for Tamika Catchings, who is retiring at the end of the WNBA season next month. Bird and Diana Taurasi have also hinted this will probably be their Olympic finale as well.Thats the elephant in the room that no one is talking about, Taurasi said.

Veteran North Melbourne forward Drew Petrie continues to enjoy the strong backing of coach Brad Scott despite his run of indifferent form.By his own admission, the 33-year-olds return of 19 goals from 15 games this season has been below expectations.But Scott left little doubt where he stands on Petries place in the AFL side when asked if he had considered dropping him.Not for one second, Scott replied.But (our forward) unit hasnt been working to the level that we would expect (of late) ... Drews only a part of that. Hes a significant part but hes only a part nonetheless.So were looking at all of our forward line players to improve and to work a bit better together but the baseline of Drews game is the way he defends and that is just incredibly underrated outside our football club. But its incredibly highly rated inside it.Any external comments about Drew are irrelevant to us.North have been in free fall recently, losing five of six games to go from top of the ladder after 12 rounds to eighth heading into round 17.The Roos face an improving Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, with the Power their nearest challenger three games behind in ninth.Key trio Daniel Wells, Jarrad Waite and Nick Dal Santo return from injury and illness in a significant boost to the side.But Scott confirmed emerging forward Mason Wood will miss up to two months of football after undergoing knee surgery.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Royals pitcher Chris Young had surgery to his abdominal area, pelvis and groin on Tuesday and the veteran right-hander is expected to be ready for spring training in February.The bilateral core and right-sided adductor repair was performed by Dr. Bill Meyers in Philadelphia.The 37-year-old Young was an instrumental part in the Royals World Series championship last season, and was rewarded with a two-year, $10 million contract. But Young went just 3-9 with a 6.19 ERA, quickly lost his job in the rotation and was relegated to mop-up duty out of the bullpen.The former All-Star with San Diego is 79-67 with a 3.87 ERA in his 12-year major league career.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Navy had already blown a 21-point lead, and now the Midshipmen were in desperate need of a late stop to stave off another Connecticut comeback.Aided by a questionable bit of clock management by the Huskies, Navy pulled out a 28-24 victory Saturday.Will Worth scored two touchdowns in his debut as Navys starting quarterback, the last on a 1-yard run with 3:08 remaining following a 26-yard punt return to the UConn 17.That made it 28-24, but Connecticut wasnt done.The Huskies moved 79 yards to the Navy 1 and took their final timeout with 17 seconds left, even though the game clock had stopped on an out-of-bounds play.Ron Johnson was subsequently stuffed on a rush attempt, and time expired before Connecticut could run another play.That goal line stand symbolizes who we are, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. Things looked bleak. I didnt see the play. I was closing my eyes praying and I have no idea what happened. Shows you what kind of coach I am. I just looked up and our guys were cheering.After Johnson was thrust into his own backfield, the Midshipmen had no intention of letting him return to the line of scrimmage.We practice that, linebacker Daniel Gonzales said. You just lay on the guy until the ref pulls you off.Huskies coach Bob Diaco was at a loss to explain what transpired on the Connecticut sideline during the games final seconds. He talked about the uncertainty of where the ball was placed, whether a pass was a better call than a run, and then the timeout call because the play clock was about to expire.We called two plays but they did not let everyone get up off the ground, Diaco said. I am not complaining or making excuses. I take full accountability.The Midshipmen (2-0, 1-0 American Athletic Conference) scored on their first two possessions and went up 21-0 on a 2-yard fumble return by Alohi Gilman in the second quarter.Connecticut (1-1, 0-1) recovered to the take the lead before Worth scored the gamees final touchdown.ddddddddddddorth, a 6-foot-1 senior, started in place of Tago Smith, who tore his right ACL in the season opener against Fordham.In addition to capably directing the triple option, Worth ran for 44 yards, completed his first four passes and finished 6-for-8 for 130 yards.I felt pretty good with everything, Worth said. There were a couple (plays) I definitely would like to have back. For the most part, I felt good to get out there and see it all live.Bryant Shirreffs completed 23 of 26 passes for the Huskies, who were coming off a 24-21 win over Maine and looking to go 2-0 for just the second time since 2008.They are really, really hurt, Diaco said. We had enough errors collectively as a staff and as a team to not win.After Navy jumped to a 21-0 lead, the Huskies battled back. Shirreffs threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Noel Thomas with 1:10 left in the first half, Johnson scored on a 3-yard run and Jamar Summers rambled 86 yards with a fumble by fullback Chris High.Bobby Puyol kicked a 38-yard field goal with 9:08 remaining to give the Huskies their first lead at 24-21.Thomas finished with 11 catches for 116 yards.THE TAKEAWAYUConn: The Huskies showed their mettle in rallying from a 21-0 deficit, which bodes well for a team looking to take the next step after going 6-7 in 2015 following a 2-10 disaster in 2014.Navy: Worth performed capably in his first start, and will likely improve with experience. Showing poise and confidence, Worth blunted the notion that Navys triple option would sputter with a newcomer at the helm.UP NEXTUConn: The Huskies host Virginia next Saturday. The series is tied 1-1, with UConn prevailing 45-10 in 2008 in the last meeting between the teams.Navy: The Midshipmen take to the road for the first time, visiting Tulane on Saturday night before a bye week.

LISBON, Portugal -- Defending champion Real Madrid advanced from the group stage of the Champions League for the 20th straight time after beating 10-man Sporting Lisbon 2-1 on Tuesday.Karim Benzema came off the bench to get the late winner in the 87th minute.A draw would have been enough to get Madrid through to the knockout stages anyway, but victory gave the team a chance to finish first in Group F -- with a home victory over Borussia Dortmund in the final round.It was important that we won here, Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said. We achieved what we came to get. We are going to play a final against Dortmund now.The German side, which routed Legia Warsaw 8-4, has a two-point lead over Madrid.Benzema salvaged Madrids victory with a header after a well-placed cross by Sergio Ramos. That came just seven minutes after Sporting midfielder Adrien Silva equalized by converting a controversial penalty kick. The penalty was awarded after the ball hit Fabio Coentraos arm, which he had just thrust into the air to complain of a hand ball by Sporting.We had our difficult moments in the game but thats normal, Zidane said. But we managed to score a wonderful second through Karim Benzema.Benzema had been doubtful to play during the week because of an injury but his recovery proved crucial. He entered the match in the 67th to replace Francisco Isco Alarcon.Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, returning home to play against the team where he started his career, got an assist in Madrids first goal when he mis-hit a shot inside the area.

PETERSBURG, Fla. With all due respect to Ronald Reagans George Gipp on his deathbed, Denzel Washingtons Herman Boone at Gettysburg or even Robert Loggias halftime talk with the Texas State Armadillos, Hollywoods greatest football speech was Al Pacinos in Any Given Sunday.You find out lifes this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game -- life or football -- the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you dont quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast, and you dont quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. Theyre in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch.On Sunday afternoon, the College Football Playoff selection committee announced the four teams that will compete for the national championship: Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Washington. The season started with the 128 FBS squads, all hoping to make that final four. Those teams played a total of 837 games. Those contests produced more than 640,000 yards of offense. That translates to roughly 360 miles, almost precisely the distance between Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa and Clemsons Death Valley.Yet somehow, the entire season came down to only a handful of key plays, the outcome of each determined by merely a few yards here and, yes, Mr. Pacino, a few inches there. Yet the sum of their tiny parts shaped the most unpredictable season of the still-young playoff era.Week 1: Two inches Thats what LSU running back Leonard Fournette needed to be added to his vertical leap. With two minutes remaining, down 16-14 to Wisconsin, the Tigers offense was finally waking up. Having just crossed midfield, they handed off to the preseason Heisman favorite, who busted off a run deep into Badgers territory, but when he tried to leapfrog a defender, he caught a helmet to his right leg just below the knee. He limped off the field and never returned. It was the first of a series of nagging hurts that would dog Fournette all season. LSU lost, and head coach Les Miles was walking the plank. Meanwhile, Wisconsin had a big cross-conference win that it -- and the entire Big Ten -- could, and would, hang their hats on all season.Week 4: Ten fingers The two hands of Arizona quarterback Brandon Dawkins werent able to cleanly catch a fourth-down red zone shotgun snap against Washington at home in overtime. His bobble was just enough to cause a twinge of panic. That milliseconds difference in timing was just enough for the would-be tying TD pass play to break down into an overthrown dying quail pass that sailed over the head of the receiver. Washington survived 35-28 to keep its playoff hopes alive.Week 5: 1? yards In perhaps the best game of the season, Louisvilles Lamar Jackson took Clemsons best shots and repeatedly returned serve. If he does win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday, this will be the game many point to ... but the Cardinals lost. With 13 seconds remaining in a six-point game, Jackson threw a strike to James Quick. It was fourth-and-12 at the Clemson 14-yard line. Quick, confused as to where the first-down marker was, stepped out of bounds at the 3. It was less than 2 yards too short. Clemsons playoff season continued, while Louisvilles season took its first step toward eventually becoming derailed.Week 7: 1 foot plus 5 feet, both to the right Back to Death Valley, South Carolina: As the game clock zeroed out to end regulation, a would-be game-winning 33-yard field goal attempt by NC State kicker Kyle Bambard squirted just wide of the right upright. The Tigers won in OT 24-17. Meanwhile, at damp Camp Randall Stadium, also in OT, Ohio States J.T. Barrett tossed a back-shoulder fade to Noah Brown, a ball that found its way past the outstretched fingers of two Wisconsin defenders and floated into the back-right corner to Brown. The Buckeyes won 30-23.Week 8: Ten fingers, two inches, OK ... pretty much all of the above Second-ranked Ohio States magic ran ouut at Penn State.dddddddddddd The Nittany Lions trailed 21-17 when a drive-stopping interception slipped through their fingers with 4:39 remaining. It turned out to be an accidental blessing. The resulting field goal attempt was blocked and returned for a touchdown. Penn State won 24-21. It was the first blemish on OSUs record but also the first spark of the question, Can the Big Ten get more than one school into the playoff?Week 11: 1 yard On fourth-and-1 at the Pittsburgh 35, Clemson ran a sweep with tailback Wayne Gallman. He was grabbed around the ankles by nose tackle Jeremiah Taleni and was dropped 1 yard short of the first down. Pitt took over on downs with 52 seconds remaining and drove 34 yards on six plays to kick the winning field goal as time expired.Week 12: Two steps After a touchdown pulled them to within 17-16 with 4:41 remaining, Michigan State Spartans head coach Mark Dantonio elected to go for two points in a bid to upset Ohio State, which had crawled back up to second in the rankings. Tyler OConnor saw an open receiver at the goal line, but Jamal Lyles moved one step to his right as two defenders took opposite steps toward the inbounds pass and shared an interception. The game essentially ended there, as did Michigan States chances to brighten an otherwise disappointing season.Week 13: The Game, The Spot, The Inch Hey, its Ohio State again! In the second overtime period, on fourth-and-1, head coach Urban Meyer looked over his teams shaky day on special teams and elected not to attempt a game-tying field goal. Instead, Barrett ran a keeper that carried him to the edge of the white yard line he needed to reach. Did he make it? Did he not? The officials -- with help from the replay booth -- said he did. But the ruling is still being debated on either side of the Ohio-Michigan border. Last week a nuclear physicist at Wayne State told the Detroit Free Press that math and chemistry make it incredibly difficult for anyone to get that call right, humans or video cameras. Then again, hes also a Michigan grad.Week 14: 1 foot forward, 1 arm left On Saturday night, almost simultaneously, two conference championship games were determined by about 12 inches each. In Orlando, Virginia Tech was down a TD and down to a fourth down, at the 23 with 1:11 on the clock and thinking overtime. Quarterback Jerod Evans dropped back to throw. Clemson linebacker Kendall Joseph blitzed. Tech knew it was probably coming, and thats why the Hokies had running back Travon McMillian stay home to block. But he was waiting on the right, not the left. As Joseph streaked by, McMillian threw his arm out and grabbed, but got ahold of nothing. Joseph hit Evans as he threw, the pass fell short of tight end Bucky Hodges (who appeared to be wide-open), and the playoff chaos -- at least any involving the ACC -- was avoided. Meanwhile, in the Big Ten championship, Wisconsin was in a nearly identical situation, trailing Penn State 38-31 and deep in enemy territory. Corey Clement was handed the ball on fourth-and-1 with 1:05 remaining. He was met head-on by DBs Marcus Allen and Grant Haley and stopped 1 foot short at the 24-yard line. Penn State saved its game and title. But 12 hours later, it was the Nittany Lions who came up short.Sunday afternoon I stared at my computer monitor, looking at the just-revealed final College Football Playoff rankings. Then I got out a tape measure and checked the distance on that screen between Ohio State in third and Penn State in fifth.It was exactly an inch.So, no offense to the guy from Wayne State, but when it comes to 2016, it doesnt take a doctorate in physics to realize that one of the oldest clichés in sports isnt a cliché at all. Its a game of inches is a rock-solid fact. Just ask any fan who watched any big game of this college football season.Or Al Pacino.

Who would be Charlie Whiting? Last Sunday he was damned if he did and damned if he didnt.The race director had to walk the fine line between providing a race for the bedraggled spectators around the track and an expectant audience sitting in the dry at home while, at the same time, carrying the can should something go terribly wrong.Take Kimi R?ikk?nens spin as one example. What if someone had speared through the spray and into the hapless Finn? What if that car had ridden up the nose of the Ferrari and struck the driver? What if bits of debris had flown into the pit lane or the grandstand?Hypothetical and pessimistic, I know. But its not difficult to imagine the headlines the following morning as the world - fed by a voracious media - demanded answers. In the event of a fatality or serious injury, the first question in these Health and Safety obsessed days would have been: Surely it was madness to allow the race to run in those conditions? Over to you, Mr. Whiting.As it happens, the race director and his team called it absolutely right. With one proviso. The second red flag was so much of a mystery at the time that Niki Lauda and TV commentators questioned it in public.In fact, the decision was driven by the fairly certain knowledge that the poor weather was set to continue, thus bringing further tedious safety car running as the clock ticked towards the two-hour cut-off. Far better, it was reasoned, to wait for an improvement and then get on with the racing. Which is exactly what happened. The single failure was not to relay such commendable logic to the waiting world and short-circuit the subsequent bad PR.Lauda did say that drivers should be allowed to decide for themselves whether or not to race. Its difficult to argue with the triple world champion on that one, particularly when he quit the teeming wet 1976 Japanese Grand Prix knowing that ballsy decision might assist James Hunt to the title.When discussing last Sundays fantastic motor race (to quote Christian Horner and many others), it is worth noting that the same sentiments might have been voiced post-race at Suzuka 2014 had Jules Bianchi not had his appalling accident. Without getting into a discussion about the reason behind it, the crash did highlight the difficulties facing the man with his finger hovering over the red button.Much has been written and tweeted about Max Verstappens drive (and lets not forget Lewis Hamiltons peerless performance at the front) with comparisons being made between the Red Bull drivers stunning commitment and that of Ayrton Senna at Monaco in 1984.On that day, 32 years ago, the responsibility for halting the wet race lay with Jacky Ickx, the Clerk of the Course. Here was a man who knew all about winning in the rain (think 1968 French Grand Prix at Rouen) and yet he faced calls to have this one stopped. Ickx duly showed the red flag after 31 laps -- just as Senna, driving the cumbersome Toleman-Hart, had caught and was about to pass Alain Prosts leading McLaren-TAG.Sennas first F1 win denied by an official decision? Possibly not. A look at the lap times shows the leaders being caught hand-over fist by Stefan Bellof in the nimble non-turbo Tyrrell-Ford. Sennas fastest lap had been 1:54.334 on lap 24. His final three laps were 1:55.666, 1:59.008 and 1:59.433. Bellofs final three were 1:54.978 (his fastest), 1:58.949 and 1:59.219.You will not find Bellofs lap times on the FIAs official Olivetti/Longines results sheets for 1984. His name, and that of team-mate Martin Brundle, was surgically removed after Tyrrell had been thrown out of the championship later in the year.At least we wont have that to contend with when discussing what might have happened in the championship had different decisions been made last Sunday. Then again, given this roller-coaster season, anything could happen. Cheap Niklas Sule Jersey . Neymar curled home a free kick from just outside the area to put the 2014 World Cup host ahead in the 44th minute.

William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period. http://www.cheapgermanysoccerjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-joshua-kimmich-jersey .

On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks.TSN Hockey Insiders Bob McKenzie, Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger gathered for the latest installment of Insider Trading and the topics discussed were Kris Letangs future in Pittsburgh, Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Bernier, getting New York Ranger Henrik Lundqvist a contract extension and the latest on the Rangers thoughts on buying out Brad Richards. With an $18.2 million cap hit tied up in Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby, is Kris Letangs future in Pittsburgh cloudy or will it get cleared up shortly? Pierre LeBrun: Kent Hughes, the agent for Letang, lives in Boston so it would only make sense that with Penguins GM Ray Shero in Boston for the GM meetings on Wednesday that the two will meet in what could be a pivotal moment in terms of the future of Letang. He has a year left on his current deal but consider Sheros M.O. here. A year ago when Jordan Staal rejected an offer from the Penguins, he was traded in about eight minutes. Well, it was about 48 hours but you get the drift. Hes not going to let Letang go into next season, I dont think, as a potential unrestricted free agent for next summer. Either he signs him or I think he trades him. But let me tell you something; I dont think Kris Letang signs for less than $7 million a year and that might be a big ticket for Pittsburgh. Is Jonathan Bernier the hot name right now on the market? Bob McKenzie: No question about that. There are multiple teams talking to the Los Angeles Kings about the young goaltender who hasnt really gotten an opportunity to be the No. 1 goalie. It is now a luxury the Kings cannot afford. The Philadelphia Flyers, New York Islanders and Toronto Maple Leafs are among the teams that appear to be most interested. Some of the names that were hearing are Matt Frattin out of Toronto and Matt Read out of Philadelphia. Darren Dreger: Bernier, Emery, Backstrom. You name it; there are a number of goaltenders on the list of the Flyers right now. The question is; does that mean automatically that Ilya Bryzgalov is getting bought out by the Flyers? Some say absolutely while others are more guarded and say not necessarily. What were told is that hes not beloved in the dressing room, so to fix that issue the Flyers are going to have to consider their options. At the top of the list, especially in light of Mark Streit agreeing to the four-year, $21 million contract, is the cap issue and Bryzgalov could satisfy that with a buyout. LeBrun: One player for sure that the Flyers have told that theyre buying out is Danny Briere.dddddddddddd Briere had a meeting with GM Paul Holmgren last week where he told the player he was going to be bought out. Briere will be an unrestricted free agent hitting the market. Complicating the situation for Briere is that the single dads kids are in Philadelphia, so its a bit of a sensitive situation. But Im told Briere thought Holmgren handled it with a lot of class. How challenging will it be to get the New York Rangers Henrik Lundqvist extended, and what kind of money will it cost? McKenzie: Its going to be big money. Lundqvist is a franchise player and the Rangers rely heavily on him. Negotiations for a new contract have not started. He has a year left on his existing deal, but the Rangers want to get that locked up. It is expected that general manager Glen Sather and the agent for Lundqvist, Don Meehan, are likely to meet some time in or around the draft in Newark at the end of the month. What kind of money are we talking about? Well, Malkin just signed for $9.5 million per year extension and I think Lundqvist views himself as the same sort of franchise player with the Rangers. Now, the highest paid goaltender in the NHL is Nashvilles Pekka Rinne at $7 million a year. Im sure the Rangers are going to say any dollar figure over $7 million means youre going to have a tougher time having Ryan McDonagh, Dan Girardi and Staal in front of you. Whatever money we spend on you is money we dont have for other people. But by the same token, I think they understand his value so its going to be an interesting and fascinating dynamic to see how high the metre goes. Whats the latest on the potential contract buyout for Rangers Brad Richards? McKenzie: No decision has been made on the buyout but right now if I had to guess, I would suggest that the Rangers perhaps are going to wait a year on the potential buyout and see if Alain Vigneault can push the buttons to get his game back at a high level. Does Pavel Datsyuks extension mean Valtteri Filppula is unaffordable for the Red Wings? Dreger: It seems that way. Hes a pending unrestricted free agent and word on the street suggests that Filppula wants as much as $5.5 million per year on a mega-deal. Outside the organization - seven years, inside - eight years. Thats too much. LeBrun: The Panthers are trying to sign Stephen Weiss but if he is not re-signed, hes perhaps a target for Detroit if Filppula walks.

CLEVELAND -- Three games at Wrigley Field did to Kyle Schwarber what a shredded left knee, six grueling months of rehab and the Cleveland Indians havent: keep the Chicago Cubs slugger in check.The resilient 23-year-old completed a warp-speed recovery after tearing two ligaments in a collision with teammate Dexter Fowler on April 7. Schwarber returned for the World Series and drove in a pair of runs as the designated hitter in Chicagos 5-1 win over Cleveland in Game 2 last Wednesday.Still, doctors didnt trust his knee enough to let him play defense. The result? Three agonizing days in which Schwarber might have been the most anxious person at Wrigley Field.His only appearance during the Series first visit to the Friendly Confines since 1945 came when he popped out as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning of a 1-0 loss in Game 3.Now that its back to Cleveland for Game 6 on Tuesday night, Schwarber can resume his DH duties while the Cubs try to force a Game 7 in search of their first title in more than a century.It gives them some thunder that theyll situate right in the middle, which you have to respect, Indians manager Terry Francona said Monday. But I mean, theyve got a lot of other good bats, too. I think people can get carried away with some things.Kind of hard not to after Schwarber went 3 for 7 with two RBI and a pair of walks in Games 1 and 2. His teammates were left grasping for ways to explain how Schwarber could do that while facing big league pitching for the first time in more than 200 days.Hes a stud, Chicago second baseman Ben Zobrist said. Hes a special player.One whose mere presence provided the Cubs with an emotional jolt when he arrived on the eve of Game 1. The hulking former Indiana Hoosier needed only a weekend in the Arizona Fall League against minor leaguers to get up to speed.He could have just cashed it in and said, `Ill be ready for spring training, Zobrist said.Only Schwarber didnt. Dont let the easy smile or the wannabe hipster bloom of facial hair underneath his chin fool you -- below the surface, theres a work ethic that lacks an off switch.Schwarbers summer was a grind. He was early to the ballpark for physical therapy, followed by weight training or conditioning, extended time in the batting cage and then perhaps the hardest part: watching in sweatpants while Chicagos special season went on without him.It looked easy when he ripped a double off the wall against Indians ace Corey Kluber in Game 1. It wasnt.I dont know theres anybody in the league that can do that, Zobrist said. Its really, really difficult to wake up and get out of bed after six months ... and be a great hitter like he is.Yet all that momentum came to a halt in Chicago, a city that has embraced the barrel-chested masher from the Cincinnati suburbs as one of its own. On a team of preternaturally composed budding stars like Kris Bryant and Addison Russell, Schwarber is the go-for-broke kid. His swing is all swagger, menace and muscle. He doesnt step into the box looking to make contact. Thats not why the Cubs pay him, anyway.All that confidence couldnt make an impact from the bench at Wrigley, though. Chicago manager Joe Maddon tried to find spots for Schwarber, but his pinch-hit appearance in Game 3 was his only trip to the batters box. He was on deck when the Cubs made the final out of their Game 4 loss, and didnt even get that close during a Game 5 win.That wont be an issue in Cleveland, a development thats given Maddon a newfound appreciation for the DH, something that waned after he left the American League by bolting from Tampa Bay to Chicago in November 2014.Im a much bigger fan of the National League game in general, Maddon said. But under these circumstances where we are right now in the year, Ill take that American League game just to get Schwarbs involved.

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Sakura Yokomine bogeyed the final hole for a 5-under 67 and a one-stroke lead over Brooke Henderson, Paula Creamer and Amy Yang on Thursday in the LPGA Taiwan Championship.Yokomine eagled the par-5 12th -- hitting a 5-wood to 15 feet -- and had three back-nine birdies at windy Miramar before dropping the stroke on the par-5 18th. The 30-year-old Japanese player is winless in two seasons on the LPGA Tour after winning 23 times on the Japan LPGA Tour.My shots were good, Yokomine said. It was strong, a strong wind today. Each shot I had to concentrate.Henderson birdied three of the final four holes, playing in the last group of the day.Its very windy out here so you really got to pay attention, Henderson said.The 19-year-old Canadian chipped on the par-4 15th , with the ball racing downhill and hitting the flagstick.I kind of had a tough lie in the rough there on the left side of 15, and so I just kind of tried to hit it out to the right, Henderson said. I was thinking in my head, `Try and get up-and-down and save par and then try and make some birdies on the last three holes. I was able to chip that one in, birdie 16, had a good chance on 17, birdied 18. It was really the ideal ending.The fourth-ranked Henderson has two victories this year, winning the major KPMG Womens PGA in June and successfully defending her Cambia Portland Classic title in July.Yokomine and Henderson are making their 26th starts of the year, tied with Kim Kaufman for the tour lead. Henderson plans to play all six weeks on the Asian Swing, a journey that started last week in China with a fourth-place tie, and will take her to South Korea, back to China, and then to Malaysia and Japan.Creamer had a bogey-free round, working with caddie Colin Cann in the windy conditions.Ive always played really well when its windy and just kind of tough, Creamer said. You have to think a lot out there. Colin and I worked really well as a team today. Its pretty windy in certain spots out on this golf course, and he did a good job of figuring that out for us.She won the last of her 10 LPGA Tour titles in February 2014 in Singapore.Yang was 6 under through 13 holes, then bogeyed the next two.Ai Miyazato, Ha Na Jang, Lee-Anne Pace, Beatriz Recari and Hee Young Park shot 69.Im playing this tournament since five years ago and I know how to play in the wind, especially on this golf course, so that experience helped for sure, Miyazato said. I grew up in Okinawa and Okinawa is really windy place, too. So, I kind of grew up playing in the wind.Defending champion Lydia Ko had a double bogey on the par-4 fifth in a 70.

The Brooklyn Nets have waived seven-time All-Star guard Joe Johnson to enable him to join an NBA play-off contender. The 34-year-old will be able to join a new team on Saturday afternoon when he clears waivers, with multiple teams already having shown an interest in the expert three-point shooter after the rest of his contract was bought out.Johnson was averaging 11.8 points, 4.1 assists and three rebounds per game this season for the Nets, but they boast a paltry 15-42 record and rank 14th of 15 teams in the Eastern Conference. He has been one of the highest paid players in the NBA since signing a six-year, $124m contract with the Atlanta Hawks back in 2010 - Johnson was traded to the Nets in 2012 for a package of five players and a first-round draft pick.Nets general manager Sean Marks said: Joe has been a quality professional since joining the Nets four years ago, was a valued member of three play-off teams, and provided many thrilling moments for his team-mates and Nets fans. We wish him much success in the future.But Marks said there was still a chance Johnson could return to Brooklyn next season if he does not secure a long-term deal with his next team.He added: You never know whats going to happen with the future. But if he ends up somewhere else, were basically saying, Joe best of luck to you and well catch up with you down the road. Its been fun.But Im not going to rule anything out. But at the same time weve got some different things on our horizon, I guess, right now. Mexico Rafael Marquez World Cup Jersey . -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf.

Wholesale Mexico Jerseys . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. Alex Lozowski marked his England elite player squad call-up by scoring two tries as Saracens inflicted a fifth successive Aviva Premiership defeat of the season on Bristol.The Saracens fly-half, who has impressed this season as deputy for an injured Owen Farrell, struck in each half to underpin a 39-0 bonus-point victory at Ashton Gate.Lozowskis half-back partner Ben Spencer added two conversions and two penalties, while full-back Chris Wyles, hooker Jamie George and lock George Kruis also touched down and Lozowski also kicked two conversions less than 12 hours after being named in the EPS by England head coach Eddie Jones.Although Saracens never hit top gear, their fourth win of the campaign saw them reclaim top spot from Wasps.Bristol, as they had done in previous Ashton Gate outings this term against Northampton and Exeter, battled hard throughout the contest, but they remain four points adrift at the Premiership basement ahead of a testing trip to Newcastle next weekend.Bristol showed three changes from the side beaten at home by Exeter last time out, with wing Charlie Amesbury, centre Jack Tovey and prop Anthony Perenise all starting, while England lock Kruis returned to action for Saracens after injury, but Farrell remained sidelined because of a back problem and Lozowski continued in the number 10 shirt.Saracens, ruffled by a first defeat of the season against Harlequins six days ago, opted for an aerial bombardment in the early stages as Spencer repeatedly tested Bristols defence.The home side, though, showed no sign of being short on confidence, and they gave as good as they got until Saracens cut them open after 14 minutes when Lozowski darted over for a try that Spencer converted to hand the visitors a 7-00 lead.ddddddddddddpencer then landed a penalty as Saracens exerted territorial control, and they were unlucky not to extend their lead when flanker Schalk Burger found skipper Brad Barritt with a brilliant pass, but Barritt was hauled down a metre out and Bristol cleared.Bristol, having conceded 164 points in their first four Premiership games, were resilient in defence and frustrated Saracens through some impressive one-on-one tackling, before another Spencer penalty made it 13-0 just after half-time.And before the home side could regroup, they conceded a soft try when replacement Adrian Jarvis saw his attempted clearance charged down by Lozowski, who applied a one-handed touchdown just before the ball rolled over the dead-ball line.Spencer added the extras, and Bristol inevitably began to run out of steam, which was emphasised when Burger and his fellow flanker Jackson Wray linked impressively before Burgers pass sent Wyles sprinting over unopposed with 20 minutes left.Lozowski effortlessly kicked the wide-angled conversion, and Bristol faced a testing final quarter as Saracens threatened to cut loose on the back of plentiful possession.Bristol battled for a consolation score as Saracens boss Mark McCall rang the changes - Barritt and Maro Itoje were among those to go off - but the visitors soon resumed normal service as George powered over from close range after Bristols substitute hooker Max Crumpton was sin-binned for a technical offence.And there was still time for Kruis to complete an emphatic success when he crashed over to complete the games final move, with Lozowski converting.

CLEVELAND -- As the days in September dwindle, the Kansas City Royals understand that this October will be very different for them.Their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, the Royals were beaten 5-2 on Thursday night by the Cleveland Indians, who swept the three-game series and pushed the defending World Series champions nearer to elimination.Dylan Gee (7-9) gave up a three-run homer to Carlos Santana in the sixth inning as the Indians moved closer to their first AL Central title since 2007. Kansas City was eliminated from the division race on Wednesday and began the night trailing six teams in the wild-card race.Youre not going to live a charmed life forever, and we did last year by not really suffering any major injuries, manager Ned Yost said. This year we did.With the loss, the Royals went 1-9 in Cleveland this season.Alcides Escobar hit a two-run homer for Kansas City (77-76), which cant afford many more losses to have any chance of returning to the playoffs.At this point, finishing above .500 is a more attainable goal.Gee hit Jason Kipnis to start the sixth and Francisco Lindor walked. One out later, Santana drove his 34th homer into the right-field seats. After he crossed home plate, Santana pointed at NBA free agent swingman J.R. Smith, who helped the Cavaliers win the NBA title this year and end Clevelands 52-year championship drought.It wasnt an awful pitch, he made the adjustment and got enough of it to get it out, Gee said. Hitting a guy and walking a guy makes it tough to pitch.Santana went 7 for 12 with five RBI in the Indians series sweep.Its been that kind of year for the Royals, who have endured a number of injuries to key players. Catcher Salvador Perez, third baseman Mike Moustakas, outfielders Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain, and closer Wade Davis all missed extended time.Ive been very proud of the way this team continues to battle through all adversity, Yost said. They dont quit. Theyre every bit into these games as they were at this time last year. Thats a good trait to have.Royals left-hander Jason Vargas made just his second start since coming back from Tommy John surgery last year. He allowed a homer to Kipnis and an RBI double to Santana in the first and went four innings.Im just happy to go out there and be healthy and not have any issues when I come out of the game, said Vargas.With Cleveland starters Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar dealing with injuries and likely out for the playoffs, Mike Clevinger could hold a pivotal role for the Indians in October. The rookie showed poise in working out of potential trouble as the Royals put the leadoff man on in three straight innings.It was a solid postseason audition for Clevinger, who allowed four hits in five innings before giving way to Clevelands solid bullpen.The Indians jumped on Vargas for two runs in the first.Kipnis made it 1-0 with his 23rd homer. Once he was back in the dugout, the second baseman was carried through a lineup of welcoming teammates by catcher Chris Gimenez and outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall, a celebratory ride that has become a staple this season.NO SURPRISERoyals designated hitter Kendrys Morales is finishing the season strong after struggling the first two months. Morales leads the majors with 26 RBI in September and has hit 29 homers, the second-highest total of his career.You knew it would be a matter of time until he turned it around, Yost said. Theres too much talent not to. You dont see him losing his skills. He was going through a tough period.Escobars shot to center tied it 2-2 in the second. It was Escobars sixth homer in his last 149 at-bats, quite a power surge for the shortstop who had homered just once in his previous 600 at-bats.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: OF Lorenzo Cain (inflammation in left wrist) hasnt played since Sept. 9 and could miss the rest of the season.UP NEXTRoyals: LHP Danny Duffy (12-2) will match a career high by making his 25th start this season as Kansas City begins a three-game set in Detroit. With a win, Duffy will have the most wins by a Royals left-hander since Charlie Leibrandt won 13 in 1988.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- For decades, basketball players have dreamed of being like Mike.Thunder guard Russell Westbrook really is like Mike.So says Mike himself.Basketball great Michael Jordan inducted Westbrook into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame on Thursday night and heaped high praise on Westbrook, one of the most visible and accomplished Jordan Brand athletes.I am truly a fan of his, said Jordan, the six-time NBA champion and five-time MVP. When I watch him play, I see a lot of resemblance of his passion for the game of basketball, the way I played the game of basketball.Westbrook is a two-time All-Star MVP and was the 2014-15 scoring champion. Last season, he posted 18 triple-doubles. This season, he has three triple-doubles and is averaging a Jordan-esque 31.8 points per game.Even with all that, Westbrook declined when asked to compare himself to Jordan, instead focusing on how fortunate he feels to have built a relationship with him.Michaels obviously the best that ever played the game, Westbrook said. Hes done so many things for the game of basketball, so many ways and broken so many barriers for guys like myself to be able to go out and compete at a high level, so it means a lot in that aspect. Off the court, hes carried a great brand. Its something I eventually want to do when Im done.Jordan commended Westbrook for re-signing with the Thunder after Kevin Durant left and signed with the Golden State Warriors.Im not here to try to bash aanyone thats not here, Jordan said, drawing laughter from the crowd at the Cox Convention Center.ddddddddddddEverybody has a choice. Im not saying you dont have a choice. Everybody has a choice, and when I saw that he chose to stay here in Oklahoma, I was so proud.Westbrook appreciated the fact that Jordan, the current Charlotte Hornets owner, answered Thunder owner Clay Bennetts call to attend.M.J.s one of those guys -- obviously, Im a part of his brand, and hes a guy that respects you and the things that you do, Westbrook said. He took time out of his day to come all the way to Oklahoma City to do this for me is an amazing honor. Im happy to have him here.In 2015, Westbrook won the NBAs Community Assist Award for his philanthropic efforts. He has opened several reading rooms, providing books for kids in low-income areas. Westbrook served at his WhyNot Foundations annual Thanksgiving Dinner at the Boys and Girls Club on Tuesday. Jordan specifically mentioned Westbrooks off-the-court accomplishments as a reason he was proud to be the presenter.It was a memorable night for Westbrook, whose teammates all dressed up and attended the banquet.Its an unbelievable honor to go in, he said. Its definitely a blessing. Its something that you wont forget.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/CliffBruntAP .

Panthers, who became the first team to score 50 points this season, also moved to the top of the table following their emphatic victory.?The two teams were tied 2-2 after six minutes, but Jasvir Singh scored two raid points to open up a two-point lead for Panthers. The team soon inflicted an all-out to stretch their lead to 12-4. Delhis Selvamani picked up two raid points to reduce the deficit, but his teams defence was shaky, failing to score a single tackle point in the first half. It meant that Panthers went into the break with a commanding 26-11 lead, Jasvir topping the scoring chart with seven raid points.Delhi started the second half brightly and sent Jasivr to the bench, but Panthers forced two super tackles in the 30th minute to extend their advantage to 33-19.

And by their own account, the Azzurri were fortunate to come out on top. Italy rallied from a two-goal deficit Wednesday to overcome a passionate Japan squad coached by one of their countryman and reach the Confederations Cup semifinals. First-half substitute Sebastian Giovinco scored the winner in the 86th minute of a wild match at the Arena Pernambuco, pounding home a cross from Claudio Marchisio. After a dismal start for the Azzurri that saw Japan score twice in the opening 33 minutes, Daniele De Rossi pulled one back with a header in the 41st, Japan defender Atsuto Uchida scored an own-goal in the 50th and Mario Balotelli converted a penalty in the 52nd to give Italy a 3-2 lead. Japan had taken the lead with a penalty from Keisuke Honda in the 21st. Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa made it 2-0 in the 33rd after a defensive error. Shinji Okazaki later made it 3-3 in the 69th. In all, Japan produced 17 shots, 11 of them on goal and three off the woodwork. "That shows how fortunate we were tonight," Italy goalkeeper and captain Gianluigi Buffon said. "We won a match we probably shouldnt have won." Italy put seven of its 12 shots on goal. "They had fewer opportunities but they were better at scoring," Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni said. "The difference in international experience was clear." The offensive outburst was surprising considering the stifling conditions. On an evening with intermittent rain, the temperature hovered at 24 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Fahrenheit) but it felt much warmer with the humidity ranging from 75 to 100 per cent. "The climate was incredible," De Rossi said. "This was one of the toughest matches of my career." Italy moved level with Brazil at the top of Group A with six points each. Brazil beat Mexico 2-0 earlier Sunday and has now also advanced courtesy of Italys win. In the final round of group matches, Italy will face host Brazil in Salvador on Saturday and Japan meets Mexico in Belo Horizonte. Buffon suggested that Italy play some reserves against Brazil. "We usually go down to the 90th minute of the third match," he said. "This is one of the few times we have this advantage and we should take advantage of it." Compared to 2009, when Italy was eliminated in the first round of the Confederations Cup in South Africa, this tournament is already a success. "Tonight we really, really struggled," Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said. "We need to deal with the climate,, its really difficult.dddddddddddd ... But I liked the way we suffered. We could have felt satisfied with ourselves but instead we wanted the win." Making things more difficult for Italy was that most of the fans inside the stadium, which was about three-quarters full with mainly Brazilians, were supporting Japan. For the first half hour, Italy struggled with defensive errors while Japan controlled the majority of the play. "We fell behind 2-0 because we didnt understand what we should have done," Prandelli said. "We didnt have any energy." Zaccheroni, an Italian who took over as coach of Japan three years ago, seemed to know just how to contain Italy. "They ran three times as much as we did," Italy defender Andrea Barzagli said. First, Mattia De Sciglio made a poor backpass to set up Hondas penalty. The pass forced Buffon to tackle Okazaki inside the area. Buffon protested vehemently that it was a clean tackle but Argentine referee Diego Abal thought otherwise and pointed to the penalty spot and showed Buffon a yellow card. Italy also struggled with penalties in its last two matches, allowing Mexico an equalizer in its tournament opener and a late penalty in its 2-2 draw against Haiti in a warm-up game last week. Next, Giorgio Chiellini mistimed a clearing attempt on a bouncing ball inside the area and Kagawa took advantage by firing in an acrobatic strike. The 24-year-old Kagawa is quickly becoming Japans most talented player. In March, he became the first Asian to score a hat trick in the English Premier League when he led United to a 4-0 win over Norwich. Italy didnt really threaten at all until De Rossi scored by meeting a corner from Andrea Pirlo with a textbook header. However, De Rossi will miss Italys next match after picking up his second yellow card in two games. The goal energized Italy and Emanuele Giaccherini nearly levelled the score when his shot hit the post in first-half injury time. The own-goal that made it 2-2 came when Giaccherini attempted to pass to a wide open Balotelli and Uchida intercepted and knocked it into his own net. Italy went ahead 3-2 from Balotellis penalty following a hand ball by Japan captain Makoto Hasebe. Using his usual stutter-step technique, Balotelli easily fooled the Japan goalkeeper and improved to 18 for 18 on penalty kicks in his career, both with clubs and Italy. Okazaki then shocked the Italians when he beat Riccardo Montolivo to a header to make it 3-3. Even after Giovincos goal, Japan refused to give up and got the ball in the net in the 89th only for the goal to be disallowed for offside.
