AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- James Harden has made a living at the free throw line in recent years. This time, his touch was off when it mattered most.Harden, who entered the game shooting 82 percent from the line, missed five free throws in the final 3 minutes against the Detroit Pistons. Fortunately for the Houston Rockets, they were able to hold on in a 99-96 victory Monday night.Harden finished with 28 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds. He went 14 of 19 at the foul line, but only 4 of 9 in the fourth quarter.I had to laugh it off. Its funny, Harden said. But we all have games like this. I cant let it happen. I have to take my time, go up there concentrating on the free throw.Clint Capela added 15 points and 12 rebounds for the Rockets, who won their third straight game.We did not play well all night. I didnt think we were sharp, but we found a way to win, coach Mike DAntoni said.

Drummond missed both free throws and the Pistons fouled Harden, who again made one of two, giving Detroit a chance.Ive got to make free throws -- thats all, Harden said. Make free throws, win the game. Its pretty simple.Caldwell-Pope missed a halfcourt heave at the buzzer, handing Detroit its second straight close loss at home.Were going to have to toughen up to be able to accomplish what we want to accomplish, coach Stan Van Gundy said.Detroit led by 12 in the first quarter and took a 29-18 lead early in the second on Jon Leuers dunk. The Rockets, however, chipped away and tied it 43-all on Capelas alley-oop dunk from Harden with 4:11 left in the period.The Pistons regained a two-point edge, but Harden scored the final seven points of the first half to put Houston ahead 51-46.Houston stretched its lead to 11 in the third quarter and settled for a 79-75 advantage heading into the final period.The Pistons used an 8-0 run early in the fourth quarter to open an 85-82 lead.

The play was reviewed and replays showed the ball left Morris hands just in time.NO HOME COOKINGAfter starting the season 5-0 at home, the Pistons lost their second straight at the Palace. They lost Saturday to Boston 94-92 on Al Horfords last-second shot. Detroit is just 1-7 on the road.Its tough, especially coming off (the Boston loss), said Morris, who finished with 13 points.

Houston shot 44.9 percent from the field, including 32.3 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.We just have to continue to get better and continue to do good things down the stretch and win, Harden said.

Cordrea Tankersley Jersey .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. OXNARD, Calif. -- The Rams and Cowboys have reunited in Southern California, and theres nothing to suggest it wont stay that way.Dallas owner Jerry Jones wants to keep visiting the West Coast for training camp despite the Rams reclaiming of the Los Angeles market and his teams new facility in Texas that will soon have everything the Cowboys need to hold camp at home.The billionaire businessman is also confident the Rams wont have a problem with the Cowboys staying. Oxnard Mayor Tim Flynn says the Cowboys want another contract beyond next year.Dallas started training in the LA area in 1963, long before the Rams moved to St. Louis. They moved back this offseason.Weve got a great legacy of a preseason with our training camp, Jones told The Associated Press last week. We have such a good feeling about Los Angeles as an NFL city. Just love to be a part of the teams preseason preparation for a long time to come. Hope to.Jones was cast as one of the power brokers who helped tip the vote in Rams owner Stan Kroenkes attempt to leave St. Louis. LA Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff said thats one of several reasons the franchises can work well together.I think Stan and the entire organization takes great comfort that the Cowboys are happy to promote their brand, but would never do anything at the expense of our brand, Demoff told the AP.Knowing that, its much easier to facilitate how you work together than it would be under any other circumstances.When the Cowboys return from Oxnard next week, they will report to Frisco, about 30 miles north of Dallas. They will have an indoor practice field for the first time since 2009, when a severe storm destroyed the one at the Valley Ranch facility thats now closing in Irving.The indoor field is also a 12,000-seat stadium that the Frisco high schools will use for games. One of the two practice fields will have an artificial surface, and a sports medicine facility will eventually be part of the site.For Jones, though, theres no substitute for temperatures almost always in the 70s.And he still talks about the California days of coach Tom Landry and general manager Tex Schramm, even though Jones interrupted the 27-year run and started holding camp in Austin, San Antonio and Wichita Falls in the 1990s and 2000s.I really felt a proprietary feeling when we were talking about Loss Angeles and what we were going to do as a league, Jones said.dddddddddddd. It very much enhances, in my mind, the enthusiasm, the awareness and the positive things -- the Cowboys training here in Southern California.Demoff suggested there will have to be another conversation about co-existing camps if another team moves to LA, a stipulation that was left open when owners voted to move the Rams. San Diego and Oakland were the teams given the option if those franchises couldnt reach agreements with their cities.The Cowboys previously trained in the LA area when two teams -- the Raiders and Rams -- were in the market in the 1980s. The site was Cal Lutheran in Thousand Oaks, the temporary headquarters of the relocated Rams until they build a new facility at an undetermined site.They have a long history of being here, Demoff said of the Cowboys. They helped promote the NFL in Los Angeles when there was no team here and helped fill a gap in the market, which I think were certainly grateful for. And I think there are lots of ways in which we can work together.The biggest potential obstacle for Dallas is the availability of the city-owned fields they use next to a hotel complex where players and staff stay.A housing developer bought from the city a large plot of land that was used for parking and concessions, making for a tighter squeeze between one of the fields and a golf course that had one of its tee boxes and a large part of a fairway fenced off for the three-week camp.The city is considering selling the fields as well, which would jeopardize the future of the Cowboys in Oxnard. Flynn voted for the city to keep the land it already sold and feels the same way about the fields.We really want them to come back, Flynn said. Its just great attention for the city.Game notes QB Tony Romo took a day off at practice Tuesday, giving him consecutive days off after three straight days of work. ... Defensive linemen Tyrone Crawford (back), Cedric Thornton (virus) and Terrell McClain (toe) were expected to restock a depleted practice group Tuesday.---Online:AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Cheap Jerseys 2018 NFL Jerseys From China Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
