OAKLAND, Calif., March 17,2009(AP) -- Monta Ellis showed why he's the future Warriors point guard. He played a lot like last year's point guard, Baron Davis. Ellis matched his season high with 29 points, Corey Maggette had 21, and Golden State defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 127-120 Tuesday night, its seventh straight home win against the Clippers. "He took another nice step,'' Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "There's nothing wrong with being a scoring point guard. He tried to make plays ...
Which teams will surprise and which ones are heading to the Final Four? The Times's Connor Ennis and Pete Thamel break down the NCAA basketball bracket.
Seagulls' sub Glenn Murray stepped off the bench to score two and make another goal to condemn Millwall to a second successive away defeat at a rain-swept Withdean Stadium. Murray, a 28th-minute replacement for the injured Adam Virgo, fired the home side ahead a minute before the break against the run of play. Tresor Kandol hauled The Lions level within three minutes of the restart only for Murray to add his second in highly contentious circumstances on 52 minutes. Bradley Johnson (64mins ...
he Toronto Raptors breathed a collective sigh of relief Friday. Chris Bosh and Andrea Bargnani poured in 19 points apiece to lead the Raptors to a 94-73 win over the Houston Rockets, snapping a four-game losing streak at the Air Canada Centre and giving Toronto just their fifth victory in their last 18 outings. ``We needed that,'' Bosh said afterward. ``Everybody was thinking about the whole New Year thing and how to start off fresh, and just get a change of momentum, and that was a good win ...
MIAMI(AP) Unless the Miami Heat go on a 55-game losing streak, they're officially better than last season. Dwyane Wade had 32 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, Daequan Cook scored 15 of his 20 points to spark a second-quarter comeback, and the Heat matched last season's win total by beating the injury-depleted Golden State Warriors 96-88 on Tuesday night. Udonis Haslem scored 16 points and Shawn Marion finished with a Heat season-high 16 rebounds as Miami reached the 15-win mark in ...

Late in the fourth quarter Friday and with the game's outcome still in doubt, a fired-up Chris Bosh was fouled on a basket, letting out a loud roar and flexing his arms as he walked up the court. The Toronto Raptors captain may have been late in arriving Friday, but he certainly let his presence be known. Bosh arrived just 45 minutes before tipoff Friday after being stuck in the elevator of his condo for 50 minutes, but he shrugged off any pre-game rust as the game wore on, scoring 30 points ...
DAVIDSON (NCAA) - Rarely has a player caused a stir in American college basketball the way Stephen Curry did last season with the Davidson Wildcats. A member of the United States silver-medal winning side at the 2007 FIBA U19 FIBA World Championship in Serbia, Curry, 20, is a junior at Davidson where he plays for coach Bob McKillop. His terrific performances helped propel the Southern Conference champions into the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament where they narrowly missed out on a place ...

As if the parade of losses wasn't enough, the star forward withdrew minutes before tipoff with a bad back. But against that dreary backdrop, the Philadelphia 76ers perhaps saved their season. Allen Iverson scored 39 points and the slumping 76ers beat Chicago 89-75 on Saturday night to tie the Bulls for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. That snapped the Sixers' three-game losing streak and gave them a four-game split with the Bulls. Chicago currently owns the next tiebreaker, better ...
GAME TWO - the break rotated to my opponent, who failed to pocket a ball. The 8, 4, and 14 were tied up in the rack area, but I saw that if I led off with the 15-10 combo I could spread them and still leave the 15 as insurance near the corner pocket. I like to open clusters early, while there are plenty of alternate shots remaining. After the breakout, the 8 wound up on the side rail blocking my opponents 3. This allowed me to play a little more aggressively than otherwise. At first glance ...
JIUQUAN, Gansu, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- China's third manned spacecraft Shenzhou-7 blasted off from the northwestern Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on Thursday, carrying three astronauts to attempt the country's first-ever space walk.

The Boston Celtics and St. Louis Hawks staged one of the best rivalries of the NBA's early era, meeting in the NBA Finals four times in five years beginning with the 1956-57 season. That would be the first of a record 16 titles that immortalized the Boston Celtics as the most successful franchise in pro basketball, and it went down to the wire. The Celtics survived for a 125-123 double overtime victory in Game 7 as St. Louis player-coach Alex Hannum threw a court-length inbounds pass off the ...
The tipoff of the National Semifinal game between North Carolina and Kansas at the 2008 Final Four
March 27, 2008 The minutes didn't matter. The Denver Nuggets were just encouraged to see a uniform draping Nene's beefy body again, and that great smile splashed across his face once more. The big Brazilian forward played the final 77 seconds of the Nuggets' 118-105 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night, marking his return to the court 2 1/2 months after surgery to remove a malignant testicular tumor. "Everybody was excited to see Nene back out there, just to see him back in his ...

February 8, 2008 ATLANTA -- The Cleveland Cavaliers had every reason to fold. Four of their top seven scorers were sidelined by injuries. This was the second of back-to-back road games. But LeBron James stepped up as expected. Damon Jones hit two huge shots down the stretch. And journeyman Ira Newble had his best game of the season. James scored 26 points despite a sore thumb, and Newble chipped in with a season-best 18 to help the Cavaliers withstand an Atlanta rally in the final quarter ...
One NBA player lords over LeBron James. Carmelo Anthony rules Cleveland's hoops King. "I know he hates losing to me," Anthony said with a laugh. Anthony scored 27 points, All-Star sidekick Allen Iverson added 25 and the Denver Nuggets rolled to a 113-83 win Sunday night over the injury-depleted Cavaliers. Anthony, who got to rest in the fourth quarter, improved to 8-2 in his pro career against good friend James, who scored 30 points -- in three quarters -- but got little help from a ...
TORONTO (CP) -- The Detroit Pistons toyed with the Toronto Raptors all night long Friday, and then like a well-oiled machine pushed their game up to an entirely different gear. The hottest team in the NBA proved too much for Toronto, capturing their 11th consecutive victory with a 101-85 win over the Raptors. ``We were toe to toe with them for pretty much the whole game,'' said Toronto's Chris Bosh. ``But they put us to sleep a little bit, they were real methodical. And then when it was time ...

Caron Butler scored 29 points, Antawn Jamison had 28, and the Washington Wizards beat the Toronto Raptors 101-97 Saturday night in a game in which each team was missing its best player. Butler went 10-for-18 from the field and added seven assists. Jamison was 11-for-18 and had 14 rebounds for the Wizards, who broke a two-game losing streak by shooting 56 percent. The Wizards improved to 5-4 without Gilbert Arenas, who is out several months with a knee injury, while Toronto is 1-1 without ...
Allen Iverson took plenty of shots at his former team, before, during and after the game. It didn't add up to a win, though. Kyle Korver scored 26 points to help the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Denver Nuggets 108-97 Tuesday night in Iverson's first game against his former team. It was weird to see him wearing a white jersey and we're wearing black," Korver said. "I said to one of our coaches that it is so weird to see him on the other side. It wasn't really a good feeling at all. He's a ...
November 6, 1996 This was another classic statement game for Jordan. It was the Bulls' first meeting with the Heat after their sweep in 1996 playoffs. Miami players and Pat Riley were determined to avenge it and make a statement of their own. Heat players were quoted in newspapers saying they had been waiting for this game for a long time, Tim Hardaway saying that he wants to guard Jordan and so on. 96-97 Heat was a tough Riley team anchored by a prime Alonzo Mourning in defense. They were ...
Allen Iverson was healthy enough to dazzle the Sacramento Kings and push the Philadelphia 76ers to the top of the NBA. Iverson scored 46 points with a whirling array of beautiful shots, and Aaron McKie, who had a triple-double, hit a 3-pointer to break a tie with 39 seconds left in overtime as the 76ers earned the NBA's best record with a 107-104 victory over the Kings on Saturday. The game matched the teams with the NBA's best records entering January, but the 76ers (21-8) jumped ahead ...
The Los Angeles Lakers drove a stake into the heart of the Philadelphia 76ers and staked their claim as the NBA's next dynasty. Led by Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers won their second straight title with a 108-96 victory in Game Five of the NBA Finals, completing the greatest postseason run in league history. "A dream come true," O'Neal said. "I always knew we could do it, especially after the first one last year. I just knew that if we did what we were supposed to do that we could get it done ...
