LONDON -- Milos Raonic and Frank Dancevic threw a one-two winning punch for Canada on Tuesday as the eighth seed and the lucky loser combined for a pair of first-round Wimbledon victories within minutes of each other. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., fired 30 aces -- compared to two for his opponent -- in a comfortable 6-2, 6-4, 6-4 win over Australias Matthew Ebden that took little more than 90 minutes. It was a two-hour victory for the 107th-ranked Dancevic, who won his first Wimbledon match since 2011 as he upset 29th-seeded Croatian Ivo Karlovic 6-4, 7-6(5), 7-6(4). Raonic, who lost his only grass tuneup match this month at Halle, Germany, is into the Wimbledon second round for the fourth consecutive year, but hopes to go farther after never winning two matches in a row at the event. The 23-year-old was never in trouble from Ebden, with the Canadian claiming the first two sets and breaking for a lead in the third. Raonic sent over a service winner for three match points, but needed only one as he put a volley into the far corner out of Ebdens reach. "I feel really good about this win, I played a lot better than I expected to," said Raonic. "I showed that I can adjust my game on this surface," said the right-hander with a 10-10 career record on grass. "I did what was necessary to win. I think my Roland Garros quarter-final gave me confidence and showed me that I know what I need to do to win in these situations and eventually get into the second week of slams." Dancevic, a 29-year-old from Niagara Falls, Ont. has played in the main draw at the All England Club seven times and earned his third Wimbledon win as he overcame 32 Karlovic aces. Dancevic never faced a break point and broke the Croatian once. Dancevic advanced with 47 winners and just four unforced errors. "I had to serve really well, it was my main focus," said Dancevic. "But returning was a lottery, I was just guessing. "From the first point I had to pick sides. I returned amazing, From the first ten serves in a row I got ten returns back. It was basically a guessing game, when I got into the point, I had the advantage. It came down to a coin toss, I returned a little bit better on the key points." He entered the field as a lucky loser from qualifying round and won his first match at the ATP level since the U.S. open fist round over Robin Haase last August. "It feels great, I havent been on this grass while," Dancevic said. "I felt motivated by the whole atmosphere and being given a chance to be alive here at Winmbledon. I tried to play relaxed and go for my shots. "Im really, really happy I got through." In womens action Swiss Timea Bacsinszky beat Torontos Sharon Fichman 6-1, 6-3, with the 85th-ranked Canadian admitting she was outplayed. "Im starting to like the grass," said the 23-year-old who was making her main draw debut at the All England Club. "Unfortunately I didnt plays as well as I could have. "It didnt help that my opponent was playing very well, Its disappointing. I felt like I didnt bring a good enough level for most of the match and she did. It was pretty straightforward -- she played well and went for it, I tried and it just didnt work for me today."

The reserves had a season-high 62 points. And the team totalled 36 assists, the franchises most in four years.These are the fun games when everybody gets in there and scores and feels good afterward, Kerr said.There have been a lot of those for Golden State already.Klay Thompson scored 25 points, reserve Justin Holiday had 18 and Festus Ezeli added a career-high 15 points to go with six rebounds in place of injured centre Andrew Bogut, helping the Warriors hold a big lead most of the way.Stephen Curry also had 12 points and 11 assists — and got to rest most of the fourth quarter — as Golden State stretched its NBA-best record to 23-3.We have to learn to share the ball better, the way they do. We have to move it side to side, like they do, said Kings forward Omri Casspi, who had 16 points and eight rebounds.DeMarcus Cousins had 22 points and eight rebounds, and Darren Collison scored 17 points in Sacramentos latest blowout loss to its Northern California rival. The Warriors whipped the Kings 95-77 on opening night in Sacramento and have won six consecutive games in the series, including all four last season.Sacramento has lost 11 of 14 games, a slide that started when Cousins came down with viral meningitis and missed 10 games. The Kings also fired Michael Malone as coach last week, and uncertainty about how long interim coach Tyrone Corbin will man the sidelines has lingered since.We all need to stick together, Corbin said.The Warriors got off to a fast start and controlled the game by doing what they have most of the sseason: clog the paint on defence, push the pace and move the ball.dddddddddddd.They led 36-20 at the end of the first quarter, 76-53 early in the third and — except for a few short-lived surges by Sacramento — kept a comfortable cushion throughout.Perhaps just as important for the Warriors was the return of David Lee, who played for only the second time this season and first since Nov. 5. He had six points on 3-for-9 shooting and seven rebounds in 16 minutes, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd when he entered as a reserve late in the first quarter.Lee admitted he felt some nerves returning to a team that has done so well without him.I was definitely the most excited guy in the NBA to play basketball tonight, Lee said. I havent been nervous for a game in five years.Lee had been out recovering from a strained left hamstring, which forced him to leave after 6 1/2 minutes in his previous appearance against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kerr said the two-time All-Star forward responded well to conversations about coming off the bench, which Lee confirmed.Draymond Green has played exceptional as the starter, and Kerr sees no reason to change what has worked — which has been just about everything this season.___TIP-INSKings: Sacramento had 31 assists and 13 turnovers. ...

Campaigning for Carl I hadnt heard the expression "crafting a campaign" until Michael Davies of the excellent "Men In Blazers" podcast used it to describe his beloved Chelsea, and the manner in which Jose Mourinho engineered his Blues through the nitty gritty of a long Premiership season.  In the rigours of MLS, successful teams have managed their schedule carefully, and even though its early, Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson has already shown signs of recognizing the details of that process. Some might have been surprised Thursday when Robinson told TEAM 1040 radio in Vancouver that skipper Jay DeMerit had been left home to rest so early in the season. But for Robinson, the marathon is as grueling in March as it will be in September. Hes comfortable enough in his squad that well likely see more players left home for longer trips. Flying straight back to Vancouver right after the 0-0 draw with New England allowed players to get home on Saturday night and enjoy two full days off after what has been a taxing, air mile-accumulating couple of months.   From a point gathering perspective, the new Whitecaps boss has also exhibited some proactive substitutions and game management during critical moments in his first three matches. Pedro Morales was brought on in the 65th minute of season opener, which effectively killed the game off. At Chivas, Robinson brought on Kekuta Manneh with enough time to rescue a point. And in New England, with a point in his back pocket, he gave Gershon Koffie a long-awaited introduction which infused a tiring team with some bite and balance to lock down that first clean sheet of the season.   Crafting a campaign Those little decisions dont always work. But they did for Caleb Porter, the reigning MLS coach of the year with Portland. The well-travelled Timbers were a team that foraged for every point - especially away from home, where they didnt win a lot of games, but gathered enough draws (or avoided defeat enough) to help reach the Western Conference summit. Many lamented two points lost for Vancouver at an undermanned and unfairly disregarded Chivas team. Some even expected the Whitecaps to beat a New England squad that hadnt won, nor scored after two weeks. But in Carl Robinsons mind, his team earned a point despite a poor performance in LA, and a clean sheet after a nine-hour travel day against a desperate New England team stuck on no goals after two games. Maybe we should start calling the Whitecaps coach a "campaign" manager.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- When the Golden State Warriors signed free agent Andre Iguodala this summer, most figured that meant Harrison Barnes would be coming off the bench. Think again. Klay Thompson had 17 points and four rebounds playing his second straight preseason game as a reserve in Golden States 94-81 win over the Sacramento Kings on Monday night, while Barnes started alongside Iguodala again. Thompson finished 8 for 17 from the field in 30 minutes. Barnes missed all four shots he took and had one rebound in 6 minutes before sitting the rest of the game with inflammation in his left foot. Warriors coach Mark Jackson said his starting lineup will shuffle throughout the preseason, which includes two exhibitions in China against the Los Angeles Lakers. He said whatever lineup he uses in the regular-season opener Oct. 30 against Los Angeles will be a set rotation that will not fluctuate depending on matchups. The decision will not be determined by who is the best player. "Its what makes us the best team. Its what completes us as a team," Jackson said. "What units starting, which guy coming off the bench, to me, thats key. "I dont think any team I played on, it wasnt necessarily the best five players starting. Sometimes you needed different things off the bench that completed us as a team. And Ill look at all of those things and make a decision." The call between Barnes and Thompson is the only major one Jackson will have to make before the season. The third-year coach believes choosing between two proven players is a blessing and not a burden. All five starters -- Thompson, Barnes, Stephen Curry, David Lee and Andrew Bogut -- are back from a team that won 47 games last season before beating the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs and losing to the eventual Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs in six games. Iguodala turned down Denvers offer and signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the Warriors. While Jackson didnt rule out Iguodala coming off the bench, that scenario seems unlikely given the veterans contract and abilities. What makes the decision difficult is that Thompson and Barnes lack experience in a reserve role. Thompson played 37 games as a reserve during the 2011-12 season, his rookie year. He has started 122 straight games, including the playoffs. Barnes never came off the bench as a rookie last season. Both former first-round draft picks said they have no problem wherever and whenever they play -- so long as they still have a significant role. Thompson even joked with reporters after Mondays morning shootaround that hes "trying to get Sixth Man of the Year." Thompson has clearly been the better of the two so far, though its a small sample size -- and the preseason. Barnes scored 10 points on 3-of-14 shooting, had seven rebounds and three assists in Saturdays 104-95 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Thompson scored 26 points on 11-of-18 shooting in 37 minutes off the bench in that game. He added one rebound. Against Sacramento, Barnes was replaced midway through the first quarter with the Warriors down 16-8. He has been dealing with the nagging foot injury for a few days and will likely sit out at Utah on Tuesday night, Jackson said. Thompson started the second half and highlighted a 14-3 spurt with a breakaway dunk on a pass from Curry that put the Warriors up 58-52 late in the third quarter. "No matter when Klays playing, hes going to be effective," Curry said. Curry scored 23 points and Lee had 14 points and 13 rebounds to help the Warriors build a 16-point lead with 4:33 remaining. Iguodala finished with seven points, five steals, three assists and three rebounds in about 32 minutes. Both coaches began putting in fringe players and the only other noteworthy item of the night left was whether new Kings owner Vivek Ranadive would be a winner in his debut, which also came on his 56th birthday. Currys younger brother, former Duke standout Seth Curry, also made a 3-pointer at the final buzzer to draw cheers from what remained of the announced crowd of 17,821. Isaiah Thomas had 15 points and six assists and DeMarcus Cousins added nine points and four rebounds as Sacramento fell short. The Kings have had seven straight losing seasons and far more modest expectations in the early stages of their rebuilding. "Our reasonable expectation is to compete, play hard, be unselfish and defend," Malone said. "Im not going to put any amount of wins or numbers on that because that would be unfair to this team."

It is amazing what the NFL Draft has become and what it has evolved into over time. For those who remember many years ago, the National Football League draft was more of a gathering of decision-makers with very few evaluating the very many and in many ways, hoping the decisions they make are correct. Now it is an investment that demands a performance dividend and if the dividend does not max out consistently on the football field, people lose jobs and revenue is lost. And these are well paying jobs and high revenue amounts. It is true that finding football players is 50 per cent science and 50 per cent art bordering on pure luck. Maybe that is why it is so entertaining because there really is no common denominator for draft success. Even the best in the business have missed big time on players and groups of players among the various years of evaluating. Some people in football are better than others but if you follow it close enough, not by much. No one really dominates in finding talent year after year.   For Seattle in recent years, Richard Sherman as a fifth round pick and Russell Wilson as a third round pick made the team special. But last year was completely different with fifth round pick and Canadian Luke Willson as well as Michael Bowie in the seventh round really being major contributors. It was a great move to trade #1 for Percy Harvin but you cant say last years draft was as good as previous drafts.             So what is everyone looking for? With all the scouts in all blocks of the country, the coaches who should always have an influence and the managers who have extreme job security if they draft well and no security if they dont, that is a great question. I think there are tangibles and intangibles. The tangible is how the player plays based on film analysis and competition. Truth is, to make good football decisions, all you need is enough good video and a good one-on-one interview. Everything else from the combine and individual workouts is icing on the cake. But sometimes that icing is so good it clouds decisions that could have been made without the "extra look", without pads and looking at movement more than actual on-field football ability. Many people in football become seduced by the visual in-person vs. the true reality of what happens on the field. The tangible "stuff" is easy to assess. It is the intangibles when the art takes over the science and sometimes is merely common sense. I think there are two words that make the difference in all drafting in football: maturity and passion. Maturity is really hard to recognize. Some players in the interview process pass with extreme confidence but when they make money and have to be completely self-motivated are anything but. In other situations, a player may have a criminal record or been involved in "stupid college stuff", then when they achieve wealth and independence, they change for the good. They grow up when you had to wonder if they would ever grow up. Some people are born with maturity on and off the field. Others create it at a certain moment for certain reasons and others yet never find it and it takes a possible great career and changes it to an experience. Having maturity is critical in every way and is difficult to assess correctly. The second intangible is passion. How much does the particular player actually like, even love, football? Now you would think all players love, or at least like, football. Not so. There is so much money in the sport now that playing for money is an easy motivation. By the time you reach your second contract, you could be set for life. Lets say you are 26 years-old, house and car paid off, money in the bank, happily married, success on the field with maybe even a Super Bowl or two. Why play any more football when you know what it does to your body and in some cases your mind? Only after the money is made does the football desire increase or diminish. Until that happens, you just dont know. Every football player will tell every team they LOVE football. But do they love football or do they love what football will get you and what you can purchase? Again just like maturity, you really dont know until time moves on. Come May 8-10, many of the very best will have their life changed in one phone call. For some, it will be a life changing moment that they will capitalize on in a remarkable way. For others, the sport at the pro level will be too much, whether it is due to competition or intensity. Which player will experience which life is an unknown. It may be due to height, weight, speed and everything you can see feel and touch. Or it may be because of how much you want it and how well you can adjust and handle it; a certain mental ability and a certain emotional ability that you can tap into. Between the best athlete with really good video and the lesser athlete, whos maybe not as dominant on the field but has his act together and loves the game, Ill take the latter. Welcome to the NFL draft starting May 8th, a gamble of research and a gamble of hope.

Neither player was in the locker room after the game, but Chiefs coach Andy Reid said both of them will have MRI exams on Monday. Kansas City plays the Denver Broncos, who beat them a week ago, in their crucial return game at Arrowhead Stadium next Sunday. "Im not making excuses," Reid said. "The next guy has to come in and step up." The Chargers (5-6) similarly could be without top running back Ryan Mathews for a while after he left the game with a hamstring injury. San Diego coach Mike McCoy did not disclose the severity of the injury after the game, though Ronnie Brown and Danny Woodhead fared well in relief. Houston was hurt while chasing down a play when Chiefs safety Eric Berry collided with his right arm. Houston was eventually helped off the field, his right arm kept motionless, and helped to the locker room in the waning minutes of the first half. Hali rolled his ankle while trying to get into the Chargers backfield earlier in the second quarter. He was helped from the field, loaded onto a cart and also taken to the locker room. "Its hard to think about it during the game because you have to move on to the next play, but its always tough losing that calibre of players," Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers said. "We have players that are backing them up that are more than capable of doing the job.dddddddddddd" Still, Frank Zombo and Dezman Moses arent quite as effective as Houston and Hali, and their absence was felt in the second half. Philip Rivers had plenty of time and wound up throwing for 392 yards and three touchdowns, the last one to Seyi Ajirotutu with 24 seconds left in the game. It was the eighth and final lead change in a wild game. "We just have to buckle down," Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. "You dont have those guys coming off the edge with that relentless force. We have guys who can step in and play, but we just know as a defence and a secondary we have to bring it." Houston came into the game third in the NFL with 11 sacks, while Hali was tied for fifth with nine. Hali needed two more to pass Art Still (73) for the third most in franchise history. The Chiefs, who had been healthy most of the season, already were playing without starting defensive tackle Mike DeVito because of a knee injury. Allen Bailey replaced him in the lineup. Right guard Jon Asamoah (calf and shoulder) and right tackle Eric Fisher (shoulder) also were inactive after getting hurt in last weeks loss to Denver. Asamoah was replaced by Geoff Schwartz and Fisher by Donald Stephenson in the starting lineup. "This is the National Football League. So when people go down, others step up," Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. "We didnt execute the defence as well as we should have. They have some good players on offence and they capitalized every time we made a little bit of a mistake."

You have worth. You have value. So he values you, which is awesome.Quinns name has been the most talked about in coaching circles since the end of the regular season because of the job hes done as Seattles defensive co-ordinator the past two seasons. All signs point to Quinn becoming the next head coach in Atlanta after having a second interview with the Falcons the day after the NFC championship victory over Green Bay.When asked about the second interview Falcons this week, Quinn said he appreciated all the opportunities hes had and then channeled his own version of Marshawn Lynch.Thanks for asking, he said with a grin.But before anything can be formalized in Atlanta, Quinns task at hand is preparing Seattle to try and slow down Tom Brady and New England in the Super Bowl next Sunday.Ask around and you see why Quinn has become so appreciated in Seattle and why so many teams were eager to talk with him each of the past two years. Players and colleagues speak of his personality and work ethic. Quinn is not a screamer, but a teacher that no one wants to let down.Its why Seattles defence has been so successful. Its built on being physical and tough, but also the accountability that everyone is going to do their assignment. That directive starts with Pete Carroll, but gets passed through his coaches, like Quinn.Its a communication thing, Seattle middle linebacker Bobby Wagner explained. Its not, You have to be here. Its more, Why were you here? This is what I feel. What do you feel? and there is a middle ground. Versus maybe somebody just saying, This is what I want, and there is no ifs ands or buts about it. Its a communication (factor), its a trust factor and a belief factor.What Quinn has helped create is record setting. Seattle was one of three defences in league history to lead the NFL in scoring defence in three straight seasons. They were the first team since the Chicago Bears in 1985-86 to lead the league in total defence and scoring defence in consecutive seasons. The numbers Seattle has posted lend credence to the argument the Seahawks are among the best of this generation.He stayed true to who he is. Thats whats helped him be successful, said former Seattle defensive co-ordinator and current Jacksonville head coach Gus Bradley. Thats what hell do, Im sure, if he gets an opportunity to be a head coach.To that end, Quinns arrival in Seattle brought a different level of defensive aggressiveness. While Bradley was revered by his players, he was sometimes thought to be too passive. Some of that was situational. Bradley was coaching a defence that included Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor and Wagner. They were talented and pointed toward success, but still very young.Quinn believed in that youth as long as there was a high level of accountability. He was willing to let Seattle play a significant amount of man-to-man defence with Thomas the only protection in the back. The rest of Seattles coverages are simplified. There isnt a lot of disguise and confusion with Seattles defence. In turn, the Seahawks play faster and are more efficient.When he came here after we lost Gus Bradley we didnt have an identity. I think (Quinn) came and gave us an identity, Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin said. Respected us as players. Told us this is what we wanted, this is what he expected. Guys go out there and play for him. Hes a players coach. Petes a players coach so as long as you respect them and do what youve got to do theyll give you a little leeway.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Puma Shoes China .Y. - Carey Price had an early feeling that one goal might be enough to settle the latest matchup between his Montreal Canadiens and longtime Original Six foe, the New York Rangers.

You saw it tonight, Laich said. It was a pretty disciplined, structured game.The compete level, the attention to detail, the work ethic has to be in the game every day for us to have success.Patrik Elias scored and Cory Schneider had 25 saves while starting for the 25th time in New Jerseys 27 games this season. The Devils have lost eight of their last 10 and are 3-5-1 against Metropolitan Division teams.We want to find our identity at home, Adam Henrique said. We have to find a way to string some wins together.New Jersey dropped to 3-4-3 at Prudential Center, having played the fewest home games of any NHL team this season.If we dont have a great home record were not getting into the playoffs, Devils coach Pete DeBoer said.Washington took control with the two goals in the second period to take a 3-1 lead.Beagle gave the Capitals the lead with his fourth of the season with 9:15 remaining in the period with a backhander past Schneider. Kuznetsov increased the advantage with a power-play goal from the right circle at with 7:20 left.We just wanted to stay on the gas, honestly, Laich said of the second period in which the Capitals outshot New Jersey 13-8. The first period, we thought we had a good period. We really felt we had our legs under us and found our game. We just wanted to stay with it.Laichs empty-netter with 23 seconds remaining capped the scoring.Washington finished 1 for 2 on the man advantage, while killing both of New Jerseys chances.ddddddddddddThe Devils had entered the game tied for 10th in the NHL in power-play success rate.During New Jerseys second power play, many of the announced 15,230 in attendance booed the man-advantage units before sarcastically cheering the Devils when they entered the Washington zone.Obviously, you never want to hear that, Henrique said. We were frustrated, too.The Metropolitan Division rivals traded early goals, as Alzner opened the scoring at 3:47 of the first period. He ripped a shot from the left wing circle past Schneider for his first of the season after Andy Greene was unable clear the puck from the defensive zone.Elias tied it 3:03 later when he knocked Dainius Zubrus shot over Holtby for his third of the season, and the 396th of his career. Elias, a career-long Devils player, is also five points away from 1,000.The Devils finished with an 34-29 advantage in shots on goal.Theyre a team that really gets to the front of the net and use their D a lot, Capitals coach Barry Trotz said. But for the most part we did a pretty good job and (Holtby) did a really good job for us as well.NOTES: New Jersey announced RW Damien Brunner cleared waivers. Signed to a two-year, $5 million contract last September, Brunner recorded 32 points in 77 games spanning the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. It wasnt working, DeBoer told reporters after the morning skate at AmeriHealth Pavilion. It is unclear if Brunner will report to New Jerseys AHL affiliate in Albany, N.Y. ... Both the Capitals and the Devils held their morning skates at AmeriHealth Pavilion instead of the Prudential Center because Seton Hall and Rutgers had the Prudential Center for a mens college basketball game at noon. ...

TSN.ca presents its latest weekly power rankings for the 2013-14 Barclays Premier League staff. Rankings were weighted evenly between separate lists made by TSN Radio host and soccer analyst Gareth Wheeler as well as TSN.cas soccer editors. 1. Arsenal (Last Week- 2) The Gunners reclaimed the top of the table with a 4-1 victory over Norwich City.  Mesut Ozil was strong once again for Arsenal as he took a turn as provider instead of facilitator with two goals in the match.  Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere also both scored high quality goals. 2. Chelsea (LW- 3) A David Luiz mistake put Chelsea behind, but a strong response led them to an emphatic 4-1 victory over Cardiff City.  Samuel Etoo was allowed to score a controversial goal that turned out to be the winning marker, an Eden Hazard brace and a goal from Oscar provided the rest.  Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands for berating an official. 3. Manchester City (LW- 4) Sergio Aguero scored twice and David Silva added a late insurance marker as City cruised to a 3-1 victory over West Ham.  Alvaro Negredo had another strong game as he continues to build a dangerous partnership with Aguero.  The victory moves Manchester City into the top four of the table. 4. Liverpool (LW- 1) Daniel Sturridge rescued a point for Liverpool after he fired home in the 72nd minute for a 2-2 draw against 10-man Newcastle.  Steven Gerrard converted a penalty for Newcastles other marker after Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa was shown a red card.  5. Tottenham (LW- 6) Andros Townsend continued his solid play for Spurs as he and Roberto Soldado found the net in a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.  Townsends goal was actually meant to be a cross but ended up slipping past Villa keeper Brad Guzan for the opening marker.  He almost added to his tally a few more times before the final whistle but in the end settled for a goal and a strong performance. 6. Southampton (LW- 5) Adam Lallana scored in the 89th minute to give the Saints a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United.  Southampton was strong for stretches of the game and in the end walked away with a deserved point from the contest.  Keeper Artur Boruc was solid, delivering key saves throughout the game. 7. Everton (LW- Back in the lineup and back on the scoreboard, Steven Pienaar returned after six weeks to give Everton a 2-1 victory over Hull City.  Kevin Mirallas opened the scoring in the eighth minute for Everton, Leighton Baines and Sylvain Distin were also strong in the victory. 8. Manchester United (LW- 7) The Champions once again were denied a win at home after a late goal forced them to settle for a 1-1 draw against Southampton.   Robin van Persie put his side ahead with a goal in the 26th minute, a lead they held until the 89th when they gave up the equalizer.  United is now eighth in the table, eight points out of the top spot. 9. West Bromwich Albion (LW- 11) The Baggies were not able to find a winning marker as they were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw against Stoke.  Youssouf Mulumbu was denied a penalty shout that could have decided the game if awarded.  Nicolas Anelka was brought into the game after the hour mark but he wasnt able to change his teams fortunes. 10. Newcastle United (LW- 13)  A back and forth contest left 10-man Newcastle with a 2-2 draw with Liverpool.  Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa was sent off in the 40th minute and though Newcastle took the lead, they werent able to see it through to the end of the game.   Yohan Cabaye and Paul Dummett were on target in the draw for Newcastle. 11. Aston Villa (LW- 9) Andreas Weimann came closest to scoring for Villa but thats the best they could do in a 2-0 loss to Tottenham.  Christian Benteke came into the game in the 61st minute and also had some influence for the visitors but they werent able to crack the scoreboard. 12. Swansea City- (LW- 14) A dominant home performance led to a 4-0 victory for Swansea over Sunderland.  Jonathan De Guzman and Wilfried Bony both scored while the Swans also benefitted from two own goals in the win. 13. Hull City (LW- 10) Yannick Sagbos 30th minute marker was all the Tigers could muster in a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Everton.  Injury to insult for Hull was losing Danny Graham to a knee injury, he is expected to miss three-weeks of action.  Abdoulaye Faye had two chances to grab at least a point for Hull but was not able to find the back of the net. 14. Fulham (LW- 18) After falling behind 1-0, Pajtim Kasamis wonder goal started a comeback that ended in a 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace.  Steve Sidwells goal that stood up as the winner was also a highlight reel marker but the Kasami goal is the one that could be goal of the year.  Dimitar Berbatov and Philippe Senderos also scored for Fulham in the win. 15. West Ham United (LW- 12) The Hammers had trouble dealing with the pace and skill of Manchester City, as they lost at home 3-1.  Ricardo Vaz Te scored the only goal for West Ham but was also defensively responsible for Sergio Agueros second which turned out to be the winner.  West Ham opened the game strong but in the end just didnt have enough to compete. 16. Stoke City (LW- 15) Stephen Ireland wasted the Potters best chance as they split the points with West Brom in a 0-0 draw.  Neither team was able to take control of the game as even the possession numbers were split down the middle at the final whistle.  Stokes four goals are the lowest total in the Premier League this season. 17. Norwich City (LW- 17) Jonathan Howsons 70th minute marker cast some doubt into the contest but in the end was not nearly enough in a 4-1 loss to Arsenal.  Norwich held out against the pressure from their opponents before giving up two goals in five minutes late in the game that sealed their fate. 18. Cardiff City (LW- 16) After taking a 1-0 lead over Chelsea, Cardiff slumped to a 4-1 defeat thanks to defensive mistakes and a controversial referee decision.  Keeper David Marshall was bouncing the ball when he was dispossessed by Chelseas Samuel Etoo leading to the winning goal.  Cardiff was not able to keep up with the pace of the game over 90 minutes. 19. Crystal Palace (LW- 19)  Adrian Mariappa opened the scoring for Palace before they were overrun by Fulham in a 4-1 loss.  From that point it was all downhill for the home side as they conceded twice before the half and two more times after the break. 20. Sunderland (LW- 20) After holding firm in the first half, Sunderland had a nightmare second half conceding three-goals in seven minutes as they fell 4-0 to Swansea.  Gus Poyets first game in charge of the squad was not one to remember as his team managed only one shot on target.  Two of the three goals were credited as own goals and the fourth marker was an 80th minute penalty.

Alec Ogletree Giants Jersey . -- Chicago manager Darold Butler has a message for the Windy City. MINNEAPOLIS -- The shots were clanking and the frustration was mounting for J.J. Barea during a three-game shooting slump that was getting him booed off his home court with regularity. With the lowly Milwaukee Bucks hitting everything in sight, Minnesota coach Rick Adelman gave Barea some time with the Ricky Rubio in the same backcourt, and the throwback lineup helped jumpstart Barea and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kevin Love had 27 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and Barea scored 19 points to lift the Timberwolves to a 112-101 victory over the Bucks on Tuesday night. After going 5 for his previous 25, Barea hit seven of 10 shots to help wake up the sluggish Wolves and Kevin Martin scored 26 points to help them finish a four-game homestand at 2-2. After carving a niche for himself in this league as a helter-skelter, mini-shooting guard who thrives when playing alongside a bigger point guard, roster limitations have forced Adelman to play Barea as a more prototypical backup point guard this season. But Milwaukee plays a smaller backcourt, which allowed Adelman the chance to pair Barea and Rubio. "I love it. I miss it," Barea said. "I miss playing off the ball a little bit, especially with Ricky. When Im making shots, its great for our team." Brandon Knight scored 21 points for the Bucks (13-51), who led at halftime and were looking for their first set of back-to-back victories this season. But after scoring 61 points in the first half and leading by 11 points in the second quarter, the Bucks were outscored 19-4 to start the fourth quarter. "Fourth quarter, we couldnt really get anything going," said Bucks guard Nate Wolters, who had 14 points. "Weve had problems all year in the fourth quarter closing games. We gave ourselves a chance to win, having a lead going into the fourth, but just couldnt get it going and win." Rubio had 11 points and 10 assists and three steals for Minnesota. "J.J.s a great scorer and sometimes he needs to play the (shooting guard)," Rubio said. "But its hard to do it when they have a (big) two. But I like playing with him. He made shots today and he played a lot." The Timberwolves scored 30 points off of 15 turnovers by Milwaukee to offset some poorous defence that allowed the Bucks to shoot 52.dddddddddddd per cent. They trailed by six points at halftime, but Love and Dante Cunningham fueled the game-clinching run with a flurry of jumpers that pushed the lead to 105-88. "There was no pace and we let them get defensive stops," said Bucks forward ZaZa Pachulia, who had a career-high 10 assists with nine points and six rebounds. "They are one of the best teams in transition and they got out in front of us and got easy buckets in transition. We just werent able to get back." The Wolves (32-31) entered the game five games behind Memphis for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. In all likelihood, they kicked away their chance to make the post-season for the first time in 10 years with losses to the Knicks and Raptors earlier in this homestand. A loss to the worst team in the league at home surely would have ended any slim hopes that remained. The Bucks have been playing better basketball, at least offensively, since a trade last month brought Ramon Sessions and Adrien from Charlotte and sent disgruntled guard Gary Neal to the Bobcats. Even so, they were playing the second night of a back-to-back while the Wolves were playing their fourth straight game at home. The Bucks also were missing starting power forward Ersan Ilyasova because of a sore ankle. But as the Timberwolves have done all year long, they delivered a listless defensive effort to give their opponent life it had no business having. Milwaukee made its first 12 shots, the longest streak without a miss to open a game in the league this season, and shot over 71 per cent in the first quarter to jump out to a 33-22 lead. Barea made his first six shots in the second quarter, including a layup that tied the game at 49. NOTES: Wolters, from nearby St. Cloud, Minn., had a large contingent of fans who came both from his hometown and from South Dakota. Wolters starred in college at South Dakota State. ... Timberwolves F Luc Richard Mbah a Moute hosted a dozen young fans from the south of France. The fans made plans to travel to the U.S. to see him play for Sacramento against New York. But Mbah a Moute was traded to Minnesota in December, so he picked up the tab to change their flights.

Despite seeing other Eastern Conference playoff contenders add to their teams prior to the trade deadline, Dave Nonis chose to stand pat, saying that although he did make offers on several rental players, the costs proved prohibitive.
