PORTLAND, Ore. Tracy Porter Jersey . - Brandon Roy didnt want to know if he was running a temperature. Despite feeling feverish, he was going to play anyway. Good thing for the Trail Blazers. Roy scored 24 points, including the go-ahead free throw with 2.3 seconds left, and Portland erased a 19-point deficit to beat the Atlanta Hawks 94-93 on Sunday. "I didnt even ask the doctor," Roy said about his fever. "I just said, Its fine and Im going to play. He said some guys have their best games when theyre under the weather so I said I would try and use that tonight, and I was able to have a good fourth quarter." The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for Portland, which improved its record at the Rose Garden to 18-4. The Blazers pulled within 91-87 with 2:24 left on Roys left-handed layup and free throw. Josh Smith came back for the Hawks with a dunk, but LaMarcus Aldridges bank shot narrowed it again. Roys layup with 1:13 to go made it 93-91, and after Joe Johnson missed a short jumper on the other end, Roy made another layup to tie it. Under relentless pressure by Roy, Johnsons long jumper with 8.3 seconds left fell short. Then Roy tried a fadeaway jumper, but was fouled by Johnson. The crowd at the Rose Garden gasped when Roy missed his first free throw. He made the second for a 94-93 lead, and Johnsons jumper as time ran out missed. Blazers coach Nate McMillan had considered keeping Roy out of the game entirely. "People wouldnt know it, but he might not have played today," McMillan said. "He was running a fever, his eyes were watery and (trainer) Jay Jensen had to give him liquids during the game." Johnson led the Hawks with 19 points. Marvin Williams and Smith each had 17. "Its frustrating, we know we are better than that," Williams said. "Thats a very good Portland team, Ill tell you that. Very well coached and very good players. But we were up 15 to 20 pretty much the whole game and we didnt take advantage of it and they capitalized." Aldridge had 16 points and eight rebounds for the Blazers. The Blazers were coming off a rare loss at home, where they had won 12 straight. Before the 89-79 loss to Houston on Friday night, Portland had not lost at the Rose Garden since Nov. 28. The Hawks are just 6-13 on the road, but were coming off a 99-90 victory at Seattle. That snapped a four-game losing streak overall, and a six-game skid on the road. Atlanta came out looking eager to avenge a loss at home to the Trail Blazers on Monday, when Portlands Travis Outlaw hit a 20-foot jumper with one second left in overtime for the 111-109 win. The Hawks led by as many as 18 points in the first half, shooting 51 per cent from the floor. Anthony Johnsons three-pointer from the corner made it 49-34, and the Hawks extended the lead when Joe Johnson made a layup and free throw to make it 52-34. The Hawks led 52-37 at the half, and the Blazers - who were shooting just 37.5 per cent - were drawing boos from the home crowd. "I was so disappointed in the first half in how we were playing. These fans fill this building up to see us play hard," Roy said. "I was disappointed in our effort and I think in the second half we did a better job of giving them a good show." The Blazers appeared to get a momentum shift going into the fourth quarter, when Outlaws 3-pointer and Channing Fryes long jumper closed the margin to 73-63 The momentum was snuffed when Zaza Pachulia dunked to make it 79-65. The Blazers managed to keep up, even though Atlanta seemed to have an answer every time they closed in. Portland still trailed by 14 points with 6:47 left in the game. Outlaws three-pointer from the corner narrowed it again for the Blazers, at 83-75, but Marvin Williams answered with a long jumper for the Hawks to put the lead back into double digits. After Roy made a free throw and a layup to close the game to 85-78, Anthony Johnson made a three-pointer for the Hawks. Notes: The Blazers have won 12 of the last 13 games against the Hawks. They had won seven straight home games in the series until last season, when the Hawks won 107-96. .. Atlantas Salim Stoudamire went to Lake Oswego High School, just outside of Portland. .. The Blazers are 6-0 in games decided three points or less. Dre Kirkpatrick Womens Jersey . Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Holland is the prospect the Canadiens acquired from the Calgary Flames on January 12, along with Rene Bourque and a second round draft pick in 2013, in return for Michael Cammalleri, Karri Ramo and a fifth round draft pick in 2012. Ray Lewis Jersey . The big, young St. Louis right-hander gave up three hits to become the majors first six-game winner and the Cardinals held on for a 9-6 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Darrelle Revis Jersey . To make room for the newcomers, the Orioles optioned right-hander Tommy Hunter and outfielder Xavier Avery to Norfolk. The moves were made before Sundays game against Cleveland. Robert Mathis Jersey . The next pitch, on an 0-2 count, Grandal air mailed one of his own, a pinch-hit two-run homer that propelled the San Diego Padres to an 8-6 victory Wednesday night and their first three-game sweep in Phoenix. Grandal has now homered in four of his six hits. Santonio Holmes Jersey . "I feel for him. I feel with him. He wants to be here right now. I want him to be here right now and well work hard to get that accomplished," Loomis said Friday while attending an event at the Saints Hall of Fame. MONTREAL -- The Montreal Impact gained an important three points and perhaps some bragging rights with their 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution on Wednesday night. The win on a 68th minute goal from Sanna Nyassi was their seventh this season, one more than Toronto FC had as an expansion team in 2007 and the Vancouver Whitecaps got in their first Major League Soccer campaign in 2011. But its not an achievement to crow about for the Impact (7-12-3), who are convinced their record would be even better had they not let points slip away with sloppy defensive play this season. "We dont use the E-word," coach Jesse Marsch said of his expansion squad. "I think theres disappointment overall at the results because, within the group, theres a feeling that were a good team." Patrice Bernier opened the scoring on a 28th minute penalty kick for Montreal (7-12-3) and Lee Nguyen stunned the crowd of 15,615 at Saputo Stadium with the equalizer for New England one minute before the intermission. "Surprisingly, even though it was the last minute before half time, no one was feeling sorry for themselves or saying here we go again, " said captain Davy Arnaud. "We were confident in what we were going to do in the second half. "We got the goal and held onto it." The Impact leapfrogged New England (6-9-4) into sixth place in the standings, although the Revolution hold three games in hand. Montreal can gain more ground Saturday when they travel to fifth-place Houston. "We obviously are an expansion team but from day one weve said we dont want that to be what were about or to use that as any kind of excuse," added Arnaud, who lauded his clubs defensive effort. "We expect more from ourselves." New England, coming off a 1-0 loss to Toronto FC, has never won a game in Canada, going 0-1 in Vancouver and 0-2-4 in Toronto. "Its not a mental block, its how the cards play out sometimes," said New England defender Darius Barnes. "We get to come back here later in the season and its not something we think about." The Impact, now 6-3-2 at home, won for only the second time in their last six games, thanks to Nyassis strike. As play carried on after a free kick, Justin Mapp crossed the ball to the far post where Nyassi volleyed inside the near post for the game-winner. Willis McGahee Jersey. It was his third of the season. The Impact got the early lead on Berniers penalty kick when Nyassi went down in the area after a light shove from Chris Tierney. Referee Fotis Bazakos made Bernier take the kick three times due to irregularlities. The Brossard, Que. native scored each time. "I just think of putting the ball in the back of the net, not the reasons why it was put back," said Bernier after his six goal of the season and fourth from the penalty spot. "You start to think too much you might change the way you shoot." New England equalized in the 44th minute on a wild goal, as Nguyens long blast beat goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts, bounced off the crossbar and went in off Ricketts foot. It was originally ruled an own goal, but later the former Whitecap was credited with his fourth of the season. It was another frustrating match for the Impacts first designated player Marco Di Vaio, who has yet to score in six MLS games. He played a strong match, and Marsch called it his best defensive game to date, but didnt get the ball when he was open. Nyassi was back from serving a one-game suspension for yellow cards. His brother, Sainey Nyassi, started on the New England bench and went in as a substitute in the 79th minute for his first action of the season. It was the first time the Gambian brothers faced each other in MLS. "It feels great playing against my brother, especially tonight when we get the victory," said Sanna Nyassi. "Weve been looking forward to this. We hope to start together when we go to New England (on Aug. 11). New England started a three-game road trip that takes them to Kansas City on Saturday. Notes -- Montreal has seven penalty kick goals this season, four by Bernier and three by Bernardo Corradi, who is out for the season with a knee injury. . . . . . Recent signing Dennis Iapichino made his Impact debut at left back and played 70 minutes. . . Marsch said new signing Alessandro Nesta will make the trip to Houston on Saturday but is not likely to see any action. ' ' ' |
