CLEVELAND -- For a team that just snapped a five-game losing streak, the Boston Celtics werent doing much celebrating following Tuesday nights 86-83 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Richard Sherman Womens Jersey . In fact, cranky would best describe the Celtics mood as they packed for a trip home to play Milwaukee on Wednesday. "It was a win, thats all it was for us," Boston coach Doc Rivers said. "It was a good way to end the losing streak, but we have to be better than that. That was awful." Ray Allen scored 22 points and Kevin Garnett added 18 as Boston, which couldnt hold a 16-point lead in the first quarter, avoided its first six-game skid since dropping seven in a row from April 4-15, 2007. The Celtics big lead became a five-point deficit in the third quarter, making the last 12 minutes a possession-by-possession game until Boston finally made enough plays to pull it out. "Hopefully, this was just a little All-Star hangover," Paul Pierce said. "Were making it hard on ourselves." Kyrie Irving returned from a bruised elbow that sidelined him late in the second quarter and led Cleveland with 24 points, 19 in the second half. Irving hit two free throws with 1:21 remaining to give Cleveland an 81-80 lead. After Allen missed a 3-pointer, Garnett tipped Irvings pass, leading to Allens dunk with 48.6 seconds left that put Boston ahead for good. "I got my hand on it and I got the ball to Ray for a layup," Garnett said. "Nothing special about it." Irving said it was simply a good defensive play by the Celtics. "I wasnt careless," Irving said. "They anticipated it and they stole the ball. Nothing big." Irving drove down the lane and missed a layup with 27 seconds remaining. Garnett missed on Bostons next possession, but grabbed his own rebound and was fouled by Antawn Jamison with 3.9 seconds to go. Garnett made both shots and the Cavaliers called a timeout trailing 84-81. Irving was fouled before he could get off a 3-point attempt and made both free throws with 3.5 seconds left. Allen hit two foul shots with 2.4 seconds remaining, and Anthony Parkers 3-pointer at the buzzer hit the front rim. A moment of silence was observed before the game for the victims of Mondays shootings at Chardon High School, located approximately 30 miles from Cleveland. Three students were killed and two were wounded. The Celtics lead the Cavaliers by 2 1/2 games for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Boston lost its final five games before the All-Star break, the last three by 15 or more points. "Weve got to fight through this," Garnett said. "This is going to be a true grind right here, physically and mentally." It appeared the Celtics were headed to a blowout of their own as they dominated the first quarter, shooting 12 for 20 from the field. Their biggest lead was 28-12 on Garnetts bank shot with 19 seconds left in the period. Irving left the game with 3:41 remaining before halftime after taking a charge from Pierce. Irving was taken to the locker room and returned to the bench with about two minutes to go, but didnt play the rest of the half. Cleveland trailed 43-38 at halftime. "I just hit my elbow on the floor," Irving said. "Once I got back (to the locker room) I felt much better. There was nothing funny about it (hitting his funny bone). It was my first almost-injury in the NBA." Irving returned to begin the second half and immediately made his presence felt. His 3-pointer broke a 53-all tie with 5:03 remaining in the quarter. Irving followed with a steal and a breakaway dunk to give Cleveland a five-point lead, its largest of the game. Irving had six points in his last game before the All-Star break, tying his career low, and was 2 for 13 from the field. He scored 34 points and earned MVP honours in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday. "Hes terrific," Rivers said. "His handling skills and moxie in the fourth quarter, I dont know if weve ever seen it from a rookie." Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo was held scoreless for the first time since March 16 last season against Indiana. He had 11 assists, but committed five turnovers. "He was struggling," Rivers said. "I think he got down on himself because of his turnovers." Cleveland finished its franchise record nine-game homestand with a 4-5 record. Celtics centre Jermaine ONeal missed his second straight game with a sprained left wrist. He remained in Boston and will be examined by doctors Wednesday. NOTES: Boston F Brandon Bass, who had missed the past six games with a sore left knee, and centre Chris Wilcox, who didnt play in the final game before the All-Star break because of a strained right adductor, both returned. Bass scored 12 points, while Wilcox had five points and a season-high 11 rebounds. ... Parker returned after missing 12 games because of a lower back strain. He scored one point in 22 minutes. ... The Cavaliers play in New York on Wednesday night. Earl Thomas Jersey . Storm, leading since the first round, began the day with a three-stroke advantage, which he extended to five when he birdied the 12th hole on the Hilversumsche course. But consecutive bogeys at 13 and 14 and a string of pars left him at 1-under 69 and tied with Pablo Larrazabal (64), Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (66) and Scott Jamieson (66) at 12 under. Brandon Browner Jersey . Before we get into this, a disclaimer. It may not be necessary, but if youre not familiar with my work, Im very much into the statistical analysis in sports. Its what I do and as information becomes ever-easier to acquire, it seems like an area that is ripe for growth as I wrote in the foreward for this years Hockey Prospectus, but not everyone is a believer. http://www.seattleseahawksprostore.com/cortez-kennedy-jerseys . 16, 2012. Brown, a second-year business student from Waterloo, Ont., scored five of her teams six goals last weekend, including both game winners, as the fourth-ranked Golden Hawks (5-0-1) remained undefeated in conference play with road wins against Western, 2-1, and Windsor, 4-1. Chris Clemons Jersey . -- Landon Donovan scored in the 39th minute and goalkeeper Josh Saunders stopped a penalty kick in added time as the Los Angeles Galaxy earned their first road win, a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids Saturday night. Russell Wilson Black Jersey .J. Burnett off the 15-day disabled list and the right-hander is slated to start on Saturday night against St.MONZA, Italy -- Lewis Hamilton said his desire to win will be the decisive factor in where he drives next season. Heading into this weekends Italian Grand Prix, Hamilton has been at the centre of speculation that he will leave McLaren at the end of the season and move to Mercedes. Hamilton declined to comment specifically on his future on Thursday but said "I want to win. You always want to win, thats why most drivers exist and thats why teams exist. Its just making sure youre in the right place to do so. "I dont have a deadline, but obviously I need to decide before the end of the season. Im in a great position and I need to focus on preparing for these races. Theres a long way to go before the end of the season. Jenson and I have shown theres good potential in the cars and the team, so thats what Im focusing on." McLaren is second in the constructors championship, having won the past two races. Mercedes trails by 106 points after just one win this season. "Mercedes and Ferrari are on one level in terms of history," Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg said. "To drive the Silver Arrow is something very, very special for any driver, and especially to win with a Silver Arrow." Hamilton had a turbulent time at the Belgian GP last weekend. His race was ended after a wild multi-car accident caused by Lotus driver Romain Grosjean not long after the start, and he also got into trouble for posting sensitive data on Twitter. He is hoping to put all that behind him at Monza. "The head of the PR department asked me to take the picture off, so I did," Hamilton said. "Weve moved on from it and it wont happen again. "Jenson drove fantastically well in the last race and showed we are very competitive, and we should have a similar performance this weekend. Im looking to pick up the pieces and get back to racing." Button said he was "surprised" to read the speculation over Hamiltons future and believes they will still be teammates next season. "Its the best choice for him," Button said. "Sometimes if youve been at the same place for too long it can get a bit stale, but thats not the case here. Its a great team, it always gives us a chance to win, which is what every driver wants." Button won last weekend but still trails leader Fernando Alonso by 63 points in the chammpionship. Earl Thomas Elite Jersey. He admits his chances of another title this season are all but over. "Well hopefully do the same as last season from now on, scoring lots of points and getting a lot of podiums," he said. "There could be a lot of spreading out of points and if you have good back-to-back races you can leapfrog people and challenge. "Its a slim chance but its still a chance. If theres any year you can cut the gap its this year." Last weekends crash saw Alonsos lead cut to 24 points over Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel. Alonso nearly had his head clipped when Grosjeans Lotus flew over him, while Sergio Perez was also forced to retire after the incident. All drivers escaped unscathed but it has again raised the question of safety, with Michael Schumacher in favour of an enclosed cockpit. "That has to be the future," the seven-time champion said. "Just look at how its developed over the years, theres been massive improvements in cockpit safety, the only exposed area is the opening where the head shows, one wrong moment in time could have fatal consequences. "Thats been identified by the FIA. Jean Todt told me there had to be action and theyve initiated action. For 18 months, theyve had a professional group of engineers working on it. No matter what, you wont have 100 per cent satisfaction as you could improve on safety but have a downside on vision, so you have to weigh it up." For causing the accident, Grosjean was banned for one race and will be replaced by Jerome DAmbrosio at Lotus this weekend. "Well obviously its been short notice," DAmbrosio said. "I only found out on Monday really. I havent had time to think about anything really." Alonso and teammate Felipe Massa will be fiercely roared on by the passionate crowd at Ferraris home grand prix. Alonso has won at Monza twice, including in 2010 with Ferrari. "I think Monza is a special win, because for any Ferrari driver its a lot of support that you feel from the tifosi from today until Sunday and you want to give something back to them and the best thing is obviously a race win," Alonso said. "But even if youre not fighting for the championship, winning in Monza will be special anyway, because the podium celebration with all the people on the main straight is nice for anyone." ' ' ' |
