Our guys know that when hes going left
NEW ORLEANS -- Portland was trailing by three points with under five minutes left in the game and Damian Lillard was determined to keep the Trail Blazers losing streak from reaching five games. Lillard nailed a 3-pointer from the corner to tie the game and give Portland the momentum it needed to snap its four-game skid with a 111-103 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night. Lillard finished with 27 points, Nicolas Batum added 22 and Wesley Matthews had 20 for the Trail Blazers, who played without All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge. He was sitting out with a back contusion. Anthony Davis scored a career-high 36 points for New Orleans and Brian Roberts added 19. Tyreke Evans and Eric Gordon added 16 apiece after both missed one game because of illness. Portland was trailing 94-89 with 7:30 to go in the fourth quarter when Lillard scored the games next seven points, and his jumper with 4:15 gave the Trail Blazers the lead for good at 96-94. "Up to that point I hadnt been able to get it going the entire game," Lillard said. "... Coach Stotts just kept deciding to put me in ball screens and in situations where I could attack; especially late in the game. My shot started to fall. I was able to make some plays and get it going a little bit." Wrapping up a five-game road trip, Portland opened the game on a 10-2 run. From there it became a back-and-forth affair that featured 18 lead changes with no team ever having a double-digit advantage. Davis alley-oop dunk with under 3 seconds to go in the half gave the Pelicans a 55-53 lead at the break. "A much-needed win needless to say," Stotts said. "I was proud of the way we competed and kept focused. ... Everybody that was on the floor tonight really had an impact on the game." The game was tied 75-75 with 3:36 to go in the third quarter when the Pelicans went on a 6-0 run to grab an 81-75 lead. They stayed in front until midway through the final quarter, when Lillard scored 16 points to lead Portland to victory. Emotional throughout the game, particularly after his jumper gave Portland the lead for good in the fourth quarter, Lillard said the victory was crucial to his teams post-season hopes. "I mean we had lost four games in a row," he said. "Then we finally were able to close a team out in the fourth quarter and come away with the victory. It was a great feeling." New Orleans coach Monty Williams wasnt surprised by Lillards performance. "You know what hes capable of doing," he said. "Some of the stuff is un-guardable like the last 3-pointer he made. Our guys know that when hes going left late game, you know hes going to raise up. We just didnt execute that well. Weve played against him a number of times the past two years so youve got to know what to expect." Davis scored 30-plus points for the sixth time this season "I didnt care about that," he said. "I only care about winning. We lost, so all of that is up to you guys. We just didnt get the stops. I missed some shots. They (Portland) made some shots. We just have to defend. We cant let them score thirty-something points in one quarter. We especially need to defend." NOTES: Davis received the February Kia Community Assist Award in recognition of his community work around NBA All-Star 2014 festivities. ... Davis tied the New Orleans franchise record for most consecutive games with 28-plus points with his 36 Friday night against the Trail Blazers. Michael Jordan Wizards Jersey . T.J.

"Ive got no idea," said Gibbons after the game when asked what Bautista was thinking. "Its not smart, winning baseball and Im sure he wont do it again."

ESPNs Jim Bowden reported on Thursday afternoon that the team was close to reaching an agreement with the Baltimore Orioles that would see the long-time MLB executive move to the Jays in the role of president. Because Duquette is still under contract as general manager with the Orioles, the Jays would have to pay compensation to their AL East rivals for his services. ESPNs Buster Olney reports that the compensation could be significant with Jeff Hoffmans name being brought up in talks. A right-handed pitcher, Hoffman was the Jays first pick in last summers MLB Amateur Draft, taken ninth overall out of East Carolina. Roch Kubatko, an Orioles reporter for the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, reports that the compensation for Duquette could be more substantial than initially expected as a trade-off for the Orioles not filing a tampering claim against the Blue Jays over their courtship of Duquette.dddddddddddd Last week, Orioles owner Peter Angelos had told the Baltimore Sun that there was nothing to report on the negotiations and that he expected Duquette to remain in his role with the club. Duquette would succeed current Blue Jays president and CEO, Paul Beeston. Beeston, 69, is in his second stint as the teams lead executive. In 1997, Beeston left the role after eight seasons and two World Series titles in 1992 and 1993 to become the president of Major League Baseball. He returned to the Jays in 2008 after the departure of Paul Godfrey. A former GM of both the Montreal Expos and Boston Red Sox, Duquette has been with the Orioles since 2011. Under Duquette, the Orioles have twice made the playoffs, including last season when the team won the American League East before bowing out of the postseason in the ALCS against the Kansas City Royals. wholesale jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
