DENVER -- Randy Foye made a go-ahead 3-pointer in the waning moments and then
helped it stand with his last-second defence.
Eric Wood Bills Jersey . Foye connected on
his fifth 3-pointer of the game with 1:11 left, and the Denver Nuggets hung on
to beat the Dallas Mavericks 102-100 on Saturday night. "It was huge," Foye
said. "I work extremely hard on my shot, so 5 for 12, 1 for 12, it doesnt
matter, just got to continue to shoot the ball with confidence." Ty Lawson
scored 20 points to lead the Nuggets, who won their fifth straight at home while
ending Dallas four-game winning streak. Kenneth Faried had 18 points and 14
rebounds, and Foye finished with 17 points. Dirk Nowitzki had 27 points but,
with Foye contesting it, missed a shot at the end that would have sent the game
into overtime. "When I saw him with the ball, I thought, I know hes going to hit
me and I know hes going to fadeaway," Foye said. "I have no chance to block the
shot, so dont let him get comfortable. When he bumped me a little bit, I nudged
him back." Nowitzkis shot ended up hitting off the rim. "We ran a good play,"
Nowitzki said. "I thought Vince (Carter) was halfway open, decided not to shoot.
Then we ran a little pick and roll and the clock was going down and I had to
heave one. It was still a decent look to tie it, but it just didnt go in. "Ive
got to be a little better down the stretch. I missed my last two or three
shots." Monta Ellis added 25 points and Carter had 16 for the Mavericks, who
were without coach Rick Carlisle for most of the game after he drew two
technical fouls in succession and was ejected by referee Tony Brothers with 5:14
remaining in the second quarter. Carlisle was initially upset that officials
didnt send Nowitzki to the free throw line, ruling the Mavericks forward was in
the act of passing, not shooting, when he was fouled by Wilson Chandler. Moments
later, Ellis took a hard foul from Foye and was sent to the line, but Carlisle
apparently was upset the foul wasnt considered flagrant and let Brothers know
it, leading to his ejection. "I thought the foul was excessive," Carlisle said.
"I thought he fouled him and he came down on him extra hard. Im going to stand
up for my players." Assistant coach Monte Mathis took over on the bench for
Carlisle. The Mavericks trailed by as many as 17 points early in the game and
were down 65-53 at the half. But they fought back to 84-78 with 19 seconds
remaining in the third quarter on a 3-pointer by Carter, his third 3-pointer in
the period. Carter hit another 3-pointer, pulling Dallas within 86-85 with 10:13
left to play. Faried answered with a short jumper but Dallas got consecutive
baskets from DeJuan Blair and Ellis to go in front 89-88, its first lead since
midway through the first quarter. The game remained tight in the final minutes,
with the teams alternately taking the lead. Dallas put together a 6-0 run that
included consecutive jumpers by Nowitzki that put the Mavs up 100-98 with 2:02
remaining. That set the stage for Foyes go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:11 left to
play as the Nuggets regained the lead 101-100. After Nowitzki missed a jumper,
Faried rebounded and was fouled by Blair, making one of the two free throws with
14.7 seconds left. Nowitzki missed a long jumper in the final seconds as the
Nuggets hung on. "Were getting them, thats all that matters, as long were
getting the wins," Faried said. "Im excited. The team is excited and the coach
is excited." Dallas, a 103-93 winner over Utah the night before, missed a chance
to sweep a back-to-back for the first time this season. Denver improved to 49-8
since the start of the 2009-10 season when facing a team playing the second game
of a back to back in the Mile High City. NOTES: The Nuggets Andre Miller
registered his 7,988th assist in the NBA on an alley-oop pass that Chandler
converted into a dunk midway through the second quarter, surpassing
Rod Strickland for ninth all time. ... Ellis has scored at least 18 points in
each of the Mavericks first 14 games. ... Chandler has scored 10 or more points
in four of his first six games since returning from a hamstring injury that
sidelined him for the first two weeks of the season. ... Faried recorded his
sixth double double of the season and fifth in his past seven games. ... Dallas
has gone 4-6 in its past 10 games in Denver.
Aaron Williams Jersey . The Cleveland
Indians, Tampa Bay Rays, and Texas Rangers all won on Sunday meaning the Rangers
will host the Rays in a play-in game on Monday.
Kyle Williams Bills Jersey . With Parker
having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring
as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on
Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration for Parker and a
talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain two years ago and
took bronze in 2005.

. -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the
Trail Blazers against the Kings.FONTANA, Calif. - James Hinchcliffe will return
to Andretti Autosport in 2014 with sponsorship from United Fiber & Data. The
team, meanwhile, will switch from Chevrolet to Honda. The manufacturer change to
Honda announced before Saturday nights season finale at Auto Club Speedway had
been expected after rival Chip Ganassi said two weeks ago he was moving to
Chevrolet. The re-signing of Hinchcliffe went down to the wire. Not only did
Andretti need a new primary sponsor to replace GoDaddy, but Hinchcliffe had been
in discussions with Ganassi on a multi-series program. Hinchcliffes hope had
been that the Ganassi deal would eventually lead him to the teams No. 10 car
currently driven by Dario Franchitti. But without sponsorship needed to fund the
Ganassi program, Hinchcliffes smart play was a return to Andretti, where hes
become a breakout star for the series. "The last two years have been tremendous
and weve spoken so much about the chemistry and the team, and being able to keep
the band together is huge," Hinchcliffe said. The Oakville, Ont., native was
hired by Andretti following Dan Wheldons death in a crash in the 2011 season
finale. Wheldon had been scheduled to replace Danica Patrick in the Andretti
ride, and team owner Michael Andretti then turned to Hinchcliffe, who was
looking for a ride following the unexpected closure of Newman-Haas Racing.
Instantly popular among fans off the track, Hinchcliffe clicked immediately with
new teammates Marco Andretti and Ryan Hunter-Reay. He hit his stride this
season, where he won his first career IndyCar race in the St. Pete
season-opener, and later added wins at Brazil and Iowa. But the indecision of
sponsor GoDaddy made Hinchcliffes future at Andretti uncertain. Instead, Michael
Andretti grabbed United Fiber & Data for the No. 27 car. The tech company,
which was founded by three members of the multi-platinum rock band LIVE and
their Think Loud Development company, will also be an associate sponsor for
Marco Andretti and HHunter-Reay, and the primary sponsor for Pro Mazda Champion
Matthew Brabham as he moves to Indy Lights next season for Andretti.
Andre Reed Bills Jersey. UFD director Bill
Hynes said Hinchcliffe will be an outstanding spokesman for its tech company.
"We saw how great James was with his prior sponsor, how great he was as a brand
ambassador, and we almost want to piggyback to that," said Hynes. "We just
really love the IndyCar product, we really think its great platform for us and
we really think the face for UFD should be (Hinchcliffe)." The move to Honda was
expected following Ganassis decision to join Roger Penske in the Chevrolet
ranks. It put the top three IndyCar organizations with the same manufacturer,
and a switch to Honda made sense for Andretti. It means hell be the top team and
not fighting with two others for attention or resources. "Its like being back
home," Andretti said. "I have no doubt that together we will see great success."
Andretti won three series championships with Honda in 2004, 2005 and 2007, and
the Indianapolis 500 in 2005 and 2007. Of Andretti Autosports 48 IndyCar wins,
39 were with Honda. "As many of you will remember, the Andretti organization
played a major role in Hondas success during the previous era of manufacturer
competition in Indy car racing, and were looking forward to adding more
victories and championships to an already impressive total," said Art St. Cyr,
President, Honda Performance Development. In its two seasons with Chevrolet,
Andretti won the championship last season with Hunter-Reay and nine races. "We
would like to thank the Andretti Autosport drivers for their on-track
achievements that contributed to Chevrolet clinching the 2012 manufacturers
championship," said Jim Campbell, U.S. Vice-President Performance Vehicles and
Motorsports. "They are all true professionals on and off the track. We wish them
well and look forward to spirited competition in the future."
