TAMPA, Fla.
Moncler Womens Jackets UK . --
Colin Kaepernick wasnt interested in rating his performance. The surging San
Francisco 49ers are hitting their stride at the right time, and thats what
really matters to the young quarterback. Kaepernick threw touchdown passes to
Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree, then led a long, clock-exhausting,
fourth-quarter drive that produced a field goal to help the defending NFC
champions pull away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33-14 on Sunday. The
third-year pros inconsistency has been an issue this season, however he
protected the football and hurt the Bucs (4-10) with his feet as well as his arm
in helping the 49ers extend their winning streak to four games. But was it his
best performance? "I dont know," Kaepernick said. "Its another win for us
though." Davis caught a TD pass for the fifth straight game and Michael Crabtree
scored his first TD since returning from injury for San Francisco (10-4).
Frank Gore rushed for 86 yards to go over 1,000 in a season for the seventh
time. "Franks an amazing running back. I feel like hes the most underrated
running back in the NFL. He does everything for our offence," Kaepernick said.
"He runs the ball. If we ask him to block, he does it. If we ask him to catch a
pass, he does it. What he means to this team and what he contributes really cant
be quantified." Gore carried 22 times, hiking his season rushing total to 1,017
yards. "Its a blessing. Ninth year in the league. Every year I hear the
doubters, you know, Can you still do it?" Gore said. "I take it one year at a
time. My coaches still believe in me. This organization still believes in me."
The 10-minute drive Kaepernick led to one of Phil Dawsons four field goals and
steadied the 49ers after Tampa Bay pulled within 20-14. Kendall Hunter put it
well out of reach, scooping up a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and diving 2
yards into the end zone for a touchdown. Meanwhile, the 49ers moved closer to a
playoff berth. They began the day needing a win, plus an Arizona loss combined
with a loss or tie by Dallas or Philadelphia to clinch a spot with two weeks
left in the regular season. "This is when, as a team, you want to get good, this
time of year. Were showing people that were taking steps," Gore said. "We still
havent played our best game yet, and thats the scary part." Tampa Bay closed
within six points on Mike Glennons TD pass to Tim Wright on the first play of
the fourth quarter. The Bucs (4-10) didnt get the ball back until Kaepernick
used 17 plays to move the 49ers 77 yards into position for Dawson to kick a
21-yard field goal that made it 23-14. Kaepernick completed 19 of 29 passes for
203 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. In addition to hurting Tampa Bay
with his feet by running seven times for 39 yards, he threw TD passes of 4 yards
to Crabtree and 52 yards to Davis, who finished with five receptions for 79
yards. Glennon was 18 of 34 for 179 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
But the Bucs only managed 39 yards rushing and were limited to a season-low 183
total net yards. "Its a tough loss. A hard-fought game. Unfortunate the way it
ended," Bucs coach Greg Schiano said. Vincent Jackson scored on an 11-yard
reception to trim a 17-0 deficit to 10 points just before halftime. Glennons
24-yard pass to Wright finished a 10-play, 92-yard drive that gave Tampa Bay
hopes of pulling an upset. But the Niners would have none of it. Kaepernick kept
San Franciscos long fourth-quarter march going with a 12-yard pass to Crabtree
on third-and-12, then scrambled for 10 yards on third-and-6 for a first down at
the Bucs 19. The drive eventually stalled at the 3, where the 49ers settled for
Dawsons kick. Eric Page fielded the ensuing kickoff, started up one side before
heading across the field where he attempted to hand the ball to Russell Shepard
on a reverse. Shepard lost the ball as he slipped to the ground, and Hunter made
a nice to play to scoop it up on the run and score for a 30-14 lead. Crabtrees
return from a torn right Achilles tendon that sidelined him the first 11 games
of the season has given San Franciscos offence, last in the league passing
yardage, a lift. The speedy receiver averaged 18 yards per reception in his
first two games back and had five catches for 45 yards, including his first
quarter TD on Sunday. Kaepernick set up the first score of the game with a
couple of nifty third-down conversions, scrambling for 17 yards on third-and-8
on one and throwing 5 yards to Bruce Miller on third-and-3 on the other.
""Kaepernick really put on his cape. A couple of those conversions ... theres
not a lot of people that can make those kind of plays that he was making with
his feet, his arm and with his head," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Whos able
to do that thats playing in this league? Very few guys." NOTES: Dawson extended

-- The double-point guard backcourt got off to a fast start for the Phoenix Suns
and sent Jeff Hornacek away a winner in his first game as an NBA coach.
Goran Dragic scored 26 points and Eric Bledsoe added 22, leading the Phoenix
Suns to a 104-91 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers Wednesday night. "We
always thought that was an advantage, having those two guys," Hornacek said.
"One guy is not going, we put the other guy in the pick and roll. Obviously,
they both played great." The Suns Miles Plumlee, who scored a total of 13 points
in 55 minutes on the court as a rookie for Indiana last season, had 18 points
and 15 rebounds in his first NBA start. "Things kind of went my way to begin,"
he said, "and the confidence just kept going." P.J. Tucker also scored 18, all
but two in the second half, for Phoenix. Damian Lillard scored 32 points,
including 6 of 12 3-pointers, for the Trail Blazers. LaMarcus Aldridge added 28.
"They came out and they kind of shocked us," Lillard said. "They played at a
real fast pace and their guards finished some tough shots. "They kind of got us
out of position with that pace they played at. It was tough to guard them and it
wasnt a help that we got off to a slow offensive start." Portland fell behind by
16 in the first half and 17 in the second before getting within five with 3:15
left. Lillard made his final 3 of the night, then after a Phoenix turnover
Robin Lopez made one of two free throws to cut Phoenixs lead to 96-91, but
Dragic made a pair of jumpers and the Suns pulled away, scoring the final eight
points of the game. "I got a little worried there when it got down to five,
especially with a young team to see how they react," Hornacek said, "but they
made a couple of nice stops. That is key for us. When we get tops, we are able
to fast break." Dragic and Bledsoe combined for 48 points, 15 assists and 13
rebounds. "He had it going, I had it going and whoever was closest to the ball
was going to get it," Bledsoe said. PPhoenix has just four players from last
seasons 25-57 team.

in the trade that sent Jared Dudley to the Los Angeles Clippers. Plumlee was
part of the Luis Scola trade with Indiana. The Suns used an early 14-2 run to go
up 25-12. A goaltending call on Dragics layup after a Portland turnover made it
29-15. Gerald Greens 17-footer for the first basket of the second quarter gave
Phoenix a 32-16 lead. Lillard finished the quarter with three straight 3s, the
last at the buzzer, in a 9-2 spurt that reduced the Suns advantage to 50-46 at
the break. Portland cut it to 52-51 on Nicolas Batums basket with 9:54 left in
the third quarter, but 3s by Channing Frye and Dragic ignited a 12-0 run, with
all five Suns players scoring, to increase the lead to 64-51 on Bledsoes layup
after Fryes steal. Consecutive baskets by Marcus Morris gave Phoenix its biggest
lead, 81-64, with 1:01 left in the third. Dragic was called for a foul on
Dorell Wrights 3-point attempt with 5.4 seconds left in the quarter. Wright made
all three, so Phoenix was up 81-69 entering the fourth. "All the things that
weve been working on, we had a setback today," Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts
said. "Transition defence, we were slow reacting to that. Their guards did a
good job of penetrating and we gave up too many shots at the end." Frye got the
start because Markieff Morris was suspended for the game for throwing an elbow
at Serge Ibaka in a preseason game. Frye missed all of last season because of an
enlarged heart. He was in foul trouble much of the night and finished with seven
points. Notes: Frye hit the Suns first 3-pointer of the season in the third
quarter after they had missed their first nine. ... Portland will be without
first-round draft pick C.J. McCollum for several weeks after he underwent foot
surgery. The Blazers other first-round pick, Allen Crabbe, did not play. ...
Plumlees career high at Duke was 19 points. ... Portland plays at Denver on
Friday, then plays its home opener Saturday against San Antonio.
