victory didnt have coach Tom Thibodeau smiling. "You never want to feel good in
this league," he said "When you start feeling good, well, you know what
happens." But even Thibodeau had to admit that the work of Rose and Deng to
close out a game felt familiar. "They have a great chemistry, know how to read
things," he said. "Derrick showed great patience. His shot wasnt falling early,
but he was able to make things happen down the stretch." For most of the game,
it appeared Chicago was in control. Then Durant led a comeback His 12-foot
jumper with 5:16 remaining in the third quarter gave him eight points in the
half and trimmed Chicagos lead to 64-62. A layup by Steven Adams with 9:46 to
play put the Thunder ahead 78-76, Oklahoma Citys first lead since 9-8 with more
than 7 minutes left in the first quarter. "I thought we did a good job trusting
the system," Durant said. "We fought back to take the lead. But they did a great
job of closing it out." NOTES: The Thunder were missing Russell Westbrook, and
Serge Ibaka did not play. Kirk Hinrich and Joakim Noah did not play for the

Lakers signed Marshall out of the D-League on Friday before their home game
against Minnesota.The Calgary Stampeders have signed quarterbacks Drew Tate and
Bo Levi Mitchell to one-year contract extensions with an option for a second
year on Tuesday. Tate was going into his option year while Mitchell had one year
remaining on his deal and is now signed through 2016. Both are expected to
battle for the starters role this season. "Drew and Bo are both very talented
quarterbacks who have enjoyed great success as members of the Stampeders," said
Stampeders general manager John Hufnagel. "They work extremely well together and
their decision to sign extensions with the Stampeders gives us great long-term
stability at what is obviously a key position." Tate has been with the
Stampeders since 2009 and became the starter in Week 17 of the 2011 season.
Injuries have limited him to eight regular-season and two playoff starts since
that time but he has been very productive when healthy, posting a 5-0 record
when he plays the entire game. He has completed 259 or 381 passes during his
Stamps career (a 68.0 per cent completion rate, the highest total in franchise
history) for 3,270 yards, 24 touchdowns and just nine interceptions. The
29-year-oold University of Iowa product has also accumulated 466 yards and 13
touchdowns on the ground as a Stamp.

be with the Stampeders and to represent the white horse," said Tate. "Calgary is
a special place and, along with my teammates, I cant wait to start up the good
fight again and chase our dream of being Grey Cup champs." Mitchell, 23, has
been with the Stampeders for two seasons and posted a 3-0 record when called
upon as a starter in 2013. He completed 94 of 135 passes last season for 1,156
yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. He earned the leagues
offensive-player-of-the-week award in Week 5 as he completed 29 of 33 passes for
376 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Winnipeg. In two seasons with the
Red and White, Mitchell has 1,324 yards and 12 touchdowns as a passer as well as
218 yards and seven scores on the ground. "Ive loved my time in Calgary and Im
excited about the opportunity to stay here," said Mitchell. "The Stamps have a
great organization, a great coaching staff and a great group of players and this
is definitely the place I want to be."
