Newsroom GuidelinesNews TipsContact UsReport an Error The Clippers, undermanned, didn’t back down, using a 24-6 run over seven minutes in the third quarter to take a six-point lead. Rivers scored seven straight in that stretch to put the Clippers ahead, giving them a lead they’d push to eight in the fourth quarter.Jordan was terrific, scoring 18 and grabbing 20 rebounds, dueling with Gasol to the final buzzer.But one of the old “Grit ’n Grind” stalwarts, Tony Allen, scored four points in a burst that allowed Memphis to close within one with three minutes to play. But instead of coughing up a fourth-quarter lead like they did against Jamal Crawford answered with a 3 and pretty feed to Jordan for a bucket to get some distance.Jordan’s basket came immediately after Gasol drew a questionable foul, with Jordan covering his mouth to keep from saying anything that could lead to a fourth-quarter technical.He didn’t tempt the gods — and they rewarded the Clippers.With the shot clock winding down and a possession going nowhere, the normally savvy Mike Conley fouled Austin Rivers while he wildly fired up a 3. He made each of the free throws, sealing the win.The win guarantees the Clippers at least a season split with the Grizzlies (they meet for the fourth time in March), something that can be extremely helpful in the event the teams are tied at the end of the season.And if the basketball gods are paying attention, that just might happen. With around half a season left and these two teams bunched in the Western Conference series, it’s plausible Wednesday’s 115-106 Clipper win at Staples Center could be a playoff preview.With Blake Griffin and Chris Paul still sidelined, Austin Rivers scored a season-high 28 points, tying season highs with seven assists and four rebounds. After losing six in a row, the Clippers have won two straight.If you needed a reminder as to why the Grizzlies could maybe give the Clippers fits, Memphis showed why it’s one of the toughest teams in the West.Marc Gasol, one of the best centers in the NBA, does one of the things that gives DeAndre Jordan, one of the best centers in the NBA, trouble. Gasol’s face-the-basket game has now stretched beyond the three-point line, pulling Jordan further away from the rim than he’d like.Gasol’s move to the perimeter mirrors Memphis’ improvement from deep. The Grizzlies hit 11 3’s, including two from Gasol, as their long-range touch helped them build a 13-point lead. 
LOS ANGELES >> Doc Rivers is a believer in the basketball gods.They’re the ones who decide close games where one team plays harder than the other, the ones who decided whether the shots that are right on target bounce in or rattle out and the ones who control the key whistles.And, if they have a sense for the dramatic, they’ll be the ones that will make sure the Clippers and Grizzlies find themselves doing this again in the playoffs.They’ve met twice before in the postseason, each team holding on to a hard-fought series win, and the basketball gods, they might want to see that tie get broken.
DENVER >> Dodgers manager Don Mattingly describes his clubhouse as “different.”He wouldn’t say how, offering only that “it’s just different from any team I’ve been around,” though a quick glance at the surface offers plenty in the way of different.The Dodgers have the highest payroll in baseball history — in excess of $240 million — including a bench and a disabled list making more money than entire teams combined. They have outfielders who are accustomed to starring roles, now reduced to pinch hitting. The de facto team leader is a 26-year-old pitcher who spends his off-seasons at an African orphanage.On top of all this, on Monday Mattingly had two shouting superstars who needed to be separated in the dugout. Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig were on their best behavior one day later, at least when the cameras were rolling. Puig hit his first home run since July 31, a two-run home run in the ninth inning off LaTroy Hawkins. After an extended dry spell that lasted all of August and the beginning of September, Puig has nine hits in his past five games.Haren (13-11) got closer to reaching 180 innings for the season. If he pitches six innings in his next start Sunday in Chicago, he will have earned a $10 million player option for next season.That was about the only positive he could take from the defeat.The veteran right-hander entered the game with a 3-0 record and 0.69 earned-run average over his previous four starts, but ran out of luck Tuesday. Corey Dickerson’s two-run home run, a towering shot to left field, gave the Rockies a 5-0 lead in the fourth inning.“I allowed five baserunners and all five scored,” he said. “That’s a worst-case scenario. … Everything that could have went wrong went wrong.” Allowing sky-scraping home runs and doubles to the gap are forgivable sins at Coors Field. Haren’s done it before Tuesday and, if he reaches 180 innings, he’ll probably get a chance to do it again next year.Less forgivable was the Dodgers’ failure hit in the clutch. Despite out-hitting their opponent 16 to 9, the Dodgers left 10 runners on base.Hanley Ramirez was scratched prior to the game with a right elbow strain, but he was able to pinch hit with two runners on base in the fifth inning. Rockies pitcher Tommy Kahnle struck out Ramirez, allowed an infield single to Dee Gordon, then struck out Puig with the bases loaded to end the inning.For the season, the Dodgers are hitting .183 with the bases loaded.Ramirez seems doubtful to be available to play in the field today, when the Dodgers close out the three-game series.“We always worry about his shoulder a little bit, the A/C (joint),” Mattingly said. “That’s always a little back and forth, but today he said he felt something (Monday) on a throw and didn’t think much about it. Today it was fairly sore and he couldn’t get it going.”Ramirez’s health is another uncertainty Mattingly has had to live with. The elbow joins an already long list of injuries that only make it harder to fill out a lineup card. It could get easier if the San Francsico Giants start losing.They did not cooperate Tuesday, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1. The Dodgers’ magic number to clinch the division remained stuck at nine, their lead in the National League West reduced to three games. Tuesday, the Dodgers lost to the worst team in the National League. The Colorado Rockies jumped on Dan Haren for five runs in five innings and won 10-4.When the final score matches the expectations, and the tempers match the egos, the narratives come naturally. When they do not, “different” seems as appropriate as it does ambiguous. Tuesday was one of those days. As they were crushed on the scoreboard, the Dodgers were calm in the dugout.“It’s been a good teaching year,” Mattingly said. “It’s a good year for learning for me. I think they’re teaching me. I’m learning a lot.”What, then, to take from Tuesday?

The 2011 American League MVP told reporters a couple of weeks ago in Houston he believes players are going unsigned because there aren’t enough teams trying to win.”The biggest detriment to our game right now is the non-competitiveness of two-thirds of the league,” he said, via the Houston Chronicle. “I think that’s why you’re seeing free agents not get signed.”Verlander on #MLB free agency: “The biggest detriment to our game right now is the non-competitiveness of two-thirds of the league.

Caption: Lily May with the English women’s amateur trophy (copyright Leaderboard Photography). 1 Aug 2018 Women and Girls’ Golf Week: Rising star Lily May Humphreys on making her way in golf Lily May Humphreys, from Stoke by Nayland Golf Club, won England Golf’s Rising Star Award – and no wonder! She won her first national championship when she was 13 and her second at 14. At 15 she won English, British and European titles – among others. This year, at 16, she has won again and played for GB&I in the Curtis Cup. Her story begins at Topgolf, where she fell in love with the game, before becoming involved in Essex and England coaching.How did you start golf?My brother took me to Topgolf when I was 10 and I loved it. Richard, the coach, was great fun and he’s been my coach ever since. If I hadn’t gone there I would never have known that golf would become my sport.What do you love about golf?You meet so many unique people from all around the world and make special friendships.When did you join a club and get your first handicap?When I was ten. I did three cards with the junior organiser and got a club handicap of 44. I was a five handicap at 11.Do you remember your first competition?I played in my club monthly medal and I took 11 shots to get out of brambles because no one told me I could take a drop!It clearly didn’t put you off! What do you enjoy about competition?I love competing and trying to get the best score I can. When the round is finished I socialise and have fun with the other competitors.How much do you practice?Most days during the winter and between travelling and competitions during the season. I usually practice my short game and putting for a couple of hours then go on the range to practice my long game. If a competition is coming up I will play holes on the course.What’s the best part of your game?Putting and short gameWhat’s your best golfing moment so far?I’ve had lots but probably winning the Helen Holm (Scottish open) as that more or less guaranteed my place in the Curtis Cup teamWorst golfing moment so far?When a girl deliberately got me DQ in a competitionWho has encouraged/helped you – and in what way?My Dad and Amelia Williamson (a fellow England squad player). My Dad because he spends all his time taking me to competitions and training. Amelia because she took me under her wing when I first went abroad with the England girls’ team and she’s been my best friend and supported me ever since.How does your England training help?There is a great support network as well as coaching, physio, psychology and strength and conditioning. I get help with arranging playing schedules and advice on what competitions to play in.How special is it to play for your country?It is an honour and makes me and my family really proud. Playing for England has given me so many opportunities to play in top competitions around the worldHow good do you want to be?I want to be the best I can be and see where that takes me.What are your interests outside golf?When I’m not playing or competing I like to relax at home with my cat and my family. I also catch up with my friends that I don’t see so much when I’m away travellingHave you encouraged more girls to get into golf?I was an ambassador for Girls Golf Rocks when it was first trialed in Essex. It was really fun and lots of girls who had never played before came along and had a really good time. Many of the girls did continue to get coaching and join golf clubs.Your advice for would-be golfers?Just give it a try and you may be surprised at how much fun you can have and you may find out that you have a talent for it. That’s how I started and I can’t imagine what I would be doing now if I hadn’t got into golf.• Inspired by Lily May to Get into Golf?

This sponsorship will run until the end of 2020 with SP to hold the naming rights to the team.This year is SP’s third year of sponsorship to the Hunters.The cheque presentation was done today at the SP Brew kettle in Port Moresby and was witnessed by representatives from the PNG Rugby Football League (PNGRFL), Hunters coaching staff and management and other stakeholders.Managing Director for SP, Stan Joyce said the relationship between SP and rugby league in the country was not new and was one that had evolved over the years.“The Hunters program so far has brought immense success. There were some who doubted this at first but the team has been consistent and performed.“After a review, the board made a decision to reward the success of the Hunters and extend the sponsorship.“The achievements of the Hunters are a turning corner for rugby league in the country and we have every confidence in the team to achieve greatness,” said Joyce.Chairman of the PNGRFL, Sandis Tsaka thanked SP Brewery saying the SP Hunters program is an integral part of the development of rugby league in PNG and SP’s continued sponsorship ensured this program continues running.“We wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of SP Brewery, the government and other sponsors who make the success of the Hunters program possible,” said Tsaka.The breakup of SP Brewery’s sponsorship:• K500, 000 for the signing fee• K1.6 million in 2017 (from which there is a 10% increment each year after that)• K1.8 million in 2018• K1.9 million in 2019• K2.1 million in 2020
