December 12, 2016

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Russell Westbrook's triple-double streak ended at seven games, but he scored 23 of his 37 points in the second half to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Boston Celtics 99-96 on Sunday night.

Westbrook had 12 rebounds, but just six assists. His triple-double run was the longest since Michael Jordan had seven straight in 1989. The NBA record is nine in a row by Philadelphia's Wilt Chamberlain in March 1968.

Steven Adams scored 16 points on 7-for-8 shooting and Enes Kanter added 14 points for the Thunder, who have won seven of eight. Oklahoma City got away with making just 14 of 27 free throws.

Al Horford scored 19 points, and Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley each added 18 for the Celtics.

WARRIORS 116, TIMBERWOLVES 108

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Klay Thompson scored 30 points and Golden State roared back to beat Minnesota and avoid its first set of consecutive regular-season losses since 2015.

Stephen Curry had 22 points and nine assists, and the Warriors extended their NBA-record streak to 111 regular-season games without losing two in a row. They trailed by 10 to start the fourth quarter, but opened the period with a 25-4 avalanche to turn the tide.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 25 points and 18 rebounds, and Andrew Wiggins scored 25 for the Timberwolves (6-18), who lost their fourth straight game.

Kevin Durant had 22 points on 6-for-21 shooting, and Draymond Green scored 18 for Golden State.

Zach LaVine scored 25 points and hit five 3s for the Wolves.

The Warriors were coming off a 21-point loss Saturday to the Grizzlies and were playing their fourth game in five nights.

76ERS 97, PISTONS 79

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - Robert Covington had 16 points and Philadelphia beat Detroit for its second consecutive road victory after going nearly a year without one.

Ersan Ilyasova added 15 points for the 76ers, who had matched a franchise record by losing 23 straight games away from home before beating New Orleans last Thursday night. That was Philadelphia's first road win since Jan. 20 last season at Orlando.

Jahlil Okafor had 14 points and nine rebounds, and T.J. McConnell added 12 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists for the 76ers (6-18), who snapped a four-game losing streak against the Pistons and improved to 2-7 on the road this season.

Marcus Morris scored 28 points and Andre Drummond finished with 14 points and 14 rebounds for Detroit.

PELICANS 120, SUNS 119, OT

PHOENIX (AP) - Tim Frazier got his first career triple-double and New Orleans rallied from a 15-point second-half deficit to beat Phoenix in overtime, snapping a five-game losing streak.

The victory came despite a 4-for-17 shooting performance by NBA scoring leader Anthony Davis. He finished with 14 points, 16 below his average, but grabbed 12 rebounds.

Eric Bledsoe scored 32 for the Suns. Tyson Chandler added 14 points and 21 rebounds, both season highs.

Frazier, a third-year guard out of Penn State, had 14 points, a career-high 11 rebounds and 11 assists. He made one of two free throws with 3.6 seconds left to put the Pelicans up 120-116.

Jrue Holiday hit four free throws in the final 14.3 seconds and scored 23 points.

KNICKS 118, LAKERS 112

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kristaps Porzingis had 26 points and 12 rebounds, Derrick Rose scored 25 in his return from injury and New York held off Los Angeles for its sixth win in seven games.

Brandon Jennings scored 15 of his season high-tying 19 points in the fourth quarter as the Knicks moved a season-best four games over .500 (14-10) with a dynamic effort in the final minutes, capped by Rose's jumper with 19.4 seconds left.

Lou Williams scored 24 points in his latest big game off the bench for the sliding Lakers, who lost their sixth straight despite the return of D'Angelo Russell and Nick Young.

Rose went 12 for 16 after missing two games with a back injury. Porzingis has been feeling discomfort in his right knee, but the Latvian big man shook it off and blocked seven shots, tying his career high.

Monday’s six-pack

Six most popular picks in Week 14 of the Westgate SuperContest:

6) Green Bay Packers +2.5 (408)- W

5) Minnesota Vikings -3 (420)- W

4) Tampa Bay Buccaneers -2.5 (440)- W

3) Washington Redskins -1 (481)- W

2) Pittsburgh Steelers -1.5 (558)- W

1) Baltimore Ravens +7 (577)

Strong week for popular opinion

Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up an NFL Sunday…..

Titans 13, Broncos 10— Tennessee has to be excited; they’re 7-6, tied for first in AFC South and they have the Rams’ #1 draft pick next year, so they’ll clean up next April and get even better. This was an ugly game; Titans scored 10 points on first two possessions, then held on for the win despite gaining only 178 yards the rest of the game. Mariota was 6-20/88 passing, but his team won. Five of last six Denver games stayed under the total.

Panthers 28, Chargers 16— San Diego turned ball over five times (-4). I have a question: Why can’t the Chargers just stay in San Diego and play in Qualcomm? Why is it better for them to move to LA and be a second rate tenant in a new ballpark? Who will go to their games there? At least in San Diego they have a whole city behind them, buying their gear, Maybe I’m an idiot, but seems to me every NFL team doesn’t need a brand-new stadium.

Texans 22, Colts 17— Houston is tied for first with Titans in AFC South; they ran ball for 185 yards, had 3 takeaways (+2), kicked five FGs- usually when a team scores one TD and kicks five FGs, they lose. Colts are 1-4-1 vs spread this year in game following a win; some teams cannot stand prosperity. This is only second time Texans have won in Indy (2-13). Under is 5-2 in last seven Houston games, 4-0 in Colts’ last four home games.

Bengals 23, Browns 10— I’m still amazed that an NFL franchise is worth roughly $1B, give or take, and the Browns are being run by Jonah Hill’s character from Moneyball. Seriously, why would you have a guy who spent most of the last 15 years as a baseball executive run your NFL team? It makes zero bleeping sense. Cleveland is 1-5-1 vs spread as a home underdog, losing home games by 5-20-3-25-15-14-13 points

Steelers 27, Bills 20— Pittsburgh ran ball for 240 yards in the snow, amidst rumors that Rex Ryan is going to get fired. If Ryan and Jeff Fisher both get fired, then maybe their teams can hire coaches who actually care about offense and the league will put out a better product. Pittsburgh has now won/covered its last four games.

Non-football observation: if you’re going to be outside in a snowstorm for 3.5 hours, put on a goddamn coat. Rex Ryan wore same clothes for this game he wore in the LA Coliseum when the Bills played there. Even his brother wore a parka.

Dolphins 26, Cardinals 23— Game was played in a monsoon; Arizona’s kicker had an awful day, but did make a 56-yard FG. Miami kicked FG on last play to win, but they lost QB Tannehill to an ACL injury, so looks like Matt Moore gets to run the ball club the rest of the way- their #3 QB is former Western Kentucky QB Doughty. Arizona needs to draft a QB next spring; Carson Palmer is getting up there in years.

NFC West went 0-4 Sunday, turning ball over 15 times and 49ers didn’t have any turnovers.

Lions 20, Bears 17— Detroit is now 9-4 despite trailing in 4th quarter in 12 of 13 games. You know it might be the Lions’ year when Stafford throws a pick-6 to give Chicago a 17-13 lead with 7:07 left, but Detroit drives back down field to score game-winning TD with 3:17 left. Lions are 6-1 at home with four wins by exactly three points.

Pretty sure I’m going to be in Las Vegas when the NFL schedule comes out for 2017; first thing I’m going to do is bet the under on the Lions’ win total for next year.

Vikings 25, Jaguars 16— Minnesota ran ball 29 times for 85 yards (28 for 70 if you take out one Bradford scramble for 15 yards); they scored only 16 points on five red zone drives, but won anyway. Jaguars are 0-6 at home, have lost eight games in a row (2-6 vs spread). Vikings had been 2-6 this season when they didn’t score a TD on defense/special teams, now they’re 3-6.

Mike Zimmer coached this game with his right eye totally covered by tape; he is one tough human. He wore sunglasses when Minnesota had the ball, but took them off so he could read his defensive call charts when Jaguars had the ball. Lot of admiration for coach Zimmer.

Bucs 16, Saints 11— Sean Payton was yukking it up two weeks ago when he ran the score up on the sorry Rams, but since then his team scored a total of 24 points in losses to Detroit, Tampa Bay. New Orleans is 5-8 and going nowhere with an aging QB; they’re 0-6 when they score less than 25 points. Under is 5-2 in Saints’ last seven games, 2-0-1 in Bucs’ last three.

Tampa Bay has won five games in a row and is looking smart for drafting Jameis Winston.

Redskins 27, Eagles 22— Washington won last five meetings with Philly, with average total in last six series games, 53.8; Eagles scored one offensive TD on 17 drives in two games with Redskins this year. Over is 11-2 in Washington games this season.

Jets 23, 49ers 17 OT— Niners snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, blowing a 17-3 halftime lead, losing their 12th straight game. Bryce Petty gets his first NFL win. Weird that SF was favored in its last two games, despite being an awful team.

I’m wondering if the networks stopped showing Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the National Anthem because he said he didn’t vote on Election Day. Just curious, thats all.

Packers 38, Seahawks 10— Seattle has now lost their last seven visits here; they’re 1-4-1 this season when scoring less than 26 points. Somehow, Green Bay’s defense has revived itself, allowing 36 points in last three games, after allowing 153 points in the four games before that- they had six takeaways in this game. Seattle is 2-4-1 on the road and they’ve fallen out of the #2 slot in the NFC, so they might be going on the road in the second week of the playoffs.

Falcons 42, Rams 14— Observations from this game and with apologies to the Falcons, I’ve got nothing to say about them— picked them last week and they lost.

— Rams should fire their head coach today, just to save everyone three more weeks of aggravation.

— Last three weeks: L21-49, L10-26, L14-42. Unacceptable results. Sometimes divorce is a good thing— just ask my ex-wife (its a joke!!!)

— The next coach should a) be an offensive guru or b) hire an offensive guru to be OC and yes, I’m thinking of Norv Turner, if we go the OC way.

— Find the best offensive line coach in America and pay him a boatload of cash to come to LA.

— They can keep Gregg Williams and John Fassel; defense/special teams ain’t the problem.

— Here are some W-L records of how QBs did their rookie year: Elway 4-6, PManning 3-13, EManning 1-6, Aikman 0-11, Stafford 2-8, Marino 7-2. Playing QB in the NFL is a hard job.

— I pay more money than I should for DirecTV, for one reason; to watch NFL games on Sundays, specifically the Rams. 13 consecutive non-winning seasons is getting my money’s worth.

Giants 10, Cowboys 7— Dak Prescott grew up in Louisiana; wonder if he ever played in a frigid night game before? Dallas is 11-2 with two losses to the Giants by total of four points. If playoffs started tomorrow, NFC Wild Card game would be Bucs @ Giants. AFC would be either Miami/Denver @ Oakland. Last five Giant games stayed under the total.

Monday's Tip Sheet
December 12, 2016

The road teams fared well on Sunday in the NBA, posting a 4-1 straight-up and 3-1 record against the spread. The 76ers pulled off the biggest upset by knocking off the Pistons as 12-point road underdogs, 97-79 to pick up their second straight away victory following a 23-game road skid. The Warriors bounced back from Saturday’s blowout loss at Memphis by beating Minnesota last night, 116-108, but failed to cash as 10-point favorites.

Game of the Night – Blazers at Clippers (-9 ½, 217) – 10:35 PM EST

Portland knocked Los Angeles out of the opening round of the playoffs last season, as both Chris Paul and Blake Griffin suffered injuries to leave the Clippers depleted. The Clippers rebounded in the first two matchups with the Clippers this season by winning each time, including a 111-80 blowout at Staples Center on November 9 to cash as 11-point favorites. However, the Blazers played with no rest that night, as they have put together an 0-5 SU/ATS record on the second of back-to-backs this season.

The Blazers (12-13 SU, 9-16 ATS) will be playing with one day of rest tonight after blowing a 20-point lead in a 118-111 setback at Indiana on Saturday. The offense dried up in the fourth quarter as Indiana outscored Portland, 28-13, even though the dynamic backcourt of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum combined for 67 points. Portland plays the final contest of a five-game road swing tonight after losing the last three games, including defeats at Milwaukee and Memphis.

The Clippers (17-7 SU, 13-11 ATS) ended a brief two-game skid by blasting the Pelicans on Saturday night, 133-105 as 14 ½-point favorites. Griffin rested for Los Angeles in that blowout, as the Clippers scored at least 35 points in three of four quarters. The Clippers knocked down 17 three-pointers and shot a scorching 57% from the floor, while Paul put up the rare 20-point, 20-assist performance.

Quick Turnaround

The only team playing with no rest tonight is the Lakers (10-16 SU, 11-14-1 ATS), coming off a 118-112 home setback to the Knicks on Sunday. Los Angeles has dropped six consecutive games as the Lakers make the short trip north to Sacramento. The Lakers own a 2-3 SU/ATS mark with no rest, while allowing at least 116 points three times on the second of a back-to-back.

The Kings (8-15 SU, 12-10-1 ATS) have dropped two in a row, while looking to avenge a 101-91 home setback to the Lakers last month. In that loss, Sacramento jumped out to a 14-point lead after one quarter, but the Lakers outscored the Kings in the final quarter, 31-18 to grab the win and cover as 5 ½-point underdogs.

Finding its Pace

Indiana (12-12 SU, 10-14 ATS) suffered through plenty of injuries through the first month of the season, but is finally returning to health. The Pacers erased a 20-point deficit in Saturday’s home victory over the Blazers, as Indiana looks to improve on a 2-9 record this season off a win. Indiana welcomes in Charlotte (14-10 SU, 12-11-1 ATS) tonight as the Hornets are coming off a 116-105 setback at Cleveland on Saturday to fall to 6-4 on the road.

In the last meeting between these teams in Charlotte in November, the Hornets couldn’t miss early by posting 43 first quarter points in a 122-100 victory over the Pacers as three-point favorites. Charlotte has owned Indiana recently by capturing each of the past four matchups, including a pair of underdog victories at Bankers Life Fieldhouse last season.

Runaway Raptors

Toronto (16-7 SU, 16-6-1 ATS) is finding its groove right now by winning eight of its last nine games to extend its advantage in the Atlantic division over New York to 2 ½ games. The Raptors knocked off the Celtics on Friday, 101-94 as Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan combined for 58 points. Toronto hosts Milwaukee (11-11 SU, 10-12 ATS) tonight at Air Canada Center looking to improve on a 9-4 record as three of its home losses have come to Cleveland and Golden State.

Taking Flight

Another team that is heating up is Houston (17-7 SU, 17-17 ATS), who is riding a six-game winning streak, as the Rockets host the struggling Nets (6-16 SU, 11-10-1 ATS) tonight. The Rockets held off the Thunder on Friday, 102-99, followed up by a 109-87 blowout of cross-state rival Dallas on Saturday.

Houston owns a perfect 3-0 SU/ATS record as a double-digit favorite, as the Rockets are 14 ½-point favorites against a Nets’ squad that is coming off a 29-point loss at San Antonio on Saturday. One warning for Rockets’ backers, as Brooklyn pulled off the two-game sweep of Houston last season, including a 106-98 triumph as 11 ½-point ‘dogs at Toyota Center.

Other Action

The Heat (7-17 SU, 11-13 ATS) return home from an 0-3 road swing as the Wizards (9-13 SU, 9-13 ATS) travel to South Florida. Miami managed a pair of covers as heavy underdogs at Atlanta and Chicago, as the Heat look to improve on a 2-8 record at American Airlines Arena. The Wizards are coming off comeback home victories over the Nuggets and Bucks, but Washington lost to Miami at the Verizon Center last month, 114-111 as 4 ½-point favorites.

Denver (9-15 SU, 13-11 ATS) and Dallas (5-18 SU, 9-14 ATS) are hooking up for the first time this season as the two teams meet at American Airlines Center. The Mavs grabbed three of four matchups last season, including both games in Dallas. The Nuggets finish off a six-game road swing after rallying past the Magic on Saturday, while the Mavs are fresh off their 18th loss of the season at Houston.
