Fighting back from a double-digit deficit to make a final score respectable against an elite Western Conference team might have been seen as a moral victory for the Los Angeles Lakers in recent seasons.Especially when their loss totals were 61 and 65.This year, the young Lakers are not accepting losing a close game or making a score more respectable.Los Angeles is in the beginning stages of a difficult stretch of its schedule that might give a clearer idea about how it stacks up and it continues Sunday night when it hosts the Chicago Bulls.Los Angeles has won seven of its first 13 games with notable wins over the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks. The Lakers had a chance at another noteworthy win Friday but ultimately could not stop the San Antonio Spurs from making enough big shots in a 116-107 loss.Los Angeles was tied with the Spurs early in the third quarter and fell behind by as many as 15 before making the final margin closer.Last year, we would have been out of this game if we were down by that much, Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson said. Were out here to compete every night now. Were not OK with any loss.Friday was the first of a hellacious week for the Lakers. After facing Chicago, Los Angeles hosts the Oklahoma City Thunder, plays a home-and-home with Golden State and hosts Atlanta before playing 12 of its next 15 games on the road.Regardless of their feelings, the Lakers may play Sunday without second-year guard DAngelo Russell. Russell missed Fridays game with a sore left knee and coach Luke Walton does not expect it to be a long-term problem.It makes it really hard, Lakers forward Julius Randle said. (Russell) gets us in our stuff, obviously can really score the ball. Hes a great leader for us.Russell did not practice Saturday and received treatment on the knee. He will be re-evaluated Sunday and is listed as questionable.His knee has been bothering him (but) hes been playing through it, Walton said. It started hurting more, so they decided last night when he got to the arena to shut him down.Russell leads the Lakers with 16.8 points per game, slightly ahead of veteran Lou Williams. Williams scored 24 Friday and has helped the Los Angeles reserves lead the league in scoring at 51 points.Chicago had its four-game winning streak stopped by imploding in the fourth quarter of a 102-95 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Saturday night. The Bulls led by 19 in the second quarter but allowed 30 points in the fourth and made one basket in the final 6 1/2 minutes.Dwyane Wade scored 28 points but shot 9-of-20, including 1-of-5 in the fourth quarter. Jimmy Butler added 22 but was even more inefficient by shooting 5-of-18.It was a good night for us, we just didnt come out with the win, Wade said. Its the NBA, leads are whatever. Id rather have a 19-point lead in the second half. Im not all about the 20-point leads in the first half, especially on the road. A team is going to come back and the game is going to turn in their favor.Saturday was even more frustrating for Chicago as coach Fred Hoiberg was ejected in the waning seconds after Taj Gibson got called for a technical foul. That came shortly after Butler was called for a questionable foul on Blake Griffin as the shot clock was winding down, resulting in a four-point deficit from the foul shots.Chicago also lost for the first time when taking a lead into the fourth quarter and the collapse cost the Bulls their first 3-0 start to their annual circus trip since 1995.Chicago has swept the season series with the Lakers in two of the last three seasons. Last season, Butler scored 26 in the Bulls 114-91 win at Los Angeles on Jan. 28.Discount Air Jordan . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

Jefferson has been charged with assaulting his girlfriend. PHILADELPHIA -- David Wright sure likes Philadelphia, even if the city isnt so fond of him. Wright homered, tripled and matched a New York Mets record with four extra-base hits to back Matt Harveys latest splendid start in an 8-0 victory over the Phillies on Sunday. "This guy is tired, beat up, yet he rides it when you need him," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Ive been around stars, and this guys as good as any of them." Wright, who has spent his entire 10-year career playing for one of Philadelphias biggest rivals, hit his 17th home run at Citizens Bank Park. He went 4 for 5 with two of New Yorks season-high seven doubles, raising his numbers at the Phillies home field to .296 with 43 extra-base hits and 58 RBIs in 80 games. With the Mets making a major marketing push to get Wright elected to start next months All-Star game at Citi Field, the third baseman is batting .405 with 14 extra-base hits in his last 17 games. "It would be a tremendous honour and something I would really like to do," Wright said. "First and foremost, Id like to be there for the All-Star game. But to be able to start it in your home park would be pretty special. I think (thats) an understatement." Given a rare heaping of run support, Harvey (7-1) allowed two hits in six innings and struck out six to earn consecutive wins for the first time since mid-April. The 24-year-old right-hander tossed four perfect innings and threw a season-low 72 pitches -- his outing was cut short by a 20-minute rain delay in the seventh. Collins said there was no argument when he informed Harvey he would not return after the delay, and the manager didnt want to take a chance with his young star. "I said, Nope, its not worth it," Collins explained. "The upside is too high." Harvey also hit an RBI double to deep right-centre and scored in a three-run fifth that made it 4-0. Later, he hit a line drive that knocked reliever Joe Saverys glove off his hand but was thrown out at first. Harvey became the first Mets starter to win twice in one season at Citizens Bank Park, where New York took two of three after winning a five-game series at first-place Atlanta. "He was really good," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "He was getting the ball over the plate. He was getting his slider on the outside of the plate against the left-handed hitters and he comes right after you.dddddddddddd" Wright hit his 12th home run in the ninth and finished a single shy of the cycle. But he wouldnt trade one of those doubles for a single. "I like doubles," Wright said. The club said the previous Mets player to have four extra-base hits in a game was Edgardo Alfonzo on Aug. 30, 1999, at Houston. New leadoff batter Eric Young Jr. had three hits and scored twice. Philadelphias only threat against Harvey came in the fourth, when Chase Utley hit a leadoff double and Ryan Howard worked a one-out walk. But Harvey got out of the jam by striking out Domonic Brown on a 99 mph fastball and retiring Delmon Young on a grounder. New York opened the scoring in the first when Marlon Byrd drove in Young with a sacrifice fly. In the fifth, Harvey helped himself by hitting the first of three RBI doubles for the Mets. Juan Lagares led off the inning with what appeared to be an easy fly to centre, but Ben Revere fumbled the ball in the exchange from his glove to his bare hand and it was ruled it a three-base error, opening the door for New York. The Mets added two more in the sixth. Josh Satin and John Buck drew back-to-back walks before Lagares chased Phillies starter John Lannan (0-2) with an RBI double. Buck scored on Omar Quintanillas sacrifice fly to make it 6-0. Byrd hit an RBI double in the seventh after Wrights triple. Mets relievers LaTroy Hawkins and Brandon Lyon closed it out, handing the Phillies their seventh shutout of the season.
