The Toronto Raptors will try to get back into the win column tonight when they welcome the Detroit Pistons to Air Canada Centre. Catch all the action live on TSN2 or on TSN Radio Toronto at 7pm et/4pm pt. The Raptors had a three-game winning streak halted Monday night with a road loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The loss, coupled with the Brooklyn win, shrunk Torontos lead in the Atlantic Division to three games over the Nets. "They (Nets) have veteran guys," said Raptors forward John Salmons. "They have guys that can hit guys in the clutch. They got guys that have carried teams in the past. Its definitely a tough team." Kyle Lowry had 21 points, eight rebounds and seven assists and Amir Johnson poured in 16 points for Toronto, which has won two straight north of the border. Tyler Hansbrough also finished with 16 points, followed by 14 from DeMar DeRozan and 12 out of Terrence Ross. The Raptors begin a three-game homestand tonight and will host the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday and the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. The Pistons ended a three-game losing streak on Tuesday night with a 99-89 home victory over the Sacramento Kings. Detroit has dropped nine straight as the visitor. Josh Smith notched 24 points and eight rebounds in the Pistons triumph. Rodney Stuckey contributed 23 points off the bench, while Andre Drummond gave 15 points and five blocked shots to help Detroit. Kyle Singler had 11 points and five steals in the win. The Pistons pulled away thanks to a near flawless defensive frame in the third, as they held the Kings to just 11 points on 4-of-20 shooting. Smith and Brandon Jennings opened the period with 3-pointers, and Detroit led the rest of the way. "We didnt give them easy looks," said Detroit interim head coach John Loyer. "In that quarter I think we held them to 11 points and our contest rate was one of the highest of the year." Despite the sub .500 record, the Pistons are just three games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. "I have to be able to contribute, I dont want to sit home in April and think about what I could have done," said Smith, who is averaging 21.1 ppg over his last nine. "I just want to try to leave it all out there on the floor." Cullen Gillaspia Texans Jersey . Rockhold." Known as an aggressive striker, Belfort (23-10) instead paced himself as the engaged in the early going and showed restraint by not overcommitting against the larger Rockhold (10-2). But when the opportunity presented itself, Belfort delivered an incredible spinning heel kick that landed flush on Rockholds chin and sent him toppling to the floor. Justin Reid Texans Jersey . Heather, the first Gaiter to win the award, set a Canadian Inter-university Sport record with 3,132 passing yards in eight league games, an average of 391.5 yards per game.

Still, Inter moved one point ahead of Parma in the race for fifth place and the final Europa League spot. Udinese remained 14th, 11 points above the relegation zone. Inter was beaten 2-1 by Atalanta at home on Sunday and has won only seven of 16 matches at the San Siro this season, as the squad seems to still be searching for its identity under new owner Erick Thohir and first-year manager Walter Mazzarri. J.J. Watt Texans Jersey .com) - Mike Conley scored 20 points with five assists to help the Memphis Grizzlies remain unbeaten with a 91-89 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. Max Scharping Jersey . Scheffler told The Associated Press on Wednesday he made the choice because he had three concussions over the past four years.WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- The moustache is gone, and for one round at least, Johnson Wagner also didnt have to deal with playing bad golf. Wagner and Tommy Gainey each shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday to share a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Greenbrier Classic. Webb Simpson and Jin Park were close behind after 64s. Daniel Summerhays, Tag Ridings, Steven Bowditch and 50-year-old Neal Lancaster were another shot back. Players were able to lift, clean and place their balls Thursday after rain fell prior to the start of play. Gainey and Wagner had bogey-free rounds in the morning. Wagner was 8 under after 12 holes but finished with six straight pars. Both could use a good week -- Gainey is 125th in season tour winnings, while Wagner ranks 148th. Wagner doesnt have a top-10 finish this year and the three-time tour champion hasnt won since the 2012 Sony Open. In his last seven tournaments, hes missed six cuts and withdrew from the Memorial. "The last couple of months have been really hard," Wagner said. "I just havent been much fun to be around. Its just been tough. Nobody likes to be bad at what they do, especially golfers." A product of Virginia Tech -- which is less than two hours from the Old White TPC course -- Wagner chipped in for eagle on the par-5 12th, then finished with six straight pars. "Ive been disappointed with 76s and 79s the last month, so Im very happy to be disappointed with a 62 today," said Wagner, who shaved his well-talked-about moustache in a nod to his wife for their seventh wedding anniversary on Monday. "I didnt get her a gift. So I thought maybe surprising her with a clean lip would suffice," he said. The moustache will return at some point. "I love irritating my wife too much to let it go for too long," he said. Gaineys first PGA Tour victory came last fall at the McGladrey Classic, but like Wagner he has missed more cuts than hes made this year. Nicknamed "Two Gloves" for wearing gloves on both hands, Gainey had a serious talk with his wife, two other family members and his agent in the past month to try to figure out how to turn around his bad fortunes. Gainey said he had stopped having fun on the course.dddddddddddd "I had gotten away from that and Im trying to get back into that now," he said. "I felt like I knew what was going on. I was putting too much pressure on myself." Not Thursday, when he missed just one fairway with a new driver in his bag. "Hitting out of the rough is no fun," Gainey said. "Trust me, Ive been doing it for the past three years." Wagner admitted he had thoughts of shooting 59. Gainey knows what its like to flirt with the magic number, which only five players have attained in official PGA Tour events. He shot 60 in the McGladrey Classics final round. At the inaugural Greenbrier Classic in 2010, Stuart Appleby shot 59 in the final round to win at 22 under. With favourable scoring conditions this week, theres already talk about surpassing that. On Thursday, the top eight scores produced just nine total bogeys. "I believe you can get to at least 20 (under) this week," Gainey said. "It depends on how much rain we get and how much softer this course gets." Lancasters lone PGA Tour win came at the 1994 Byron Nelson Classic. Hes won $83,000 in five Champions Tour events this year. With an early second-round tee time, he knew where he was heading after Thursdays round. "To bed. Fifty-year-old guys dont want to play golf at 7:20 in the morning," he said. Among those at 2 under were Bill Haas, coming off a win at Congressional last week, and Ryan Palmer, whose caddie is New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton. Phil Mickelson, playing for the first time since finishing second to Justin Rose at the U.S. Open, struggled to a 74. His tee shot on the par-5 17th landed in Howards Creek and he three-putted for triple bogey. He also had five bogeys and four birdies. A similar round on Friday would mean his third missed cut of the year and the third consecutive time hes failed to advance to weekend play at the Greenbrier Classic. "I dont know what it is," Mickelson said. "I felt like I was playing really well heading in here. I dont play this course well. I dont know what the reasoning is. Its just given me problems the last few years." ' ' '
