PHILADELPHIA -- Tony Wrotens first career start resulted in the first triple-double of his life. Wroten had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, James Anderson scored a career-high 36 points and Spencer Hawes made the go-ahead basket with 34 seconds left in overtime to help the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Houston Rockets 123-117 Wednesday night. Subbing for injured rookie Michael Carter-Williams, who didnt play because of a bruised left arch, Wroten made a strong case for more playing time. "First time for everything," he said. "I never had a triple-double at any level, not middle school, high school, anywhere." Jeremy Lin scored 34 points for Houston, making a career-best nine 3-pointers that tied a franchise record. Dwight Howard had 23 points and 15 rebounds, and Chandler Parsons added 22 points. Lin started for James Harden, who was out of Houstons lineup because of a bruised left foot. "It was my worst defensive game of the season," Lin said. "Tomorrow has to be my best defensive game of the season." Two days after the Sixers were blown out by San Antonio in coach Brett Browns first game against his former team, they beat general manager Sam Hinkies former club. Hinkie spent the last eight years in Houston and was the executive vice-president of basketball operations for the Rockets before coming to Philadelphia. The Sixers are off to a surprising 5-4 start that includes wins over Miami and Chicago. Theyve been far more competitive than expected. Oddsmakers predicted fewer than 17 wins. "Im proud of their competitive spirit," Brown said. "We have no right to have an inherent chemistry or camaraderie. We were thrown together in a few months. But the group trusts each other and enjoys playing together. They have resolve and a fighting spirit." The Rockets missed 10 straight shots from late in the fourth quarter into overtime before Howards basket plus free throw tied it with 2:21 left in overtime. After Lin hit a 3 for a 112-111 lead, Thaddeus Young made two free throws. Howard answered with a bucket, but Hawes put in Evan Turners miss to give the Sixers the lead for good. Young stripped Howard at the other end and Turner made two free throws to extend the lead to 117-114. Francisco Garcia then missed a 3. After Anderson made two free throws, Lin made his last 3 to get the Rockets within two. But Hollis Thompson sealed it with two free throws. Turner scored 23 and Hawes finished with 18 points and nine rebounds. "Defensively, we made great plays, especially in crunch time," Hawes said. Anderson made a 3-pointer from the top of the circle to tie it at 106 with 6.6 seconds left in regulation. After Parsons missed a long jumper, Wrotens desperation 59-footer at the buzzer rattled the rim and fell out to send the game to overtime. Down 90-80 to start the fourth quarter, the Sixers rallied behind Anderson and Hawes. Hawes and Anderson hits 3s, and a turnaround jumper by Young pulled Philadelphia within 102-101 with 2:14 left. Wrotens driving layup tied it at 103. "I got in a rhythm early and guys did a good job finding me," Anderson said. "I finally got an opportunity and its great timing."

BALTIMORE -- On the last day of the regular season, David Ortiz arrived at the ballpark wearing a white shirt with a pink floral design and a white coat with a bright red handkerchief stuffed in the pocket. His Boston Red Sox teammates teased away, saying he looked like a waiter or a wedding guest, but the slugger would have none of it. "You guys are always waiting for the best-looking guy on the team, right?" he said when reporters surrounded his locker. Ortiz is all dressed up and has a place to go. The Red Sox wrapped up the regular season Sunday with a 7-6 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, a game that had an exhibition feel for the AL East champions as they look ahead to the playoffs. "We are right where we need to be," Ortiz said. "You want to make sure that youre in the playoffs, and now its all about surviving." The Red Sox finished 97-65, tied with the St. Louis Cardinals for the best record in baseball. Boston will open its division series at Fenway Park on Friday against the winner of the ALs wild-card playoff, a layoff so long that manager John Farrell is planning simulated games for Wednesdays workout. "I think everybodys anticipating Friday, but weve still got some work to do before we get there," Farrell said, "whether thats finding out who were going to play, but, more importantly, to continue to address not only the roster internally, but the work that we need to stay as sharp as possible." Making liberal use of the bench and bullpen with home-field advantage in the post-season already clinched, the Red Sox blew a 5-0 lead and used seven pitchers. Rubby De La Rosa (0-2) gave up Baltimores go-ahead run in the sixth. T.J. McFarland (4-1), the second of four Orioles pitchers, threw one scoreless inning for the win. Jim Johnson worked the ninth for his 50th save, but not before allowing one run and nearly a second that would have tied the game. The Red Sox had men on first and third with one out when Will Middlebrooks ended the game by hitting into a 5-4-3 double play. Johnson, who had 51 saves last year, became the second player in major league history with back-to-back 50-save seasons, joining Eric Gagne, who had 52 in 2002 and 55 in 2003. The Orioles finished 85-77, giving them back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1996-97, an achievement that hardly tempers the disappointment of not repeating last years run to the playoffs. The final blow came when Chris Davis sprained his left wrist in the fourth inning on a play at first base. X-rays were negative, but tthe injury ended his season a couple of hours earlier than expected.dddddddddddd The player who accepted the Orioles MVP award before the game walked off to a standing ovation, finishing tops in the majors in both homers (53) and RBIs (138). "Nothing serious, no broken bones, no fractures, just sprained my wrist," Davis said. "They said it would probably be sore for a few days. Its not going to affect anything going into the off-season, nothing like that. I was really glad to hear that." Davis was hurt on a nubber by Jacoby Ellsbury. The ball stopped only a few feet in front of home plate, and catcher Steve Clevengers throw hit Ellsbury on the left side of the back just as Ellsbury was arriving at the bag. Davis attempt to catch the ball left his outstretched hand in the path of Ellsburys torso. Davis glove flew off, and he immediately grabbed his wrist. He attempted a few throws under the supervision of the trainer before heading to the dugout. "We dodged a bullet there, hopefully," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "Next week or two passes and hes still got problems, well go into more detail with it." Davis sub, Ryan Flaherty, picked up the slack, hitting an RBI single in a five-run fifth and a run-scoring double when the Orioles took the lead for good in the sixth. With the four-day break to come, Red Sox manager Farrell wanted to give multiple innings to multiple pitchers. Scheduled starter John Lackey was scratched for Allen Webster, who threw three hitless innings. Felix Doubront pitched a scoreless fourth but fell apart in the fifth, retiring only one of the eight batters he faced as the Orioles scored five to tie the game. "We got everybody to the mound that we hoped to," Farrell said. "We found some things out, at least in the short run." Notes: Ellsbury began the game with his 10th career leadoff homer, breaking the club record held by Dom DiMaggio and Tommy Harper. ... Baltimore set a major league record with 54 errors in a 162-game season, 11 fewer than the previous mark set by the 2003 Mariners. ... The Red Sox finished the season with 39 consecutive successful stolen base attempts. Their 86.6 percentage for the season (123 for 142) is the best by an AL team since the statistic has been tracked in the league, starting in 1920. ... Orioles CF Adam Jones sat out with a sore right wrist, which he hurt while fouling off a pitch in the seventh inning of Saturday nights game. ... The Orioles drew more than 2.3 million, their best season attendance since 2005. Ulogujte se da bi ste vidjeli ovaj Link... Ulogujte se da bi ste vidjeli ovaj Link...
