The first was a flawless up-and-under layup during the second quarter, which he made look easy.

“So we just have to continue to trust that even when games aren’t going well, it’s actually still ball movement and the player movement and selflessness that will get you back into a game”.
Carolina Panthers’ bid for perfect season ends with loss to Atlanta Falcons
That’s why Newton was able to get out of the funk he was in immediately after the game and put a positive spin moving forward. And then, Ryan Fitzpatrick hit Decker on a fade behind Super Bowl hero Malcolm Butler for New York’s fifth straight victory.
The Celtics had managed to open an 88-78 lead on Turner’s driving basket with 6:11 to play before Knicks responded in style but Thomas ensured that the Celtics were never in danger of losing. The Celtics have been getting solid contributions from multiple bench players and the return of Smart will ensure that Stevens will only have to play the top contributors.
Iraqi troops retake key base in Ramadi from ISIS
The allied forces launched a final offensive to retake the area, Islamic State’s last bastion in Ramadi , on Tuesday. Iraq’s military said earlier in the week that government forces expect to be in control of the city in a few days.
Brad Stevens said after the game that there’s plenty of room to improve, but he’s impressed by the way they guarded. “I think he would tell you it wasn’t his best day, but again, he did make the biggest plays to push the lead from five to nine”. Six Celtics scored in double digits in Monday’s 113-99 win over Minnesota, five reached that plateau two nights later in a 102-89 victory at Charlotte and six more scored at least 10 in Saturday’s 99-93 win at Detroit. While I certainly expect these games to be competitive, I do believe that Boston can win both games, just as long as they force Carmelo Anthony to shoot outside shots and they box-out rookie sensation Kristaps Porzingis. “Little guy with big heart out there”. He also got shaken up in the first half after Jae Crowder crashed into him on a drive – called an offensive foul – and the Latvian left the game. Draws a lot of attention. “They know I can make those shots”.
Anthony buried a 3-pointer to bring the Knicks within 90-85 with 3:48 left, but that’s when they fell apart. Meanwhile the Grizzlies cruised out to a 25-point lead and snapped a two-game skid with the W. Jeff Green (17 points, 4 rebounds, 4 dimes) had a vicious chase down block on Nick Young that was pretty much a metaphor for how this entire game went. NY shot just 26.9 percent, hitting only seven shots in the opening 12 minutes. The Knicks are allowing 30.2 percent shooting from deep and are forcing 11.4 turnovers per game. But when the game starts it’s really those guys that have to get it done.
Each of Boston’s starters scored in double figures, and Turner added 13 points in a reserve role. “We’ve had very bad starts in the last three games, and today we had an terrible third quarter”.
David Lee has struggled to find playing time in a crowded Boston Celtics frontcourt.
The Celtics led 51-41 at halftime.
“If we would’ve turned it over we would’ve lost, because that was how they scored in transition some, on us”. “It’s not confident when you’re shooting the ball”. NY took him with the fourth pick in the 2015 draft.
Knicks: Porzingis walked to the bench gingerly after taking a charge, but came back.
Fisher liked that Anthony said that. LazaroSmithington pointed out that Marcus Smart, who played 13 minutes and shot poorly in his first game back from injury, outscored every Knick guard.

As encouraging as the Boston Celtics have played at times this season, the one complaint among their fan base has been the team’s lack of consistency.
