Things were going so well in the run game, and then all of sudden Gus made a decision to pull out his bag of tricks. He tossed a lame duck into traffic and the pass was intercepted by Reggis Ball , leading to a Memphis field goal.
Barring an NBA Final between the Celtics and L.A., this game will mark No.24’s last appearance on the parquet floor in his 20-year Hall of Fame career with the Lakers.
One of biggest games in years ahead for Vikings
How many carries will Peterson get Sunday? Before they get there, of course, the Vikings have this rivalry rematch to focus on. The Cowboys beat the shit out of the Packers in the 90s, with eight straight wins, including three in the playoffs.
“You have been a big help to the game of basketball”, Jordan said. “I just wanted to make big plays”.

“Nothing different”, Lakers coach Byron Scott said of Bryant.
“I would have loved to play overseas for a season”.
Zeller has put in solid back-to-back games for the Hornets while starting at center in place of Al Jefferson, who is still working back into shape after an injury and a five-game suspension.
If this isn’t one of the greatest examples of real recognizing real, I don’t know what is. In a lot of cases, they sound more like his fans. The Hornets pulled away midway through the fourth quarter behind Walker and Nick Batum (15 points).
No Eastern Conference team averages more 3-point attempts than the Charlotte Hornets, and that’s something coach Steve Clifford would like to cut down on.
For all the boos and “Beat L-A” chants directed at Bryant over the years at TD Garden, Vujacic believes the Celtics fans will deliver a positive reaction when he plays his last game in Boston on Wednesday.
