Written by Associated Press   

Devin Harris scored 19 of his 42 points in the fourth quarter and carried the Nets at home for the second straight game in a 111-99 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.

The dazzling performance came two days after Harris scored 39 points and hit a buzzer-beating halfcourt shot for a win against Philadelphia.


Harris made 7 of 9 shots from the field in the final quarter to boost the Nets’ playoff hopes and hand Chicago only its fifth loss in 13 games.


“Now is the time,” Harris said after the Nets (26-32) pulled into a tie with Chicago for ninth place in the Eastern Conference, a game behind Milwaukee. “We really can’t wait anymore. We can’t be patient.”


SPURS 99, TRAIL BLAZERS 84 With Tim Duncan sidelined for the second straight game with a leg injury, Tony Parker scored 39 points and host San Antonio beat Portland for the 11th consecutive time. 


HORNETS 90, PISTONS 87 David West scored 30 points and grabbed two key offensive rebounds on New Orleans’s final possession, helping the Hornets hold off the visiting Pistons.


With the Hornets protecting an 88-87 lead, Chris Paul missed two runners in the lane, but West tipped the first rebound to himself and grabbed the second one. He made two free throws after being fouled with 6.7 seconds left.


JAZZ 120, TIMBERWOLVES 103 In his second game back after missing the previous 44 with a knee injury, Carlos Boozer had 12 points on 6-for-10 shooting in 21 minutes for visiting Utah.


MAVERICKS 116, BUCKS 96 Josh Howard scored 27 points and host Dallas avenged its worst loss of the season. The Bucks beat the Mavericks by 34 points on Jan. 21 and led by 15-7 on Wednesday. Dallas Coach Rick Carlisle called a timeout and the Mavericks responded with a 16-0 run.


76ERS 106, WIZARDS 98 Andre Iguodala scored 22 points, including a flying dunk and a buzzer-beating 3-pointer during a third-quarter spurt, as visiting Philadelphia ended a four-game losing streak. Iguodala also had 11 assists and 9 rebounds.


PACERS 104, GRIZZLIES 99 T. J. Ford and Jarrett Jack each scored 20 points, and host Indiana held on despite committing 20 turnovers and allowing Memphis to shoot 49 percent.
 
 
Dodgers offer Ramirez two-year deal E-mail
Written by Sports Know It Alls Staff   

Published reports claim that the Los Angeles Dodgers are offering Manny Ramirez, the outfielder, a two-year contract worth an estimated $45 million.

The contract includes a $25 million pay-out for Ramirez for the 2009 season and a player option of $20 million for 2010. The offer comes as the Dodgers, and the rest of the league, open spring training.

During the off-season, Ramirez declined the Dodgers’ offer. The franchise hopes that the player option clause will give Ramirez more flexible options.

Ramirez, who is an unrestricted free agent, is coming off an eight-year contract with Boston worth $160 million. He was then acquired by the Dodgers. Ramirez was part of the LA team that went to the World Series, only to lose to Philadelphia.

Ramirez hit .396 with 17 homers and 53 RBI in 53 games in a Dodger uniform.
 
 
Tiger Woods wins first match E-mail
Written by Sports Know It Alls Staff   

Last Wednesday, Tiger Woods made a successful return to competitive golf after winning against Australian Brendan Jones in the first round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona.

It’s Woods’ first tournament since competing in the 2008 US Open last June. He spent eight months in the recovery room as he suffered from a torn ligament in his left knee.

However, the world’s number 1 golfer did not show signs of rust last Wednesday. Woods birdied his first hole, one if his three birdies in the round. He had one eagle and three bogeys to finish up the first round.

“I hit the ball well starting out,” Woods told the tournament’s official Web site. “Hit a couple of loose irons in the middle part of the round, but other than that, I really hit it pretty good all day.” 

The match ended at the 16th hole with Woods up by three, a lead Jones could no longer overcome with the final two holes.

In the next round, Tiger will be matched up against South African Tim Clark.
