Santonio Holmes Jersey

DENVER -- The old Nuggets couldnt beat the San Antonio Spurs. Santonio Holmes Jersey . The new-look Nuggets found a way. Wilson Chandler hit a go-ahead jumper with 29.3 seconds remaining and the Nuggets beat the Spurs for the first time this season, 115-112 on Wednesday night. Denver improved to 11-4 since pulling off the blockbuster deal on Feb. 22 that sent Carmelo Anthony to New York and reshaped the Nuggets roster with a bevy of newcomers and altered roles for holdovers. "Theyre a little more unpredictable," said the Spurs Manu Ginobili, who missed a game-tying three-point attempt at the buzzer. "They have a bunch of players that can score and they can go to down the stretch." The Nuggets snapped a five-game losing streak to the Spurs, including three previous encounters this season, behind inspired play from the reserves. Al Harrington led Denver with 27 points. Raymond Felton and J.R. Smith each added 18 points. Felton and Chandler, who had eight points, were among the players sent to Denver as part of the Anthony deal. Gary Neal had 25 points for the Spurs, who lead the Western Conference and have already clinched a playoff spot. Ginobili had 20 points and Tony Parker added 19. The Spurs were playing their first game since losing Tim Duncan indefinitely to a left ankle sprain in Monday nights night win over Golden State, but Ginobili said the team as a whole picked up the slack. He said a defensive letdown ultimately is what cost the spurs. "We had a great opportunity. We were up 10-12 for a big part of the game," Ginobili said. "But they got us on our heels. We stopped being aggressive. We settled for too many jumpers and they made more than us." Up by five at the half, the Spurs took a 93-90 lead into the fourth quarter and stretched it to 98-91 on a layup by Matt Bonner. Thats when the Nuggets countered with an 11-0 flurry that put them in front 102-98 for their first lead since the games opening moments. Harrington had 3-pointers to start and finish the surge. "Ive always felt like I was a rhythm player," Harrington said. "Sometimes its hard for me to get it going in 4 or 5 minutes. I realize the more aggressive and better I play the more Ill play." The Spurs tied it at 112 on a layup by Gary Neal with 1:34 remaining before Wilson hit the decisive jumper from just inside the foul line. After Ginobili missed a jumper, the Spurs fouled Felton, who made one of two free throws with 9.5 seconds left. Harried by the Nuggets Kenyon Martin, Ginobilis try on a tying 3-pointer ended up being an air ball. "Six seconds to go, down by three and I had Kenyon Martin all over me. I couldnt get closer. Its not like I had a lot of options," Ginobili said. Said Martin, the Nuggets top defender who was assigned to Ginobili in the late going, "I take every possession personally, especially at the end of the game when the game is on the line and you can make a play. I got a hand up and he took two tough shots." San Antonio hit nine of their 13 3-point attempts in the first half, and led by as many as 14 before settling for a 69-64 advantage at the break. After Neal connected from beyond the arc to put the Spurs up 55-42 with 6:19 left in the second quarter, the Nuggets got close with a 13-2 run. Felton and Danilo Gallinari each hit 3-pointers and Harrington converted a three-point play during the surge.

Ferrieros shot hit off Detroit defenceman Brad Stuarts stick and got past Jimmy Howard for the game-winner just seconds after the Red Wings had killed off a four-minute penalty. Stuart slammed his stick to the ice in disgust after the goal, as the Red Wings again fell behind in their series to the Sharks. Joe Pavelski scored the tying goal on the power play in the third period for San Jose. Antti Niemi made 24 saves as the Sharks won their fourth overtime game of this post-season. Howard made 44 saves, and Nicklas Lidstrom scored the only Detroit goal the day after his 41st birthday. Game 2 is Sunday in San Jose. After being stymied for two-plus periods by Howard, the Sharks finally broke through midway through the third on their third power play of the night with Todd Bertuzzi out for boarding Pavelski. Joe Thornton took a big shot from just inside the blue line that Howard stopped, but Pavelski batted the rebound down out of midair with his stick and into the net to tie it with 9:38 to go with San Joses first power-play goal in four games this post-season. Pavelski played a big part in San Joses series win over Detroit a year ago, scoring four goals in the first two games, including the tying tally in the third period of Game 2. That was one of two third-period comebacks in that series for the Sharks, who did it again in the opener this year. The Red Wings killed another power play later in the third and withstood a late flurry from San Jose, with Howard making a tough pad save on a deflection by Dany Heatley to send the game to overtime. Led by an energetic shift by the line of Logan Couture, Ryane Clowe and Dany Heatley, the Sharks dominated the play in the first half oof the second period but were unable to score. Andre Johnson Youth Jersey. Howard made a tough stop on Pavelski and helped kill a power play as Detroit maintained the lead despite being outshot 16-2 in the first 10 minutes of the second period. Detroit allowed two shots the rest of the period and had chances to extend the lead but one shot rolled along the goal line and away from the net, and Niemi stopped Jiri Hudler on a wrist shot in the closing minute. This marked the third time in five seasons that these teams met in the second round of the playoffs, with each team winning once. The Red Wings were well-rested, with eight full days off since their sweep of Phoenix in the first round. Thats in stark contrast to their one day off a year ago after a seven-game series against the Coyotes, which was a factor in them falling behind 3-0 in the series. The time off also allowed two of Detroits most potent players heal from injuries that kept them out of action for at least part of the first round. Johan Franzen, who led the team with 28 goals in the regular season, has recovered from an injured left ankle that forced him to miss Game 4 against the Coyotes. Leading scorer Henrik Zetterberg is also back after missing the entire first round with an injured left knee. There was a feeling-out process early, with both teams seemingly wary of making an early mistake. San Jose killed off an early power play before the Red Wings broke through midway through the period when Pavel Datsyuk got the puck on the boards and fed Lidstrom in the slot for a slap shot that beat Niemi to the glove side. Notes: With Zetterberg and Franzen returning, the Red Wings scratched Kris Draper and Mike Modano. ... F Ben Eager, who didnt play the final two games against Los Angeles, was back in the lineup and Ferriero made his post-season debut for San Jose on his 24th birthday. Jamal Mayers and Jamie McGinn were scratched. ... Detroit coach Mike Babcock turned 48 on Friday. ' ' '
