The extra point is supposed to be a routine play. When you think about it, a lot of it is muscle memory. Snap, hold and a short kick by a former soccer player.

Time slips away in a hurry as Tim Thomas runs around looking to make something happen in short order. The slumping forward&#39;s on a short leash at the moment and wound up watching most of last

Whaddya think? Let him close tonight? He threw only 99 pitches and he was still pumping high-octane gas at the end. Curt Schilling might be good for a batter or two in a pinch tonight.

Maybe coach Lenny Wilkens should make copies of the game tape of the Knicks&#39; 99-81 loss last night at SBC Center and distribute them to his players as required viewing.

Aiming for its first America East tournament title game since 2003, Boston University came up short -- and long -- yesterday against Albany. At a loss? So was BU about finding a way to put the ball in the basket.

It was a little thing, a tiny moment, a mere speck of the game.

Death by dead ball. Arsenal&#39;s defence of the title is at risk of being killed off by their fatal weakness at set pieces. Chelsea twice came from behind to equalise in such a situation and it is only the scoreline that can claim the honours were shared.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- For the Notre Dame players, simply winning Saturday&#39;s game against Washington wasn&#39;t enough. &#39;&#39;We wanted to come into the game, put our foot on somebody&#39;s neck and not let up, and I think

The Pistons trailed almost the entire game. They led for only 42.6 seconds. They were down by 16 at halftime, down by five in the fourth quarter, down by four with 1:42 left, down by three with 34.4 seconds left.

On a sore ankle filled with bone spurs, Ray Allen believed he could have scored more than 34 points. Considering that a day earlier Allen's season was in question, 34 was plenty.

The way I heard it, Oklahoma went off as a 3-point favorite in a lot of places. This had to do with a lot of, ahem, "smart" money coming in late on the Sooners.

Jovan Kirovski has been in this situation before. He knows what it&#39;s like to be down a goal heading into the second game of a home-and-home aggregate goals series.
