NEW YORK, N. CJ Wilson Jersey .Y. - A Navy SEAL spoke to the Toronto Raptors before the season, reminding them there is never an easy day.This started out looking like one, before the Raptors fifth consecutive victory turned awfully difficult.DeMar DeRozan scored 26 points, Amir Johnson made the tiebreaking basket with 41 seconds left in overtime, and Toronto beat the Brooklyn Nets 127-122 on Friday night.Lou Williams finished with 25 points and Johnson had 24 for the Raptors, who led 12-0 and were ahead by 17 in the second half before needing some big plays from Johnson in the final minutes.In this league there is never an easy day, Toronto coach Dwane Casey said. Our guys found a way.Johnson made the tying dunk with 12 seconds left in regulation, and scored inside after DeRozans shot was blocked to make it 124-122, making him 10 for 11 from the field.Amir and DeMar held it down tonight, Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry said. They made all the winning plays.Jarrett Jack scored a career-high 35 points while playing 52 minutes for the Nets, and had 13 assists and eight rebounds. Brook Lopez came off the bench for 35 points and 12 boards.Brooklyn lost its fourth straight and finished a miserable 3-12 January with its seventh straight home loss. The Nets are winless here since a Dec. 29 victory over Sacramento.Toronto had a series of double-digit leads during the first three quarters. But it turned into a tight game over the final 10 minutes, and the teams, which played a seven-game playoff series last spring, traded big shots — until Lopez missed a wide-open jumper on the final play of regulation.He made up for that with a three-point play that tied it at 120, and Jack tied it for the final time at 122-all with 56 seconds to play. The Nets nearly got the ball back after Mason Plumlee stuffed DeRozan, but Johnson came up with it and put it in.Brooklyn missed a couple jumpers on the next possession before DeRozan made two free throws, and Lowry added one more to finish it out.Jack and Brook played unbelievable, Plumlee said. They really willed us, kept us in the game. Overtime we made some poor fouls.A year after the Nets beat them in a Game 7 on their home floor, the Raptors extended the NBAs largest division lead to 13 1/2 games in the Atlantic over Brooklyn, which fell to 18-28.Trying to solve their home woes, the Nets held a game-day morning workout here for the first time this season, but the Raptors sure seemed more comfortable at the start.Toronto opened a 12-0 lead before the Nets even had a rebound and remained in control behind Williams, who had 18 points at halftime on just four shots. He was 10 for 10 at the free-throw line and made both of his 3-point attempts in just 10 minutes.Toronto had a 17-point cushion in the third, but Jack sparked a 12-0 run early in the fourth while the Nets held the Raptors without a field goal for nearly the first 6 minutes.We couldve folded, we couldve tucked our tails a number of times throughout this game, Jack said.They handled the game the majority of the game in the first half, and to come out and fight and put up an effort against a team thats a damn good team, I thought we just represented ourselves well tonight, came out, fought hard and we just came up short a couple of possessions.TIP-INSRaptors: Center Jonas Valanciunas hurt his right ankle in the first half and returned to the locker room to get re-taped. ... Forward James Johnson missed the game after hurting his right hamstring earlier Friday.

CHAUNCEY BILLUPS (Pistons): Yes they got Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings in the off-season and Andre Drummond is a beast (teams are kicking themselves for passing on him - he rebounds and block shots every game - thats two more discernable and significant skills than most guys in his draft class), but dont for a second discount the impact of having a savvy veteran like Billups on your team. http://www.baseballangelslockroom.com/reggie-jackson-angels-jersey/ .Y. -- Major League Soccer has agreed to new measures to protect gay players from discrimination and harassment as a result of meetings with New Yorks attorney general.Last season the 12th-man proved almost impossible to beat, the 11-men that took the field on either side of the ball in front of them were just as tough, and the Seattle Seahawks rode a talented squad and an overwhelming home advantage to a franchise first Super Bowl championship. Only eight champions have been repeat winners of the NFLs ultimate prize and none since New England Patriots knocked off the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles to win back-to-back crowns. Are the Seahawks the right squad to be the ninth team to achieve the feat? At 26.4 years-old, the Seahawks boasted the second youngest team to ever win the championship and that is a great sign for their future success. Quarterback Russell Wilson followed an elite rookie season with an even better sophomore campaign to lead his team to the top. After throwing 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his first year, he repeated the number of majors while lowering his picks to 9 for the season. If that was all there was to say about Wilson and his skills that would be enough, however he also rushed for 539 yards and a touchdown proving to be skilled on his feet as well as with his arm. A healthy Percy Harvin should make for a strong passing game, even if they will have to deal with the loss of both Golden Tate and Sidney Rice at the position. Tate is now plying his trade for the Detroit Lions and Rice has called time on his career, but in Doug Baldwin and his 50 catches for 778 yards and five touchdowns and Jermaine Kearse and his four touchdowns last season, the Seahawks are not going to be short of skilled options in their passing game. In the backfield once again will be one of the most imposing and hardest to tackle players in the NFL inn Marshawn Lynch. Andrew Heaney Angels Jersey. Last season he contributed 1,257 yards and 12 touchdowns on 301 carries and he also caught two touchdowns out of the backfield. To call these weapons a dynamic offence is probably a major understatement and they might not even be the most talented unit on the team. The Seahawks also boast an incredibly strong, skilled and hard hitting defence, led by talented Richard Sherman who makes tough plays and big plays in the biggest moments. Sherman is the type of player that can erase a wide receiver from an offenses entire plan and he doesnt run the field alone. Earl Thomas is considered to be the best free safeties in the league and along with Sherman has stated his goal to be talked about among the all-time greats of the game. Safety Kam Chancellor is also one of the best at his position and while he might not get the same ink as the other two high profile defenders, was second team all-pro last season so his credentials are nowhere near being in question. The defence did take some offseason hits having lost cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Walter Thurmond III, and defensive linemen Chris Clemons, Red Bryant and Clinton McDonald. This team has survived on a next man up philosophy thus far and there is no reason to believe all of the holes created by those departures wont also easily be filled. The ace in the hole is the rabid fan base that helped the Seahawks to a 7-1 record during the regular season in Seattle and two huge home playoff victories the propelled them to the Super Bowl. Beating the Seahawks is incredibly tough and winning in Seattle is even tougher, those are the ingredients to another top notch, possibly championship calibre season. ' ' '
