WASHINGTON -- A month ago Drew Goodens home court was at an LA Fitness facility a few miles outside of Washington, D. Randy Johnson Jersey .C. Now hes squarely in the U.S. capital and helping the Washington Wizards playoff drive. John Wall scored 33 points, Gooden got 11 of his 21 in the final quarter and the Wizards overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit for a 101-94 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. "You guys joke about me being old, but Im still Drew Gooden," the 32-year-old said. "And thats what I do. Once I see a couple going in I feel like I cant miss. Tonight the ball was definitely on my side and it dropped for me tonight." Goodens 3-pointer broke a 94-94 tie with 2:37 left. Trevor Ariza then scored off an offensive rebound with 44 seconds left and Wall capped it with dunk. Washington completed a sweep of the season series (3-0) and moved ahead of Brooklyn for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The game between two teams that could meet in the post-season had a playoff atmosphere in front of the Wizards third sellout of the season. "The longer we go here, the more games are going to feel like that. I thought the fans in the building were electric, all night," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "Our guys played off of that and it was an intense game, there is no question about that." Wittman said Gooden -- who added nine rebounds -- Harrington, and Andre Miller provided a lift off the bench. "A couple times early in the first half, (the game) was tinkering on a break point," Wittman said. "I thought our guys, Drew, Andre and Al, changed the tone of the game when they went in. Their physicality bled under the other guys." With starting centre/forward Nene sidelined (sprained left knee), the Wizards signed Gooden -- now in his 11th NBA season -- to a 10-day contract on Feb. 26 and another on March 8. Soon theyll have to decide whether or not to keep him for the remainder of the season. "Obviously Drew came out, and those are things he can do, he can make shots," Wittman said. Washingtons Bradley Beal, who sprained an ankle in Friday nights overtime win at Orlando, started and added 15 points. The Nets, who went the final 6:22 without a field goal, were led by Marcus Thorntons 19 points. Joe Johnson added 16 and Paul Pierce had 15. "We got great looks, it just didnt go down," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "We executed plays, I think we might have gotten a little frustrated on the defensive end, when we were giving up shots, and that led to the carry-over on the offensive end." Thornton opened the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer that gave Brooklyn an 82-72 lead. "Thats a chance when you could put a team on its back, when you go up double figures. ..." Pierce said. "But we never could give them that big hit. And they kept grinding, kept grinding, and got back in the game." The Wizards went on a 15-4 run keyed by Gooden (8 of 11 from the field) and Harrington. Harrington started things off when he scored four points and picked up a steal that led to a basket by Beal. Then with the Wizards trailing by three, Gooden hit a layup and then a jumper from the wing that gave Washington an 87-86 lead, its first of the half. "I thought in the fourth quarter we got down and defended," Wittman said. "We didnt take any shortcuts." Thornton answered for New Jersey, making a 3 and following with a driving bank shot to put Brooklyn up 91-87 midway through the quarter. The Wizards tied it at 92 on Walls free throw. Wall nearly brought the Wizards all the way back in the third, when he scored 15 points. The Wizards cut a 12-point deficit to 63-62 before Brooklyn went on an 8-0 run. The Wizards, playing on back-to-back nights, trailed by seven after one and pulled to within 33-32 on Martell Websters 3-pointer early in the second quarter. NOTES: The Wizards improved to 17-16 at home. ... Washington last swept the Nets in 2009-10, when they took all four meetings. ... Brooklyn F Andrei Kirilenko returned after missing two games with a sprained ankle. ... Nets C Jason Collins, who signed a contract for the remainder of the season Saturday, didnt see action. ... Pierce (24,819) passed Patrick Ewing for 18th place on the NBAs career points list. Shelby Miller Jersey .

As the 2016/17 season draws closer, Sky Sports investigate the cutting-edge technology being used by Premier League clubs... Pre-season is a crucial period as clubs prepare for the new campaign, but how do they make sure their players are in peak physical condition for the gruelling months ahead?Pep Guardiola has banned pizza and fruit juice at Manchester City while Antonio Conte is reportedly pushing his players to new extremes at Chelsea, but for many of the biggest sides at home and abroad, cutting-edge technology from STATSports is at the heart of preparations. The Northern Ireland-based company, founded in 2007, have become a pioneering influence in the sports science industry, and their player tracking and analysis equipment is used by 14 Premier League clubs, a host of international teams and European giants such as Barcelona and Juventus. Barcelonas Lionel Messi wore a Viper pod in the opening weeks of last season The key component of the system is the Viper pod, a matchbox-sized GPS device which sits between the shoulder blades, where it monitors heart rate and measures various aspects of physiological performance. The black vests which hold them in place have become a common sight on training grounds up and down the country, and the pods can be worn during matches, too.Lionel Messi was seen wearing a Viper pod in the opening games of last season as Barcelona carefully eased him back into domestic action after an arduous summer at the Copa America, and the technologys popularity has risen sharply in recent years. Richard Byrne, the head of business development at STATSports, explains how it works. Arsenal were one of the first Premier League sides to sign up for STATSports Its function is to collect all of a players performance data, Byrne tells Sky Sports. That means basic things like distance covered and running speed, but also more in-depth metrics we have developed such as step balance and stress loads, really intricate details on performance, fitness and well-being. Premier League clubs using STATSports Arsenal Bournemouth Burnley Crystal Palace Everton Liverpool Manchester City Manchester United Southampton Stoke Sunderland Swansea Tottenham West Ham The pods collect vast quantities of data which is picked up by an antennae at the side of the pitch and processed by STATSports software. Coaching staff then use the live stats to monitor performance, allowing them to compile reports and make informed decisions on what players should and shouldnt be doing on the pitch. Technical staff at Greek side Olympiakos monitor STATSport data during training Sunderland are one of the Premier League clubs using the equipment. We use it every day, in every session, and weve used it in every pre-season game so far this summer, their first team sports scientist Paul Walsh tells Sky Sports. Its quite an integral part of the whole backroom teams work.The GPS gear has just become part of the players kit for training now, adds Walsh. Theyve got their boots, shorts, socks, and their GPS vests and heart rate monitors. Curt Schilling Jersey. Its just become a staple throughout much of the Premier League. You see players with the vests on all over the place.The technology allows clubs like Sunderland to tailor their players workloads individually and fine-tune their training through the week. Every day well have a different flavour to it, explains Walsh. The further away you are from a game, the more work will go in on the training field. So as you get closer to the game, the workload will taper off so the players are fresh. Sunderlands Lee Cattermole and Liam Bridcutt pictured wearing STATSport vests As well as heart rate and distance covered, Sunderland use the equipment to monitor metrics such as high speed running, acceleration and deceleration. Their former manager Sam Allardyce is known for his keen interest in sports science, and Walsh says the newly-appointed David Moyes has already expressed similar enthusiasm.Its very quick and easy to use, he says. Within 15 minutes of training weve got a report upstairs to the coaching staff and the medical team. So everyone will have an idea how hard each session was for each player. That will then support decisions that are being made throughout the week. Peps pre-season impact We take a look at the changes Pep Guardiola has made to Manchester Citys pre-season. The technology is also used to assess whether players are at risk of exasperating a fitness issue. Running with more weight on one foot than the other, for example, can be a sign that a player is subconsciously compensating for an injury. We look out for abnormalities or sudden spikes in the data, says Walsh. That might be a little red flag to raise a conversation with a player or the medical team.The idea is to prevent soft-tissue injuries, and Byrne reveals that one of STATSports major European clients cut their total of such injuries from 44 to just 22 in the year they started using the equipment. Keeping your players on the pitch is obviously the key to winning at the top level, so that was great to hear, he says. Jurgen Klopp oversees Liverpool players wearing Viper pods For the players, it all adds up to constant scrutiny. Theres certainly no hiding place in football anymore, because everything is analysed so much, says Walsh, who adds that the Sunderland squad have embraced the technology wholeheartedly.They have really bought into it, he says. One of the things we provide is maximum speeds from each session, and some of the really quick players love to see who got the quickest speed. They are all really interested in what they do. It does make your life easier when you have that buy-in from the players. We use it to push them on.
