FOXBOROUGH, Mass. James Daniels Bears Jersey . - Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney wanted to find out more about his teams collective character ahead of Saturdays season finale against the Revolution. And he certainly did, but not in the manner he imagined.After keeping the post-season bound Revolution at bay for much of the first half, Toronto found themselves on the wrong side of a controversial call that allowed Lee Nguyen to score the game-winner and were forced to stomach a 1-0 loss at Gillette Stadium.On the play in question, Jose Goncalves played a ball down the wing to Chris Tierney, who appeared to be in an offside position when the pass was made. The linesman raised his flag, but referee Ricardo Salazar never blew his whistle, as Tierney played it inside the box for Nguyen, who took a couple of touches before he slotted it through in front of a pair of Toronto defenders who had their hands raised.I thought we were excellent, Vanney said. I think that the missed call that ends being a goal was a kick in the groin for our guys, emotionally because, at the end of the day, were digging deep to play with everything that we have in this game.Although the goal stood at the end of 90 minutes, Vanney was pleased with the way his club — which was eliminated from post-season contention last week — performed against the second-place Revolution.Leading up to what many had deemed a meaningless match for both sides, Vanney stressed the importance of possession and playing sound defence. And to Torontos credit, they stayed faithful to that approach.On the last night of a disappointing regular season, the Reds held the possession at a 59.3 per cent clip and completed 82.5 per cent of their passes. By taking care of the fundamentals, they were able to create opportunities.In the eighth minute, Dominic Oduro crossed it inside the area, where Gilberto blasted it full volley off the crossbar, signalling to the 32,677 on hand that Toronto wouldnt go quietly into the off-season.We dominated the ball, and we were focused and committed to the match, Toronto captain Steve Caldwell said. I think, overall, 50/50 (balls) we were excellent. But we probably couldve created more chances.Despite winning the possession battle, Torontos opportunities would be few and far between for the duration of the game. Gilbertos shot would be the only shot on goal for the guests before halftime, and they wouldnt fare much better after the break.Torontos best chance at equalizing came in the 75th minute. Mark Bloom crossed it ahead for Luke Moore in front of frame, where he snapped a header that Bobby Shuttleworth tipped over the bar.We came into second half forgetting about what had happened (on Nguyens goal), Caldwell said. We had a lot of the ball, and we left a little bit behind (defensively), which we had to do to get chances.While the gambles going forward didnt hurt Toronto on the scoreboard, the advances failed to produce the equalizer. But even though they came up short, Vanney credited his players for their collective effort.In Vanneys view, the team never deviated from the game plan — take care of the ball — even after Nguyens controversial goal. They couldve sulked about it and let their emotions get the best of them. Instead, they recommitted themselves after the break, and went toe-to-toe with the playoff-bound Revolution for the final 45 minutes.Im proud that they went with what we tried to do, Vanney said. I thought they were doing it very well, and that for me shows a lot of character and a lot of thought and togetherness. Trey Burton Bears Jersey .

In question is whether 26-year-old Matt Frattin will be on it. A a€?mediocrea€? training camp, as Carlyle put it earlier this week, has Frattin lingering nervously on the bubble at the end of the exhibition season, pushed out of a likely job by Brandon Kozun, the small, but feisty winger determined to make the NHL for the first time. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Joel-Iyiegbuniwe-Jersey/ .

While Kevin Durants Oklahoma City Thunder continued their early season roll Friday night. Durant had 31 points, eight rebounds and five assists, Russell Westbrook added 19 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds and the Thunder routed the Los Angeles Lakers 122-97. Serge Ibaka added 19 points and 10 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the season and Reggie Jackson also scored 19 for Oklahoma City, which has won five straight and 13 of its past 14 games. The Thunder are unbeaten in 11 home games this season and have won four straight at home over the Lakers. "We have a pretty good team," Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said. "Thats been the case for a while now. One of the things that I tell the guys, every season has its own identity. "We started the season knowing that we wanted to ... just continue to build trust in each other and just focus on each other and not worry about anything else, but trying to make your teammates look good. Its early, but weve done a great job with that." Los Angeles has lost all three games since Bryants return from a torn Achilles tendon. Bryant had 13 assists -- just two shy of his career high -- but showed little of his trademark offensive ability, finishing with four points on 2-of-6 shooting. He played 23 minutes and sat out the fourth quarter with the game out of hand. "There is no secret formula that you can sprinkle out there," Los Angeles coach Mike DAntoni said. "Hell get more comfortable, then the guys will get more comfortable around him and then hell do a better job." Nick Young led the Lakers with 17 points. Xavier Henry, playing in his hometown, scored 15 points for Los Angeles while Pau Gasol had 14 points and seven rebounds. Oklahoma City made quick work of the Lakers, setting season highs with 38 points in the first quarter and 66 points in the first half. Oklahoma Citys lead was mostly in double digits from the three-minute mark of the first quarter on. The Thunder finished with a season-high 34 assists and outrebounded the Lakers 59-41. "Theyre a good team and they just beat us," DAntoni said. "Thats number one. Our defence is not keeping it in front of us right now and offensive rebounds, its been a problem for us for a while. We turn the ball over too much. Its a combination of them outrunning us and them getting to the boards." The Lakers played without three injured point guards -- Steve Nash, Jordan Farmar and Steve Blake -- forcing Bryant intto the position even as he works his way back from his injury. Taylor Gabriel Bears Jersey. Los Angeles committed 19 turnovers, including seven by Bryant. Los Angeles jumped to a quick 13-7 lead and briefly looked as if it might stay with the Thunder, but Durant exited a timeout with a dunk and a 16-foot jumper to ignite an 18-3 run that put Oklahoma City in control. A 10-0 run by the Lakers early in the second quarter pulled them within 44-38, but Oklahoma City answered with a 12-0 spurt and the lead remained in double digits the rest of the way. The Thunder led 66-51 at halftime and werent challenged after that. As good as theyve been playing, Durant said the Thunder still have room for improvement. "We just want to play our best brand of basketball at the right time," he said. "But we cant do that unless we focus on today. Today we did a good job of playing together and playing hard on the defensive end. We cant think about April. Weve got to get past these days. "We can be a lot better. There are a lot of things we need to work on -- transition defence, rebounding, passing. On offence weve got to flow a little better. But our chemistry is growing. Thats the most important thing." On the Lakers first two possessions, Bryant was tied up by Oklahoma City rookie Andre Roberson, then had the ball stolen by Westbrook. Bryant didnt take a shot until making a steal that led to a breakaway with 3:50 left in the first quarter, but he eschewed dunking the ball, instead laying it off the backboard. Bryant went 2 of 2 from the field in the first half and was a bit more aggressive after halftime, but missed all four of his shots. It was his second single-digit scoring outing since returning from his injury on Sunday. Westbrooks double-double was his fifth of the season. Durant finished 10 of 13 from the field while Ibaka went 8 of 13. Wesley Johnson added 13 points for Los Angeles.
