Kansas City, MO - Tight end Tony Gonzalez made it official on Monday, announcing his retirement following 17 stellar seasons. Authentic Rudy Gay Jersey . Gonzalez participated in his final game on Sunday, Atlantas 21-20 defeat at the hands of the NFC South champion Carolina Panthers, having posted four catches for 46 yards. That gave him 83 receptions for 859 yards and eight touchdowns in 16 games this past season for the Falcons. "It went exactly as I thought it would go ... except for the win," Gonzalez said of his last time on an NFL field. "Im so flattered and so thankful that Ive been a part of this organization for the last five years. My career has turned out to be something more than I ever thought and more than I ever dreamed." Originally a 13th-round pick of the Chiefs back in 1997, Gonzalez made his debut for Kansas City later that year. He departed following the 2008 campaign having totaled team records of 916 catches, 10,940 yards and 76 touchdowns, along with 26 games of at least 100 yards receiving. The California product exits the game as the lone tight end in NFL annals to produce four 1,000-yard receiving seasons. "On behalf of the entire Chiefs family, I want to congratulate Tony on an incredible career," Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. "What he was able to accomplish during his time in the NFL is truly remarkable, and I have no doubt that Tony is a first-ballot hall of famer. We were very blessed to have him in a Chiefs uniform for 12 seasons, and his contributions on and off the field were extraordinary and will never be forgotten. I want to thank Tony for his time in Kansas City and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. He will always be considered a part of the Chiefs family." All told, the 37-year-old native of southern California participated in 270 regular-season games (254 starts), and earned a Pro Bowl selection on 13 occasions. He set an NFL-record for catches by a tight end with 1,325 receptions for 15,127 yards and 111 TDs. Authentic Sean Elliott Jersey . Those cheers seemed more special this time because the captains run on Broadway could soon be over. The adoration surely sounded much nicer to Callahan than all the recent trade talk. Authentic David Robinson Jersey . The team sent out a press release on Friday stating Poile was resting and recovering and that he will remain in hospital for further observation.

After beginning the season 4-3, allowing 100.9 points on 47 per cent shooting, Miamis resurgent defence has vaulted them back to the top of a weak Eastern Conference.LOS ANGELES -- Nobody in the Minnesota locker room had to say much before the game about the Timberwolves 22-game losing streak to the Lakers. The Wolves mostly knew about their dismal history in this matchup, and they came out apparently determined to rewrite it in the first quarter alone. Kevin Martin scored 27 points, Kevin Love had 18 of his 25 during Minnesotas 47-point opening quarter in a skid-snapping 113-90 victory Sunday night. Ricky Rubio had 12 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who hadnt beaten the Lakers since March 6, 2007. Minnesota took a 28-point lead with a 27-2 run, reducing the Staples Center crowd to scattered boos during the highest-scoring quarter in the Timberwolves franchise history. The Wolves maintained a healthy advantage all night in their first win over the Lakers at Staples Center since Dec. 2, 2005, ending the longest active streak between two NBA opponents. "We had lost so many straight to the Lakers that we thought we were due for one," said Love, who also had 13 rebounds while hitting four 3-pointers. "We knew, the guys that had played here. We had talked about it, that we hadnt had much success, but we werent thinking about anything numbers-wise. We just wanted to come out and think about this year." Minnesota won with ease -- something thats almost never happened in this matchup. Corey Brewer scored 17 points and Nikola Pekovic had 14 points and 10 rebounds as the Wolves punctuated their 5-2 start to the season by routing sending the Lakers crowd home early. Martin had another monster game in his strong start to the season, improving to 18 for 28 on 3-pointers in the last five games while averaging 27 points. And Rubio supplemented his second career triple-double with five steals, becoming just the second player in franchise history with at least five steals during a triple-double game. "Everybody was making shots," said Rubio, the first opponent to record a triple-double against the Lakers since LeBron James on Christmas 2010. "We knew wed lost the last 22 or something like that. It was a good game for us to end it." Steve Blake scored 19 points with five 3-pointers, and Jodie Meeks added 16 for the Lakers, who have lost five of seven -- and got even more injury concern about one of their stars. Steve Nash played 13 minutes before sitting out with a back injury for Los Angeles, which never got closer than 14 points down the sttretch. Authentic Tony Parker Jersey. Nash, the NBAs oldest player at 39, will be evaluated on Monday by Dr. Robert Watkins, who performed Dwight Howards back surgery last year. The Lakers have kept Nash out of the lineup twice already this season to preserve his health, but Nashs back has bothered him for years. "You could call it back, nerves, pain in the hamstring," Nash said. "It all gets a little convoluted, but its all basically the same since last year. ... Im just trying to figure it out, trying to play through it and at the same time be smart. Its tough. I really want to play. To be so limited is frustrating." Pau Gasol managed just 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Lakers, who had won 13 straight at home over Minnesota. Kobe Bryant played in all but one game during the Lakers winning streak in this matchup, but the fourth-leading scorer in NBA history still isnt close to making his season debut after surgery in April. The Wolves sizzled from the start, with Martin and Love humiliating the Lakers defenders with a series of increasingly improbable jumpers and drives. Los Angeles largely failed to defend the perimeter, but Martin and Love also hit shots in tight coverage while making 12 of their 14 first-quarter shots. "We came out soft," Los Angeles coach Mike DAntoni said. "They made some tough shots, but they did score 47 points. And I dont care what kind of shots they made. There just wasnt enough intensity into the defence, and we paid for it." Minnesota led 17-14 before scoring 27 of the next 29 points in a vicious 4:47 span, starting with three consecutive 3-pointers. JJ Bareas layup put the Wolves up 44-16, and they finished the quarter with a 47-23 lead. "Forty-seven points in one quarter ... its outrageous," Gasol said. The Timberwolves cooled off from there, but were too far ahead to be threatened. The Lakers trimmed the lead to 90-76 heading to the fourth quarter after 11 third-quarter points from Blake and nine more from Meeks, but Rubio and Brewer kept the Wolves ahead down the stretch. NOTES: Minnesota stays in the building to face the Clippers on Monday night. The Lakers return Tuesday to host New Orleans after last weeks loss to the Pelicans. ... UCLA product Shabazz Muhammad got no discernible reaction when he entered the game for Minnesota in the fourth quarter. ... Xavier Henry had a career-high eight rebounds for the Lakers, but he struggled again with 1-for-8 shooting.
