| Stunning Berbatov volley gives Fulham win over Stoke Posted: 23 Feb 2013 07:14 AM PST  Fulham's Berbatov controls the ball during their English Premier League soccer match against West Ham at Craven Cottage in London The former Bulgaria captain, making his 200th Premier League appearance, found the top corner with a brilliantly-executed right foot shot that gave Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic no chance and proved to be the match-winner at Craven Cottage. Stoke spurned an excellent chance to equalise in the 56th minute when John Walters' poorly taken penalty, awarded after Ashkan Dejagah was adjudged to have handled a Brek Shea pass, was saved low to his right by keeper Mark Schwarzer. It was only Fulham's fourth win in their last 19 league matches and their first clean sheet at home for 10 games as they moved up to 11th in the table with 32 points from 27 games, one place and a point behind Stoke. Five other league matches are taking place at 1500 GMT including league leaders Manchester United's visit to bottom-placed Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road. — Reuters |
| Jack powers Warriors past road-weary Spurs Posted: 23 Feb 2013 01:03 AM PST  Golden State Warriors Jack celebrates after making a three-point basket against the San Antonio Spurs late in regulation play during the second half of their NBA basketball game in Oakland. — Reuters pic The win snapped Golden State's 16-game losing streak to San Antonio. The Warriors last beat the Spurs in 2008. Jack came up big in the fourth quarter and overtime, scoring 17 of his 30 points. He finished the game with 10 assists. David Lee broke loose for 25 points and 22 rebounds for the Warriors, who trailed by 13 points midway the fourth quarter. Stephen Curry added 19 points. The come-from-behind victory ended a five-game winning streak by the league-leading Spurs, who have not played a home game since February 2. Tim Duncan had 19 points and 13 rebounds for San Antonio with Danny Green finishing with 20 and Tony Parker 18. It took a layup by San Antonio's Manu Ginobili on a pass from Duncan with four seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Then, after Tiago Splitter's inside shot had given San Antonio its last lead with two minutes remaining in the extra session, Golden State scored in streaks. The Warriors ran off six consecutive points, four by Jack, and never trailed again, scoring the game's final five points on free throws after San Antonio had pulled with one. — Reuters |
