DENVER -- Andre Iguodalas defensive stop in the final moments helped the Nuggets survive a nerve-racking finish against the Pacers. . Iguodala made a free throw with 0.4 seconds remaining after forcing a turnover to deny a last-second shot by Indiana, and Denver won 102-101 Monday night. "Ill admit I was a little nervous (about) missing those other free throws," said Iguodala, who had misfired on four consecutive free throws earlier in the fourth quarter. "But we put ourselves in a bad position by giving up some buckets. "Up 12 and put yourself in a position to give it away. But take a positive out of it, that you were able to gut it out. Got a big defensive stop and then got lucky and hit a free throw." Iguodala finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, making up for his 5-of-10 shooting from the free throw line with the one at the end along with the defensive play of the game when he stole the ball from Paul George as the Pacers guard manoeuvred for a potential game-winning shot. "Its happened a couple of times, last-second shots and guys have come at me," said Iguodala. "Its so surprising. Im like, Really? I take pride in being a defender and getting stops." Iguodala signalled for time out with 0.5 seconds remaining. On the inbounds, Andre Miller lobbed a pass toward the basket that Iguodala and George both went after with George making contact and getting called for the foul. "I knew he was going to throw it up," Iguodala said of the lob that both he and George jumped for. "I was just trying to get my feet set to go get it. George was off balance. It was kind of a pass interference play, and it just happened to work for us." Iguodala coolly sank the tiebreaker and missed the second on purpose and the buzzer sounded as the ball rattled off the backboard. George, who led the Pacers with 23 points, declined to comment after the game. His teammate, David West, said the Pacers had their chances after coming back from a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit. "We did a good job of fighting back under the circumstances," West said. "We were right there. We had opportunities. We just didnt get a chance to decide it. You just dont expect a whistle to be blown in that situation. They basically had one option and that was the option. You dont expect it, but stranger things have happened." Danilo Gallinari had 27 points to lead the Nuggets, who won their fourth straight. Ty Lawson added 18 points and Corey Brewer had 16. Lance Stephenson scored 20 points and West finished with 17 for the Pacers, who lost their third in a row, matching a season high. The Nuggets got 10 points from Timofey Mozgov, who moved up in the rotation to play significant minutes in place of injured JaVale McGee. The 7-foot McGee was sidelined by soreness in his left shin. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday to try to determine the severity of the injury. Denver also was without another top reserve, Wilson Chandler, a late scratch because of a left groin strain. After Stephenson made a layup to pull the Pacers within a point with 5:47 remaining in the third, the Nuggets scored 10 of the next 13 points en route to taking an 82-74 lead into the fourth quarter. Gallinari got the run going by converting a three-point play and sinking a 3-pointer the next time down the floor. Lawsons layup capped a 6-0 run and put the Nuggets up 96-82 with 6:44 remaining. Roy Hibbert started a tying 13-0 run for the Pacers as he broke free underneath for a dunk and George had a four-point play to pull the Pacers to 99-97 with 3:08 remaining. Iguodala went to the line twice in the next minute but missed four throws and Hill put in a floater from 10-feet away to even the score with 1:58 left. Gallinari made two free throws with 59.7 seconds left before West answered with a putback to re-tie the score at 101 with 38.6 seconds remaining. NOTES: The Nuggets did not make a field goal in the final 5:45. ... The Pacers re-signed F Sam Young, bringing him back to the team three weeks after releasing him. ... The Pacers have lost seven of their last eight games in Denver. ... Gallinari has led the Nuggets in scoring 14 times this season with the Nuggets going 11-3 in those games. ... Mozgovs 10 points represented a season-high. ... The Pacers have allowed at least 100 points in three consecutive games, a season high.

Cabreras home run gave the Tigers a five-run cushion they would end up needing and Justin Verlander struck out eight in seven innings in a 6-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday that gave them a two-game lead in the AL Central. . The 34-year-old Grimsby, Ont., native won her semi-final match on Day 13 of London 2012 over Colombias Jackeline Renteria Castillo 1-0, 1-0. Against the upstart Renteria Castillo, Verbeek showed her experience in a close first round, finding an opening in last 20 seconds to push her 26-year-old opponent through the passive zone for the only point of the round.

Standing outside the Brewers dugout, he was given the Silver Slugger award as the NLs top hitting left fielder from team owner Mark Attanasio.

He believes the same approach will lead Canada to its first Olympic berth since 2000, and he expects his players to buy in for the long haul. Just two weeks after the London Olympics closed, Triano and his coaching staff were putting a promising roster of players through shooting drills Monday at the end of a five-day training camp designed to prepare Canada for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games. . -- Casey Martin and his cart are headed back to The Olympic Club for the U.UFA, RUSSIA - Jonathan Drouins status for the World Junior Hockey Championship is in doubt after the Halifax Moosehead winger sustained an injury during Tuesdays practice. Hockey Canada registered only 22 players for the tournament after Drouin suffered what the team termed "a mild charleyhorse." "Canada has one available spot on its roster and can register a player up until two hours before a game for him to be eligible to play," the team said in a statement posted on its Twitter account (@HC_TeamCanada). Drouin will be reassessed on Wednesday before Canada opens the tournament against Germany. The injury appeared to happen near the end of the on-ice workout when Drouin was involved in an awkward collisionn during a drill.

After getting up he skated gingerly from the attacking zone to the defensive blue line and was seen wincing as he stretched out his leg. He was hunched over on his stick and drew the attention of assistant coach Mario Duhamel, who skated over to check on him. Drouin then took part in the end-of-practice stretch before quickly leaving the ice. Since the selection camp ended, Drouin has been part of Canadas second line with centre Ryan Strome and right winger Brett Ritchie. He has also been part of the second power-play unit. Canada is already down one forward after the IIHF suspended Boone Jenner for three games due to a late hit in Saturdays pre-tournament game against Sweden. ' ' '
