CLEVELAND -- Roy Hibbert scored 18 points and Lance Stephenson added a season-high 16 to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 99-89 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost their sixth straight game Friday night. Hibbert didnt have to deal with injured Cavs centre Anderson Varejao, the NBAs leading rebounder. Varejao missed his second game in a row with a bruised right knee. David West added 15 points and 10 rebounds and Gerald Green had 14 points -- with a ferocious dunk -- as the Pacers won for the fifth time in six games. Kyrie Irving scored 17 points on just 5-of-16 shooting for the Cavs, who are 1-11 in their last 12 games. Tristan Thompson of Toronto had 12 points and 13 rebounds for Cleveland, 3-21 in its past 24. With Varejao on the bench in street clothes, the Pacers enjoyed a size advantage inside and they outrebounded the Cavaliers 44-35. Hibbert spent the last 5 minutes on the bench after picking up his fifth foul, but by then Indiana led by double digits and rolled to a relatively easy win. Stephenson went 7 of 8 from the floor and added seven assists. With the Pacers leading by nine early in the fourth quarter, Green, the leagues slam dunk champion in 2007, delivered a jam certain to make highlight reels for the next few days. Driving the left side, he soared in the lane and hammered the ball in over Clevelands Samardo Samuels, who could do nothing to stop it. Green stared at Samuels and was given a technical foul, but the damage was done. Indianas Paul George, scoreless at halftime, had eight points and four steals in the third quarter, when the Pacers outscored the Cavaliers 33-22 to take a 10-point lead into the fourth. During an 18-5 run by the Pacers, George stole a lazy pass by rookie Tyler Zeller, drove for a layup and was fouled. He missed his free throw, but George poked the ball away from an unsuspecting Zeller and threw down a two-handed dunk to give the Pacers a 69-55 lead. Cavs coach Byron Scott decided to rest Varejao for the second straight game rather than risk losing him for several more. The 6-foot-11 Brazilian will also probably sit out Saturdays game in Milwaukee, giving him additional time to heal before the Cavs play again on Dec. 26. Varejao, who is averaging 14.4 rebounds and playing at an All-Star level, bruised his knee on Tuesday night against Toronto. Irving had a puzzling first half and a disappointing game. He scored just five points on 1-of-4 shooting and had four turnovers by halftime. On one of them, he drove the lane and badly overthrew the 7-foot Zeller but then showed some outward disappointment toward his teammate, who would have needed a step ladder to catch Irvings pass. Other than an eight-point flurry in the third quarter, Irving never found his groove on offence and settled for jump shots instead of driving to the basket. Sparked by a 3-pointer from Green, the Pacers used a 12-2 run in the second quarter to open a 41-36 lead. Notes: Not long after his big dunk, Green left with a sprained left ankle. ...

Cheap nfl Jerseys .C. Sherritt looked like he might become an afterthought with the Edmonton Eskimos.LATROBE, Pa. -- Emmanuel Sanders caught a touchdown pass running a fade route during a drill Saturday. Then after Pittsburgh Steelers receivers, defensive backs and quarterbacks turned around en masse and headed to the opposite end of Chuck Noll Field, Sanders caught another touchdown pass on the next play. That was streaking across the back of the end zone during an 11-on-11 drill. Later in practice, he added another score when he reeled in a pass with his fingertips along the end zones left sideline and capped off his "four-touchdown day" by catching a Ben Roethlisberger pass in stride as he was sprinting down the right sideline. All in all, a good training camp day for Sanders. Then again, any training camp day is a good one for Sanders -- as long as hes not in pain. Coming off an injury-filled season that included a camp in which he was rehabbing both feet after off-season surgery, Sanders says hes healthy, happy and ready for a breakout season. "Oh my God, you have no idea, man," Sanders said when asked how much better he feels this training camp as opposed to the previous one. "Last year around this time, I was down and out. And now I have an appreciation for training camp. A lot of those guys are like, Argh, I gotta go to training camp. Im like, Yes! Lets go to training camp! Im healthy, Im finally here. So you know Im enjoying it each day." Sanders is running as the teams second receiver, too, with Mike Wallaces holdout well into its second week. Known as an ambitious, hard worker through his college and young pro career, Sanders spent his off-season mostly staying off his feet -- and with some dramatically more pedestrian goals. "My main goal this off-season was to stay healthy," he said. Sanders broke his right foot during the February 2011 Super Bowl at the end of his rookie season. Later that off-season -- one in which there was no minicamp or OTAs due to the lockout -- Sanders had surgerry on the left foot.dddddddddddd The result was a disjointed camp and start to the season. Sanders missed five games for the Steelers (No. 7 in the AP Pro32) due to injury and caught only 22 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns. Sanders had a team-high six receptions for a career-high 81 yards in Pittsburghs wild-card playoff loss in Denver. Hes hoping that can serve as a springboard heading into this season. A third-round pick after setting SMU career records for receptions, touchdown catches and yards, Sanders has been wowing coaches and teammates on the practice field throughout his brief NFL career with his speed, hands, route-running and quickness. Its time to translate that to games, he said. "My past three years I felt like I was working so hard, like I had something to prove in practice and things of that nature," Sanders said. "But all this practicing does me no good. I need to make it to the games, so thats my main focus." With Hines Ward retired and Wallaces arrival in camp uncertain, Sanders could be in line for an increased workload. If he can avoid injury. "Hes healthy, hes doing a nice job, hes prepared," coach Mike Tomlin said. "Hes a quality player. He understands the receiver position, buying space for himself. Hes been doing a nice job." Notes: Tomlin had some fun with reporters who asked why Roethlisberger sat out the tail end of practice: "Somebody stepped on his foot. You guys sure love the Ben updates." ... A day after G Willie Colon (ankle) and RB Isaac Redman (groin) sustained minor injuries during a practice at a local high school, neither practiced Saturday. Tomlin termed both "day to day." ... The Steelers ran the goal-line drill in practice, with Tomlin declaring the defence the winner in the best-of-seven format of snaps from the 1 1/2-yard line. ... LBs Ryan Baker and Brandon Johnson each sustained ankle injuries Saturday. ' ' '
