RALEIGH, N. cheap nfl jerseys .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team. Demonstrating that newfound sense of camaraderie, Jets players wanted to win Tuesday nights game against Carolina in part because Maurice coached 920 games for the Hurricanes franchise. "We all understand his past and what he meant to this organization as far as the Hurricanes," Thorburn said. "We were playing for him as well as the two points." Winnipeg accomplished both goals when Thorburn scored the tiebreaker with 1:03 remaining to lift the Jets to a 2-1 win over the Hurricanes. It was Thorburns second goal of the season. Andrew Ladd also scored for the Jets, who are 9-2-0 since Maurice took over as coach on Jan. 12. Despite his players sentiments, Maurice said the game had no special significance for him. "This isnt my first tour through here, but we all care about each other in there, so Im taking it," he said. Winnipeg took the lead when Jacob Trouba circled around the net and sent the puck across the crease to Thorburn, who knocked it past goalie Anton Khudobin. "Great confidence in a young man to want to make the play that decides the game," Maurice said of Trouba, the young defenceman who asserted himself on the game-winner. "Not sit back and not want to make a mistake -- he wants the puck on his stick." Ondrej Pavelec made 28 saves for the Jets. Riley Nash scored for Carolina, and Khudobin made 25 saves. The Hurricanes went 10-4-0 in January and had won five of six, but their offence sputtered in this tight-checking game. "Two mistakes cost us two goals tonight," coach Kirk Muller said. "But overall, I thought our guys played hard and competed and skated and did a lot of good things -- just not the outcome we wanted." Winnipeg opened the scoring 12:57 into the second period when Michael Frolik skated past Carolina defenceman Justin Faulk on a rush down the left wing. Khudobin stopped Froliks shot, but Ladd batted the rebound into the net. Ladd, who has seven points in his last six games, was a member of the Hurricanes when they won the Stanley Cup in 2006. "Its always fun to score against your former team," Ladd said. "I get up for these games. You always have a little chip on your shoulder for a team thats traded you away." The Jets got a boost when they killed off a 51-second two-man advantage for the Hurricanes late in the second period. Carolinas John-Michael Liles hit the post with a slap shot during that stretch. Carolina tied it at 1 early in the third period. After the Hurricanes skated into the zone, Drayson Bowman tried to control the puck in the slot. Bowman couldnt get his stick on it, but the puck came to Nash, who snapped it past Pavelec. NOTES: Carolina began the night having played the fewest games in the NHL. ...

Then they lost Stephen Jackson to a suspension just a few hours before tipoff. They didnt need either player to beat Los Angeles on Saturday night -- another sign of just how bad the Lakers have been on the road this season. Drew Gooden scored 23 points and the undermanned, undersized Bucks beat the Lakers 100-89. "I mean, what are you going to do?" Milwaukees Mike Dunleavy said. "Boguts not going to come in with a better ankle. Were not going to get Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. So we know that weve got to play these big guys with guys with lesser size, but you do it with hard work and toughness." Kobe Bryant scored 27 with nine assists and eight rebounds, but it wasnt enough to keep the Lakers from falling to 1-7 on the road this season. Bryant didnt have an explanation for the Lakers road woes, but said he and Lakers coach Mike Brown would meet to try and figure it out. "We will have to put our heads together," Bryant said. "Me and Coach Brown will have to sit down and think of what is going on and how we can be a much better road team." Ersan Ilyasova and Dunleavy added 15 points each for the Bucks. With Bogut out, the Lakers tried to take advantage of their pair of 7-footers, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum. It wasnt as easy as it seemed going in. "In the first half, we did a decent job," Gasol said. "In the second half, there were not many touches. Defensively there was no excuse, (weve) got to do better. They were beating us all over the court." Bynum scored 15 points with nine rebounds. Gasol had 12 points and 15 rebounds, but shot 6 for 18 from the floor. "It means a lot, especially with Bogut not being there," said Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, the defensive ace who spent much of the evening hounding Bryant. "Hes always our anchor down there in the front line. For us to go out there and make it tough on a guy like Gasol, its big. Thats probably the reason why we won the game." Brown said he saw his team playing on its heels. "Milwaukee was just more physical than us," Brown said. "They got up into us, they bothered us, they pressured us." Bryant did make six free throws to break Jerry Wests franchise record for free throws made. Coming into Saturdays game, Bryant needed three makes to tie Wests mark of 7,160. Bryant also came closer to becomming the Lakers career leader in field goals made. Cheap NFL Jerseys China. He was 10 of 21 from the floor Saturday, leaving him three short of tying Abdul-Jabbars franchise record of 9,935. Bryant said the Lakers arent panicking. "In this locker room, I dont think so," Bryant said. "Theres concern and determination that we want to fix things. If we solve that issue, then well be all right." The Bucks managed to beat the Lakers without Jackson, whose suspension was announced a few hours before the game. The NBA suspended Jackson one game for verbal abuse of a game official and failure to leave the court in a timely manner at the end of the Bucks 107-100 loss at Chicago on Friday night. Its another rough moment for Jackson, who was benched by coach Scott Skiles in the Bucks Jan. 20 game at the New York Knicks. Bogut, meanwhile, fractured his left ankle in Wednesdays game at Houston and is expected to miss up to 12 weeks. Even without Bogut and Jackson, the Bucks were in control most of the way Saturday. Ilyasova hit a jumper at the horn to end the third quarter, and the Bucks took an 80-73 lead into the fourth. The Bucks led 85-76 after an inside score from Ilyasova with just under eight minutes left, but Bryant scored five straight points to cut the lead to four. Mbah a Moute hit a jumper, then Gooden scored on a turnaround hook shot and hit a pair of free throws to run the lead back to 91-81. Andrew Bynum scored inside, but Dunleavy hit a long jumper to give the Bucks a 93-83 lead with just over two minutes left. After Bryant made a pair of free throws, Dunleavy drilled a three-pointer to put the game away with 1:24 left. Lakers rookie guard Andrew Goudelock scored 13 points despite being hospitalized for dehydration overnight. Goudelock was coming off his best performance of the year, having scored a career-high 14 points against the Clippers on Wednesday. And in terms of contributions from the Lakers reserves, that was about it. The Bucks, meanwhile, got big nights from Ilyasova and Dunleavy off the bench. "We needed pretty much everybody," Mbah a Moute said. "I think everybody tonight came in and had good effort. We need to sustain that for the rest of this season, with Bogut not being there." Notes: The Bucks bench outscored the Lakers 37-24. ... It was the 12th game in a row and 15th of the season in which the Bucks had at least one reserve score in double figures. ... Saturdays attendance was 18,027, the largest Bucks crowd of the season to date. ' ' '
