CALGARY -- Steven Blacks first-quarter touchdown was all the offence the B. wholesale nfl jerseys .C. Lions needed against the Calgary Stampeders on Wednesday night. Black hauled in a 16-yard pass from quarterback Travis Lulay to lead B.C. to a 24-0 win over the Stampeders at McMahon Stadium in the first CFL exhibition game for both teams. "Im hoping thats just the first of many to come this year," said Black, who caught five TD strikes as a Lions rookie last year. "Ive been working hard this season this off-season, so hopefully thatll pay off." So far in training camp, Lulay has seen he can count on Black as one of his go-to receivers. "Theres no question I think Steve is going to have an expanded role in our offence," said Lulay, who completed eight-of-13 passes for 114 yards in one quarter of action. "Hes a year better than he was. "It took him a little while to get up to speed, but by the end of the year he started to really develop into a weapon for us offensively. He demonstrated that more tonight. It was good for him to get his hands on a ball in the end zone early on." Kamau Peterson and Nick Moore also caught TD passes for the Lions. Paul McCallum added a field goal. Although it was just a pre-season win, B.C. coach Wally Buono was pleased with his teams effort. "The thing I was happy with was the two things that we feel weve improved upon and thats our quarterback and offensive line," Buono said. "I think it was evident were going to be better there." Meanwhile, all Calgary coach John Hufnagel could do afterwards was shake his head in disbelief. "I am concerned, but I do think theres players in that locker room that will respond," he said. "I was pleased I kept my composure and stayed with the gameplan of playing everybody." One bright spot for Calgary was cornerback Demetrice Morley, who had two first-half interceptions and missed adding another in the third quarter. With the off-season departure of all-star cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Dwight Anderson, the secondary is a question mark for the Stampeders in training camp. "I had a good night, but Im still upset by the ones that I left out there," Morley said. "Im just trying to put in hard work and let everybody know I come in here trying to work hard. "If theres an opportunity for me anywhere, Im going to take that chance and do what I have to do to get it." Lulay capped off a five-play, 65-yard drive at 11:43 of the first with his TD pass to Black. McCallum put the Lions up 10-0 just 39 seconds into the second with a 22-yard field goal. Calgary kicker Rob Maver missed two 48-yard field goal tries in the first half. Jarious Jackson replaced Lulay in the second but couldnt get much going. The Lions then took advantage two Calgary turnovers to go ahead 24-0 in the third. After Stamps centre Zac Carlson botched a snap to quarterback Drew Tate, the Lions recovered at the Calgary 10-yard line. That set up Jacksons 10-yard TD strike to Peterson at 1:56. Seven minutes later, third-string B.C. quarterback Mike Reilly threw a 15-yard TD pass to Moore following another fumble by Carlson just seven plays earlier. Calgary starter Henry Burris, the CFLs outstanding player last year, completed just 3-of-8 passes for 17 yards in the first. "The preseason games are usually the worst and the ugliest, but to not put any points up and not be consistent like we wanted to be, we do have to have a sense of urgency in practice this week," Burris said.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Danny Granger refuses to relax as he leads the Pacers toward their long-awaited playoff goal. The forward scored 17 points as Indiana beat Milwaukee 89-88 on Friday night, solidifying its position while pushing the Bucks to the brink of elimination in the Eastern Conference race. Granger has been the face of a franchise that has missed the playoffs the past four years. The Pacers currently are in the final playoff spot in the East, two games ahead of Charlotte and four ahead of Milwaukee with five to play. The Bobcats lost to Orlando 89-77 on Friday night, adding significance to Indianas victory. "Thats a huge win for us, especially considering Charlotte lost," Granger said. "Were one step closer. We just need to keep winning, and that will take care of everything." The Pacers thought they had gained control of the race when they won at Charlotte on March 23. Things quickly turned. "Charlotte, the last time we thought we put them out, they won two or three in a row, we lost two in a row" Granger said. "So you never know whats going to happen." The Bucks trailed the entire second half but could have won in the closing seconds, when Drew Gooden missed a three-pointer at the buzzer. "I was the last option, and it just called for me to pop back out if nobody was open," Gooden said. "So I got it. All I could do is fling it up there. I tried to get some contact on the arm and maybe get a call, but you saw the result. Just hit the back of the rim." The Bucks were trying to get the ball to John Salmons. "Wed like a better look than that," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "They did a nice job of defending. We werent exactly supposed to pop out there and end up with that one. But its the shot we got, and we just didnt make it." Now, the Bucks are nearly out of chances to save their season. Skiles was disappointed that his starters were outplayed with so much at stake. "We had to go to the bench, and those guys got us back in the game, but that shouldnt be necessary in a game like this," he said. Roy Hibbert had 15 points and 11 rebounds and Brandon Rush added 12 points for the Pacers (35-42), who have won five of seven. Indiana held Milwaukee to 43 per cent shooting. "You learn a lot about your guys when you have a high-stakes game like tonight,"; Indiana interim coach Frank Vogel said. wholesale jerseys. "Im proud of our defensive effort." Brandon Jennings had 20 points and seven rebounds for the Bucks (30-45), while Andrew Bogut added 16 points before fouling out. The Pacers led by 14 points in the third quarter, but Milwaukee cut Indianas lead to 87-86 on a jumper by Salmons with 1:29 remaining. Hibbert dunked at the other end before Salmons struck again with a jumper from beyond the top of the key to trim Indianas lead to 89-88 with 26.7 seconds to play. Indiana worked the clock on its next possession, but Darren Collisons floater was short. "We got a great look and he missed it," Vogel said. "That happens sometimes." Milwaukee rebounded and called timeout with 2.7 seconds left to set up Goodens final shot. Granger said the Pacers need to play better in the fourth quarter. "Closing games has a lot to do with maturity and experience, which we dont have a lot of," he said. "Well make some bonehead mistakes at the end of games, but we learn from them. Hopefully, it wont bite us in the playoffs." Indiana rallied from eight points down in the first quarter. Collisons floater in the lane with 2.2 seconds left in the first half gave Indiana a 46-39 advantage at the break. The Pacers shot 60 per cent from the field in the second quarter while the Bucks made just 6-of-25 shots in the period. Indiana opened the second half like a team trying to deliver a knockout. The Pacers used a 6-0 run, highlighted by a steal and layup by Collison, for a 52-39 lead that forced the Bucks to call a timeout. Indiana still led 69-60 at the end of the third quarter before Jennings rallied the Bucks with nine points in the fourth. "They were really scrappy," Hibbert said. "They played with us until the end. We did what we had to do defensively to get this win." NOTES: Indiana committed nine turnovers in the first quarter. ...
