LOS ANGELES -- Still smarting from a 26-point loss to the Spurs, the Los Angeles Clippers took out their frustration on the Utah Jazz. Caron Butler scored 21 points and the Clippers rode a big third quarter to a 107-94 victory on Saturday night, completing their first season sweep of the Jazz since 1978-79. "We had some fight, some passion, some enthusiasm, some fire," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. Blake Griffin and Lamar Odom added 18 points each, and DeAndre Jordan had 12 rebounds for the Pacific Division-leading Clippers, who went 4-0 against the Jazz this season and have won six straight over Utah dating to last year. "Were playing for something bigger than just these wins," said Chris Paul, who had 11 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Reserve Gordon Hayward led the Jazz with 23 points, Paul Millsap added 19 and Al Jefferson 16 as their three-game winning streak ended. They dropped to 10-19 on the road. "I wasnt even alive 34 years ago, so it doesnt matter back then," Jefferson said. "But we had a chance in each and every game we played them. There were two games in Utah that we were up 20-plus points and they came back. But congratulations to them for sweeping us. Hopefully well meet them in the playoffs and not have to take care of it next year." Los Angeles shot 51 per cent two nights after West-leading San Antonio handed the team its worst defeat of the season. "We were just a lot more focused. That San Antonio game left a really bad taste in our mouth," Chauncey Billups said. The Clippers broke open a close game in the third when they outscored Utah 36-20. Griffin had 12 points and Butler 11 in the period that began with them leading by two. Los Angeles opened on a 23-4 run -- including 14 in a row -- dominated by Griffin and Butler, who combined to score all but two of their teams points. It ended with the Clippers largest lead of 74-53. "At halftime we talked about coming out and getting stops," Griffin said. "It was really just effort. Thats what got the lead back." The highlight play came near the end of the spurt when Griffin went sliding across the court on his belly in a desperate attempt to keep the ball from going out of bounds. He succeeded by mere inches, firing it to Billups, who found Butler waiting on the left wing. He hoisted a 3-pointer that swished through the net as 19,165 fans roared their approval. "I thought I was going to slide out of bounds, but somehow I stuck so it worked out," Griffin said. Billups said, "Extra-effort plays are ones that win it. Thats a play that puts you over the top." The Jazz never got closer than 16 the rest of the third, and trailed 87-69. "We gave them too many easy shots and turned the ball over too many times, and you cant give teams that confidence in the third quarter," Jefferson said. "We played well enough to win in the first half, but we missed a lot of shots after that." Griffin and Butler joined the second unit midway through the fourth after the Jazz closed to 97-84. Odom scored seven straight points to keep the Clippers ahead 104-84. He scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half. "Thats the kind of scoring I remember from Lamar when he was on the Lakers," Griffin said. Odom shot 8 of 15 and his 18 points were a season high to go with six rebounds. "L.O. was unbelievable," Paul said. "Without his spark and aggression, we dont win this game. When hes aggressive it changes the dynamics of our team. Im one of the guys whos always telling him to shoot it. Hes always open." Odom hadnt scored more than four points in the Clippers five previous games. "Im starting to get my legs underneath me. Im just trying to stay at it, work hard," he said. "Im trying to fit in and do whatever I can do to help the team win." Hayward said Odom caused problems for the Jazz. "Usually, youre trying to shut down Jamal Crawford, and thats a task in itself," he said. "When youve got another guy whos rolling like that, that makes it really difficult." Los Angeles opened the second on an 11-2 run, including seven by Crawford that restored its lead to 11 points. The Jazz answered with a 20-10 spurt to take their first lead, 45-44. Jefferson scored 10 points and Hayward had eight. Crawford, Paul and Billups combined for all of the Clippers points. The Clippers saw an 11-point lead early in the game dwindle to 25-23 after the first, when Millsap scored 15 of Utahs points. NOTES: Jazz coach Ty Corbin and Millsap got technical fouls in the second, as did Griffin. ... In the third quarter, the referees reversed their initial flagrant foul-1 call on Griffin, who went up to block Alec Burks attempted dunk. After a review they decided it was a two-shot foul. ... Ex-Clipper Randy Foye needs five 3-pointers to break Mehmet Okurs single-season franchise record of 129. Foye missed all five of his long-range attempts. ... Utah G Mo Williams missed the game against his old team while recovering from thumb surgery.

Over 50 competitors will gather in Montreal for the Canadian Olympic Trials this weekend, but a maximum of six will emerge with their Olympic hopes intact.CAIRO, Egypt -- At least 74 people have been killed and hundreds injured after soccer fans rushed the field in the seaside city of Port Said following an upset victory by the home team over Egypts top club, setting off clashes and a stampede as riot police largely failed to intervene. Wednesdays tragedy was a bloody reminder of the deteriorating security in the Arab worlds most populous country as instability continues nearly a year after former President Hosni Mubarak was swept out of power in a popular uprising. The melee -- which followed an Egyptian league match between Al-Masry, the home team in the Mediterranean city, and Al-Ahly, based in Cairo and one of Egypts most popular teams -- was the worst case of soccer violence in Egypt and the deadliest worldwide since 1996. One player said it was "like a war." In Cairo, fans angered that another match between Al-Ismaili and Zamalek was halted because of the Port Said violence set fire to the bleachers at the main stadium in the Egyptian capital, authorities said. No injuries were reported, and employees said firefighters extinguished the blaze before it caused much damage. The clashes and ensuing stampede did not appear to be directly linked to the political turmoil in Egypt, but the violence raised fresh concerns about the ability of the state police to manage crowds. Most of the hundreds of black-uniformed police with helmets and shields stood in lines and did nothing as soccer fans chased each other, some wielding sharp objects and others hurling sticks and rocks. Security officials said the ministry has issued directives for its personnel not to "engage" with civilians after recent clashes between police and protesters in November left more than 40 people dead. The violence also underscored the role of soccer fans in Egypts recent protest movement. Organized fans, in groups known as ultras, have played an important role in the revolution and rallies against military rule. Their anti-police songs, peppered with curses, have quickly become viral and an expression of the hatred many Egyptians feel toward security forces that were accused of much of the abuse that was widespread under Mubaraks regime. There have been other recent violent incidents at soccer games. In April, the ineffectiveness of the police force also was on display when thousands of fans ran onto the field before the end of an African Champions League game between local club Zamalek and Tunisias Club Africain. The hundreds of police on duty at Cairo International Stadium could not stop the violence then, either. Activists scheduled rallies Thursday outside the headquarters of the Interior Ministry in Cairo to protest the inability of the police to stop the bloodshed. Many gathered outside Al-Ahly club in Cairo, chanting slogans against military rule, and hundreds filed into Cairos main train station to receive the injured arriving from Port Said. "We die like them, or we ensure their rights," the crowd chanted, along with slogans denouncing the military rulers. As the train arrived, scores jumped on top of the train and raised Egyptian flags. "They came at us with machetes and knives...they threw some of us from the fourth floor," one returning fan told the private TV station ONTV. "Everyone was beating us. They were beating us from inside and outside, with fireworks, stones, metal bars, and some had knives, I swear," another fan told the station, which did not give their names. In Port Said, residents marched early Thursday, denouncing the violence and saying it was a conspiracy by the military and police to cause chaos. Army tanks and armoured vehicles joined police patrolling near hospitals and morgues. Police were not to be seen in the streets after the violence and were unavailable to break up fights that followed. The tension also spread to the nearby Suez province. About 500 protesters, including soccer fans and activists, gathered outside the main police headquarters to protest what they called police negligence. A security official said the police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd. He was speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasnt authorized to speak to reporters. The scuffles erupted when fans of Al-Masry stormed the field following a rare 3-1 win against Al-Ahly. Al-Masry supporters hurled sticks and stones as they chased players and fans from the rival team, who ran toward the exits and up the stands to escape, according to witnesses. One man told state TV he heard gunshots in the stadium, while a lawmaker from Egypts powerful Muslim Brotherhood said the police didnt prevent fans carrying knives from entering the stadium.dddddddddddd TV footage showed Al-Ahly players rushing for their locker room as fistfights broke out among the hundreds of fans swarming on to the field. Some men had to rescue a manager from the losing team as he was being beaten. Black-clothed police officers stood by, appearing overwhelmed. The Interior Ministry said 74 people died, including one police officer, and 248 were injured, 14 of them police. A local health official initially said 1,000 people were injured and it was not clear how severely. Security forces arrested 47 people for involvement in the violence, the statement said. State TV appealed to Egyptians to donate blood for the injured in Port Said, and the military sent two aircraft to evacuate serious cases to the capital, Cairo. Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the head of the military leadership that assumed power after Mubaraks ouster, welcomed Al-Ahly team players who were flown back to Cairo from Port Said on a military aircraft. "This will not bring Egypt down," he told reporters at a military air base east of Cairo. "These incidents happen anywhere in the world. We will not let those behind it go ...This will not affect Egypt and its security." The military declared three days of mourning starting Thursday. Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim told state TV that 13,000 Al-Masry fans stormed the field, jumping a low fence and attacking about 1,200 Al-Ahly fans. He transferred the Port Said local security chief to a desk job as a punitive measure. Al-Ahly goalkeeper Sharif Ikrami, who was injured in the melee, told the private station ONTV that dead and wounded were being carried into the locker room. "There were people dying in front of us," he said. "Its over. Weve all made a decision that we wont play soccer any more. How will we play soccer after 70 people died? We cant think about it." Hesham Sheiha, a health ministry official, said most of the deaths were caused by concussions, deep head wounds and suffocation from the stampede. He said 40 people were seriously injured. In an interview with the teams station, Mohammed Abu Trika, a player with Al-Ahly, criticized police for standing by and not intervening in the violence. "People here are dying and no one is doing a thing. Its like a war," he told the team TV station. "Is life this cheap?" Egypts state prosecutor ordered an immediate investigation into the violence, and the Egypt Football Association ordered an indefinite suspension of the league games. The parliament said it would convene an emergency session. The two sides also traded conspiracy theories, with each side blaming the other for trying to destabilize the country. Essam el-Erian, a Brotherhood lawmaker, said the military and police were complicit in the violence, accusing them of trying to show that emergency regulations giving security forces wide-ranging powers must be maintained. "This tragedy is a result of intentional reluctance by the military and the police," he said. The manager of the Al-Masry, Kamal Abu Ali, announced he also was resigning in protest. "This is not about soccer. This is bigger than that. This is a plot to topple the state," he told the same station, using an often-cited allegation by the military against protesters. Bob Bradley, the former U.S. national team coach who was hired in September as coach of Egypts national team, was not at the stadium, U.S. Soccer Federation spokesman Michael Kammarman said. It was the deadliest incident of soccer violence since Oct. 16, 1996, when at least 78 people died and 180 others were injured in a stampede at a stadium in Guatemala City before a World Cup qualifying match between Guatemala and Costa Rica. The Port Said game was a face-off between two teams with a long history of fierce competition, Al-Masry, the home team, and Al-Ahly, a record 36-time winner of the Egyptian league and a six-time winner of the African Champions League. FIFA President Sepp Blatter said he was "shocked and saddened" by the deaths. "This is a black day for football. Such a catastrophic situation is unimaginable and should not happen," he said in a statement. The Confederation of African Football, which organizes the African Cup, said a minutes silence would be held before all quarterfinals this weekend as a mark of respect for the dead. CAF President Issa Hayatou said, "African football is in a state of mourning." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys Mamado... Tounkara Jersey ' ' '
