TAMPA, Fla. -- For nearly 57 minutes, the Arizona Cardinals played poorly. The offence sputtered and the injury-weakened defence committed costly penalties and failed to rattle Mike Glennon until persistence paid off against Tampa Bays rookie quarterback. Patrick Peterson had two interceptions in the closing minutes for the Cardinals (2-2), one setting up Carson Palmers 13-yard touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald and the other sealing a 13-10 victory over the winless Buccaneers (0-4) on Sunday. "It was a great exhibition of 60-minute football," first-year coach Bruce Arians said after the comeback from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit ended what would have been a tough extended road trip on a positive note. "The game is played for 60 minutes, and it doesnt matter really what goes on as long as you can maintain the chase that something good is going to happen," Arians added. "That fourth quarter was some of the best football weve played all year. It was just a matter of doing it. It was there to be done." The Cardinals pressured Glennon all game until the third-round draft pick out of North Carolina State made a costly mistake. Petersons first interception set up Arizonas first TD in six quarters. The other ended any chance of Glennon bringing the Bucs back after Jay Feelys 27-yard field goal snapped a 10-10 tie with 1:29 remaining. Starting in place of the benched Josh Freeman, Glennon was steady -- if not spectacular -- for most of the day to give Tampa Bay the type of performance it had been wanting from a quarterback. Freeman was declared inactive for the game and was not in uniform, instead watching the game from a suite at Raymond James Stadium. Coach Greg Schiano said it was a "mutual" decision. Freeman declined to comment as he left Raymond James Stadium. "With all the happenings of the week, it was the best thing for our team," Schiano said. "Theres stuff that Im not going to get into, but that was the best thing for our football team." Glennons day shifted suddenly when Peterson stepped in front of a pass intended for Vincent Jackson and returned the pick 11 yards to the Bucs 13. Fitzgerald beat cornerback Darrelle Revis on the next play for his 80th career TD reception with 3:06 left. Arians couldnt say enough about Peterson, a third-year cornerback with a knack for game-changing plays. "Im really surprised they threw toward him. And with a rookie quarterback, hes going to make you pay," the coach said. "I think hes the best in the league. Some will argue that Darrelle is, but its not even close in my opinion." The Cardinals moved 29 yards after forcing a punt to win it. Palmer threw 19 yards to Jaron Brown on the first play of the drive, and an unnecessary roughness penalty on Bucs safety Dashon Goldson moved the ball to the Tampa Bay 9. Palmer overcame a slow start to complete 21 of 38 passes for 248 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Fitzgerald had six catches for 68 yards, all in the second half. Revis and Johnthan Banks had Tampa Bays interceptions, and Leonard Johnson set up Glennons first career TD pass by forcing a fumble that Gerald McCoy recovered at the Cardinals 41. "Its just an unfortunate way to end the game. The defence played great the whole game," Glennon said. "The offence looked good in the first half. At the end, I just cant make that throw. Definitely a learning experience, but also a tough one to swallow." Arizona had trouble moving the ball until Palmer got Fitzgerald involved in the third quarter. The seven-time Pro Bowler was matched up most of the day against Revis, and Palmer didnt even attempt to throw the ball his way in the first half. "That was bad ball in the first half all around, and our defence just kept fighting and fighting for us, kept the game manageable for us, and were so thankful those guys played their tail off," Fitzgerald said. "We lost a lot of bodies last week, and guys continued to step up in new roles, and thats what being a team is about." The Cardinals lost linebackers Sam Acho, Lorenzo Alexander and Alex Okafor to season-ending injuries during the previous weeks lopsided loss at New Orleans, then flew straight to Florida to practice in nearby Bradenton instead of returning home to prepare for the Bucs. Glennon was 24 of 43 for 193 yards, including an 8-yard TD pass to Mike Williams in the first quarter. He threw two interceptions and was sacked twice.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Golden State Warriors have always been able to score. Now they are becoming a good defensive team. The Warriors used half-court defensive pressure to beat the Magic 94-81 on Tuesday night. "Defence is not something were known for," said forward David Lee, who led the Warriors with 22 points. "Everyone looks at our team and the ability to shoot the ball and score, but were a Top 10 defensive team too." The Warriors limited Orlando to 38 per cent shooting and led by 12 early in the first quarter and 23 at halftime. They were so comfortable with their defence that when Orlando made its only run of the game late in the third quarter, the reserves stayed on the floor and finished out the game. "Thats the 14th time weve held a team under 40 per cent so weve got to get some recognition as far as the way we defend," Golden State Coach Mark Jackson said. "We defended from the opening jump and were really locked in the whole night." The win was Golden States sixth straight, the first time the Warriors have won that many in a row in six years. Klay Thompson scored 15 points, Kent Bazemore had 12 and Marreese Speights 10 for Golden State, which survived a rash of turnovers (17) to shoot 48.8 per cent for the game. "It starts defensively when we get stops," said Stephen Curry, who had nine points, eight assists and five rebounds, but sat out the fourth quarter along with the rest of the Warriors starters. "That leads to better offensive possessions and its fun. Were enjoying ourselves out there." It was anything but fun for the Magic, who were trying for a season-best third straight victory, but felll well short.ddddddddddddArron Afflalo led Orlando with 15 points, Jameer Nelson had 11 and Glen Davis 10, but the Magic got down early and never made a serious run the entire game. "There has to be accountability everywhere," Davis said. "Thats what has to happen for us to be a team that people take seriously. The Magic lost their leading rebounder, centre Nikola Vucevic, in the middle of the first quarter with a sprained ankle. That was part of the reason Golden State dominated the glass, outrebounding Orlando 56-37. "Hes one of the best centres in the NBA, but he wasnt there so we cant sit and make excuses," said Tobias Harris, who led the team with nine rebounds. "Thats the NBA. Somebody gets hurt, just keep playing. Were better than that and we know were better than that." The Warriors used a 16-2 run in the middle of the first quarter to take a 22-10 lead and never let the advantage get under 10 the rest of the game. Sparked by Nelsons two 3-pointers, the Magic pulled to 74-59 at the end of the third quarter. Harris layup to start the fourth quarter made it a 13-point game, but that was as close as Orlando could come. Golden State shut the Magic down early, trapping Orlando ballhandlers and making the Magic take many attempts late in the shot clock. Orlando shot 38.2 per cent for the game. NOTES: Vucevic injured his left ankle in the first quarter after stepping on Andrew Boguts foot. Vucevic injured the same ankle earlier this season and missed four games. ... Golden State last won six in a row in 2007. ... The Warriors are 5-1 against the East this season. ...
