CLEVELAND -- Nicolas Batums first attempt at making the game-winning shot didnt count. . He got it right the second time. Batums 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds left in the second overtime gave the Portland Trail Blazers a 118-117 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night. An apparent game-winning basket by Batum in the first overtime was disallowed because it came after time expired. The basket was first ruled good, but the call was changed after a video review. Batum, who celebrated after making that shot, got a chance to do it again and this time it was the winner. "After the one in the first overtime was too late, I had to make sure this one counted," he said. The game featured 16 lead changes and was tied 20 times. "I feel great," Batum said "This was a good game to watch for all the fans." Trailing 117-115 with 2.5 seconds remaining, Portland called time and inbounded near midcourt. Damian Lillard passed to Batum, who hit a fadeaway jumper from the right corner in front of Clevelands bench. "It was a tough shot, but I practice it every day," Batum said. "Nic makes those shots all the time at practice and shootaround, so we werent surprised," Lillard said. Cleveland coach Byron Scott praised Batum for coming through in the clutch. "Hell of a shot," Scott said. "He caught it and turned around. He was off-balance, threw it up and it went in." With time only for a tip-in attempt, the Cavaliers couldnt get a shot off before time expired. Lillard led Portland with 24 points while Batum added 22. Alonzo Gee paced the Cavaliers with 22 points, but missed a free throw that would have given them a three-point lead before Batums shot. Anderson Varejao had 19 points and 17 rebounds for his eighth straight double-double. Portland put five players in double figures and improved to 1-4 on its seven-game eastern road trip. The Trail Blazers, who lost to Washington during the trip for the Wizards only win of the season, have been in search for something positive. "Breaking the losing streak was really important, because losing can take its toll mentally, and I liked the way we played all night," said Portland coach Terry Stotts. Cleveland, which placed eight players in double figures, has lost 11 of 13. The first overtime began with the scored tied at 91 and featured five lead changes and three ties. "It shouldnt have went into the first overtime," Scott said. "We had about 30 mistakes defensively and when you have that many its going to be hard to win basketball games." Batum scored to give Portland a brief lead in the second OT, but Gees 3-pointer put Cleveland ahead 114-113. Lillard followed with a basket for the Trail Blazers, but Tyler Zellers jumper with 52.3 seconds left put the Cavaliers ahead again. Following turnovers by both teams, the Trail Blazers missed on two attempts and Gee was fouled. He missed the first shot and made the second. Cavaliers guard Dion Waiters left the game in the second overtime with an ankle injury. Varejao, the NBAs leading rebounder, dislocated his right ring finger in the first quarter. X-rays were negative and he returned midway through the second period. Gees basket off a missed shot tied the game at 103 with 6.7 seconds left in the first overtime. After Lillard missed a 20-footer, the ball was tapped out near the top of the key. Batum put up a shot that went in and was originally ruled good and the Trail Blazers began celebrating. However, replay showed the ball was still in Batums hand when time expired. With the Blazers down two late in regulation, Lillard missed, but Aldridge grabbed the rebound and was fouled by Varejao on his put-back attempt. Tristan Thompson was called for goaltending on the shot, a ruling that was upheld by a video review. Aldridge missed the free throw and the game remained tied at 91 with 36.8 seconds remaining. The Cavaliers were called for a shot clock violation on their next possession. Portland called timeout with 12.8 seconds remaining. Lillard drove to the basket, but his shot hit off the glass. Aldridges tip-in came after the buzzer and the game went to overtime. NOTES: Batum left the game in the first quarter after being hit in the face, but returned in the second period. ...

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Yu Darvish can throw fastballs by hitters. He can also freeze them with the slow-breaking curve. Darvish surpassed 200 strikeouts in his rookie season while getting his 15th victory for the AL West-leading Texas Rangers in a 9-3 win against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. "Instead of trying to incorporate all the weapons he has, hes coming out of the bullpen recognizing whats working and hes using them," manager Ron Washington said. "One time its his slider, one time its his four-seamer. Today, it was his cutter ... and the slow breaking ball." Darvish (15-9) struck out nine in seven innings. The 6-foot-5 right-hander from Japan often complemented his mid-90s fastball with a breaking pitch about 30 mph slower. "Its a tough pitch, something youre not used to," Seattle third baseman Kyle Seager said. "It definitely throws your timing off a little bit. He located really well with it. When he threw them, he threw it with a purpose." Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton homered for the Rangers against Hisashi Iwakuma (6-5), like Darvish a former Pacific League MVP in Japan and now a rookie in the major leagues. Hamilton also had an RBI double in the Rangers seven-run eighth off four relievers. He leads the majors with 42 homers and 123 RBIs. Darvish retired 12 of his last 13 batters, striking out seven in that stretch. He allowed only two hits and walked two while throwing 79 of his 110 pitches for strikes. Darvish made his major league debut against the Mariners five months ago, a game he won after giving up four runs in the first inning. He had a 9.00 ERA in three previous starts against them. "Just the difference between throwing against them tonight and my previous outings against them, I think its just throwing strikes," Darvish said through his translator. "Or more precisely not feeling like I have to throw a strike." It was Darvishs third consecutive start of at least seven innings while allowing three hits or less. The only other Rangers pitcher to ever do that was Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, now the team president. He did it in 1990. With 205 strikeouts, Darvish is the first major league rookie over 200 since Daisuke Matsuzaka struck out 201 batters for Boston in 2007. He is the 16th rookie, sixth in the American League, with 200 strikeouts. It was only the eighth time two Japanese starters pitched against other in the majors, but Darvish and Iwakuma faced each other six times in Japan.

Darvish last season threw a complete game for Hokkaido in a 2-0 win over Rakuten and Iwakuma, who worked 8 2-3 innings in that game. After Carlos Peguero led off the fifth with a strikeout, Darvishs fourth of the game and 200th of the season, the Japanese star quickly added to that total. Trayvon Robinson took a called third strike and Munenori Kawasaki struck out swinging, missing a 94 mph pitch right after taking a 62 mph curve over the plate. "The hitters, I felt like they were starting to time all my other pitches, or their timing was starting to come together," Darvish said. "I talked it over with (catcher Geovany) Soto during the game to start using that slower curve more." Michael Saunders led off the Seattle fourth with a 12-pitch walk. Seager followed with a double and Saunders scored on a sacrifice fly by Jesus Montero. In their previous game at Rangers Ballpark on May 30, the Mariners won 21-8. Saunders led off the ninth with his 15th homer. Iwakuma struck out four and walked one in 5 1-3 innings. He gave up seven hits, and the only runs he allowed were on the two solo homers. Kinslers ball skipped over the top of the left-centre field wall and ricocheted off a chair in the Mariners bullpen and back onto the field. It was initially ruled a double, but it didnt take umpires long to correctly reverse their call after watching the replay. Hamilton was back in the lineup after getting an injection in his sore left knee and missing a game. He pulled a ball into the second deck in right field in the third. After Elvis Andrus led off the eighth with a double, he scored on a double by Hamilton. Andrus had a bases-loaded triple to make it 9-1. "I cant count how many things we did wrong," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "When you get steamrolled like that, it should be one helluva of a wake-up call. ... Those innings cant happen." NOTES: Darvish is 4-1 with a 2.32 ERA his last six starts. ... The tarp wasnt taken off the field until an hour before the game, and there was still a light rain falling when the game started on time. It stopped about midway through the game. ... Seattles defence turned consecutive inning-ending double plays. After David Murphys liner ended the sixth, Kinslers attempted bunt in the seventh was caught in the air by pitcher Josh Kinney and turned into a double play. ' ' '
