TELLURIDE, Colo. -- Canadians brought home a ton of medals at the Dew Cup on Friday. Dominique Maltais won her second straight event by narrowly holding off teammate Maelle Ricker in the womens snowboard-cross final. Maltais, from Petite-Riviere-St-Francois, Que., led the way as Canadas snowboard-cross contingent won three-of-six medals in the mens and womens events. "Im going to have a really good Christmas with these two wins," said Maltais, the 2012 FIS Crystal Globe winner who also won the season-opener last week in Austria. "Its a good way to start the season and now I get to spent some time with friends and family the next couple of weeks." Ricker, from Squamish, B.C., took silver in the womens event, while Calgarys Chris Robanske was third in the mens behind American Seth Wescott and Alex Pullin of Australia. Also, Canadian freestyle halfpipe skiers grabbed three podium finishes -- including a victory by Justin Dorey of Vernon, B.C. -- to kick off the season and their pursuit of 2014 Olympic berths. Mike Riddle of Sherwood Park, Alta., finished third in the mens event behind Dorey and Byron Wells of New Zealand while Calgarys Rosalind Groenewoud was third in the womens halfpipe behind Americans Brita Sigourney and Maddie Bowman. Keltie Hansen of Edmonton finished sixth. Dorey, who popped his shoulder out midway through his second run and didnt finish it, said the Olympic qualifying made him ski a little more reserved. "I usually go for broke every run," he said. "Sometimes it works but its a gamble. I knew I needed a podium for the Olympic qualifying so I was a little more reserved. That helped me focus." Maltais said after the race that the back-to-back wins come as a result of a lot of off-season training. "I put a lot of energy and time into training this summer," said Maltais. "This is the way I wanted to do it, be strong top to bottom and thats what I did." Maltais and Ricker used their knowledge of each other to hold off all competitors to claim the top two spots on the podium. "Were pretty much on the same line, I kind of know where shes going to go and she knows where Im going to go. In the semifinal we had a little tactic," said Maltais. "We were with the French girl who wanted to pass inside left so we made sure we were together, not giving her that space to pass and we finished first and second." Canadian ski halfpipe team head coach Trennon Paynter was pleased with the results after a change last summer in the teams approach to its training methods. "The approach we took in training was to really train the way we intend to compete," he said. "Some people .... save their big move for competition. We had them training as if competing and thats what we saw (Friday)." Actually, he added, Dorey was a little bit of an exception to that approach. His final trick on his first run in the pipe, which helped earn him the winning mark of 93.50, was one he hadnt been training this year. "But he probably did it 100 times over the summer so it wasnt a big gamble," said Paynter. "The rest of his run was flawless." The trick was a right side double quark 1260 that Dorey reversed after successfully hitting it from the normal side earlier in his run. He admitted he hadnt worked on the reverse much because he was working on a new trick but didnt feel it would be a gamble on Friday. "Our whole sport is a gamble.

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Hawks penchant for going soft with a big lead nearly cost them another victory. "We had things under control, but I think we got away from what was working for us," centre Al Horford said. "They made plays. (Will) Bynum was great, and I think he was the one who that propelled them to tie the game. Im just happy we won." Josh Smith scored 31 points, Horford added 22 and the Hawks beat the Detroit Pistons 126-119 in double overtime on Wednesday night. The Hawks blew a 22-point, fourth-quarter lead as Bynum and fellow reserve Charlie Villanueva scored a combined 26 of Detroits 39 points in the final period of regulation. Atlanta has won two straight and eight of 12. Detroit has lost seven of nine. Bynum finished with 31 points, one less than his career high, and assisted on the last two baskets of regulation, when Andre Drummonds dunk cut the lead to two and Austin Dayes 3-pointer gave the Pistons a 101-100 lead with 4 seconds remaining. Horford followed by making just one of two free throws for the Hawks to force the first overtime. His second attempt bounced off the rim and into Dayes hands. "It was tough because I had the opportunity to put the game away," Horford said. "It was important for me to move on to the next phase of the game and play in overtime. Thats what I did, and we responded well." After Jeff Teagues two free throws tied it at 108-all for Atlanta at the 1:05 mark of the first overtime, neither team scored again until Lou Williams hit a pair of free throws to give the Hawks a 110-108 lead early in the second overtime. Bynum gave Detroit its last lead at 112-110 at the 3:03 mark. Atlanta never trailed after Teagues 3 made it 113-112 with 2:46 remaining. Reserves Rodney Stuckey and Drummond each finished with 16 points, and Tayshaun Prince and Villaneuva added 14 for the Pistons. "Look, we had opportunities to win the game," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "It just didnt fall for us." Williams, starting for the second straight game, finished with 18. Teague had 17 and Anthony Morrow 16 for Atlanta, which outscored the Pistons 36-9 on fast-break points. The Hawks were up by 22 early in the fourth quarter when DeShawn Stevensons 3 from the left corner made it 84-62.dddddddddddd But as Bynum kept driving the lane and beating the Hawks to the rim, Smith went cold for the Hawks, missing his last seven shots in the fourth and both overtime periods. Smith was 13 for 18 through the first three quarters. Both Bynum and Smith missed potential game winners at the end of the first overtime. Smith defended Bynum on a layup, but Villanueva played a role in successfully defending Smiths left-handed hook at the buzzer. "Even though they were making some difficult plays, I think we were scrambling out on defence," Smith said. "We switched the pick-and-roll a little bit and we were trying to make it a little difficult for them to be able to shoot over a taller defender. Thats what we were able to do -- limit them to one shot and get the rebound." For the Pistons, who were trying to earn a rare three-game winning streak, the loss dropped them to 3-14 on the road, 9-22 overall. There was little consolation for Bynum. "I got hot, and other guys picked it up, and piece by piece things started to work," Bynum said. "We got back in the game, but I missed a key layup at the end. That was unbelievable. The missed shots haunt me now, and they were still haunting me while we were out there. We put forth a great effort, but it just wasnt enough." The Hawks improved to 10-5 at home, 17-9 overall. "A couple of times I thought we were dead in the water," Atlanta coach Larry Drew said. "It was a really hard fought win."
