DURBAN, South Africa -- The start of the European Tours season-opening Nelson Mandela Championship has been delayed for a second straight day after heavy rain left most of the course under water. Organizers will try again to get the first round of the inaugural event under way on Saturday morning. European Tour tournament director Mikael Eriksson says "every fairway is almost completely under water and there is no chance we will be able to play at all on Friday." Thursday was also a washout at Royal Durban, with South Africas east coast experiencing unusually high rainfall in the past few months. Eriksson says organizers aimed to start at 6.30 a.m. local time on Saturday. The Nelson Mandela Championship is the first of three successive tournaments in South Africa to start the 2013 Race to Dubai. . Torres came off the bench to score Spains third, and his third of the tournament, in the 84th minute of a 4-0 victory in the final against Italy. He also scored twice in a 4-0 group stage win over Ireland. [url=http://www.ussoccerteamshopjersey.com/jozy-altidore-world-cup-jersey.html]J... Altidore USA Jersey . But how? What had changed from one week to the next? Or is that the Ticats defence is just that average at stopping the run? When you consider the Stampeders started a right tackle in JMichael Deane who had previously only played right tackle during his years at Michigan State, and a left guard in Spencer Wilson who was making his first pro start after coming from the Calgary Colts junior football program in Alberta, 170 yards is a lot. ... . TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reported via Twitter on Monday that while the 40-year-old winger enjoyed his stint with the Philadelphia Flyers last season, he plans on testing free agency.

The 1-5 Bombers are looking to new quarterback Joey Elliott to secure just their second win of the season. "The message has been sent, we have to pick it up," said veteran Winnipeg offensive lineman Glenn January. INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers proved one thing Friday night: Beating Miami last month was no fluke. David West scored 30 points, Paul George added 15, and the Pacers never trailed after the first quarter as they pulled away from the defending NBA champs 102-89 in a game that was even more lopsided than the score. "We want to be dominant at home, and were getting there," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "David West was spectacular. He has a way of giving us contagious confidence. He has that look that carries over to everyone else where were not going to lose tonight." The rest of the Pacers (28-19) had that look, too. They joined the New York Knicks as the only teams to beat Miami twice this season and have won three straight regular-season games over the Heat. Miami won the last three games in last springs Eastern Conference semifinals on their way to winning the NBA crown. And Indiana beat a team that promised to be more focused, more motivated and more physical than the first time around. None of it mattered. Since ending a three-game losing streak Wednesday night, Indiana has won two straight by double digits and its 13-game home winning streak is the teams longest since it won 14 in a row in 2002-03. Not enough? The Pacers still havent played with former All-Star Danny Granger this season, though Vogel hopes to have him back on the court before the All-Star break and certainly before the next showdown between Indiana and Miami in March. Perhaps most impressive is that Indiana has now beaten Miami in two different ways. In January, they used a suffocating defence and a precision offence to limit Miami to a season-low point total in the 87-77 victory. On Friday, they held Miami under 90 points again, something that hadnt happened since Jan. 8, but the Pacers won this one with an efficient offence. Indiana shot a season-high 55.7 per cent from the field, a number that included 11 straight baskets from West after he missed his first shot of the game. Five players reached double figures and the Pacers came within three points of matching their highest non-overtime point total of the season (105). "We have to get better and play better at both ends of the court," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Hopefully, we will. They just outplayed us on both ends of the court." For Miami (29-14), it was a frustrating night. James finished with his customary 28 points and had six rebounds and three assists.dddddddddddd Wade added 17 points, six rebounds and five assists. Bosh had 13 points and only two rebounds, partly because of foul trouble. But the rest of the team combined for 31 points, 11 from Shane Battier, and 15 rebounds. They still got outrebounded, and the loss prevented Miami from clinching the best record in the East before the All-Star break, which would have given Spoelstra a ticket to Houston to coach the Eastern Conference All-Stars. How tough was it? Three players -- Bosh, Battier and Udonis Haslem -- and Spoelstra all drew technical fouls. It was enough to make Miami scratch their heads. "I think they (Pacers) are playing some really good basketball right now. Theyre kind of like us, they play great basketball at home, they kind struggle on the road. Its like two different teams sometimes," James said. "But they have improved and I think the biggest improvement is Paul George. Hes improving, thats why hes an All-Star." It looked easy. Indiana took control of the game with a 13-0 run that turned a 23-20 deficit into a 33-23 lead early in the second quarter, and the Heat never tied the score or took the lead again. The Pacers, meanwhile, methodically extended the margin. They closed the first half on an 8-4 mini-run to make it 53-45, then opened the second half by scoring the first six points to take a 59-45 lead. When Miami closed to 64-54 on two free throws by Mario Chalmers with 7:13 to go in the third quarter, Indiana came right back with a 12-3 run that ended with two free throws from West. That gave Indiana a 76-57 lead with 3:16 left in the quarter, and Miami never got closer than 12 again. "Its good to beat them, but we cant overreact to this," West said after missing only three of his 15 shots. "We match up with them. I think weve got some familiarity with them because of the playoff series. But theyre a tough team. Theyre going to adjust the next time we see them." Notes: The Heat are 0-2 against the Knicks and Pacers, 0-1 against the Bulls and 3-0 against Brooklyn -- the teams currently seeded two through five in the Eastern Conference. ... The Pacers have limited nine straight opponents to fewer than 100 points inside Bankers Life Fieldhouse. ... Miami dropped to 9-37 all-time at Indiana. ... The Heat finished with 25 rebounds, the fewest against Indiana all season. ' ' '
