PORTLAND, Ore. Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit . -- Russell Westbrooks seven-game streak of triple-doubles ended Sunday night in a 99-96 victory over the Boston Celtics.Its not as if a 37-point, 12-rebound, six-assist game is a disappointment. But Oklahoma Citys All-Star guard was closer to mortal against the Celtics.I know everybody likes to talk about the triple-doubles, OKC coach Billy Donovan told the media afterward. What hes done has been remarkable, but what he did (Sunday) wasnt any less remarkable, just because he didnt have a few more assists.Westbrook can try to start a new streak Tuesday night when the Thunder (15-9) visit the Portland Trail Blazers (12-14) at Moda Center. He may be without his backcourt mate, however.Victor Oladipo missed Mondays practice with a wrist sprained in a hard fall during the first quarter against Boston. Donovan said Oladipo, who is averaging 16.1 points and shooting 38.1 percent from 3-point range, is questionable for the matchup with the Blazers.Westbrook says hes not concerned about his triple-double streak ending.A winning streak is more important to me, he said. I dont care about the (triple-double) streak. Thats a small part of my game. Whats important is trying to get a win.Oklahoma Citys winning streak is at just one game, but the Thunder have won seven of the last 10, thanks in no small part to center Steven Adams recent upsurge in offensive firepower. Adams scored 16 points on 7-for-8 shooting against the Celtics, two days after tallying 24 points while hitting 8 of 9 shots against Houston.Portland (12-14) comes into Tuesdays game on a four-game losing streak after falling 121-120 to the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center on Monday night. The Blazers opened a five-game trip with a 112-110 win at Chicago, then dropped four in a row.The Blazers have played plenty of good offense, and they did again against the Clippers, who have now beaten them three straight times this season. Damian Lillard had 24 points, eight assists and five rebounds; CJ McCollum contributed 25 points, five rebounds and three assists; and center Mason Plumlee collected 18 points, seven rebounds, six assists and five blocked shots.Portland shot 50.8 percent, including 47.6 (10 for 21) from 3-point range, and fired at an 88 percent clip from the foul line. But defense, a problem all season long, was again an issue. The Clippers shot 47.2 percent from the field, .478 from the 3-point line and .929 from the foul line while committing only 11 turnovers.After the OKC game, it doesnt get easier for the Blazers, who head back onto the road for stops at Denver, Golden State and Sacramento.A 12-14 record isnt what we want, but its not the worst thing in the world, Lillard told reporters. There are teams below us. Things could be worse. But we also know weve got to be better. We came into this season expecting much more of ourselves. So thats disappointing. Balenciaga Triple S . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. Nike Air Max 2018 Uomo .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win. http://www.scarpesportivescontate.it/nike-shox-outlet-italia/nike-shox-r4.html .

LOS ANGELES -- The maturation of Julio Urias is coming along quickly for the Los Angeles Dodgers.The 20-year-old rookie from Mexico allowed one run over six innings, Corey Seager set a Dodgers franchise record for a shortstop with his 23rd home run and Los Angeles defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Saturday to even the series between NL division leaders.Urias (5-2) pitched better at home than the last time he faced the Cubs.

He can trust his stuff and be more aggressive in the strike zone.The defense backed Urias with two double plays.It gives me a lot of confidence, he said through a translator. A couple starts ago I started picking up my confidence. In the beginning I felt strange. Now I feel like I belong here and thats the biggest difference.Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his 38th save a day after allowing a run on a wild pitch in the ninth in a 6-4, 10-inning loss.I didnt have a lot of hours of sleep last night, letting my teammates down, Jansen said. I got to figure out how to be aggressive all the time out there.The Cubs four-game winning streak ended behind the shortest outing of the season from Jason Hammel (13-7). He gave up three runs and five hits in 2 1/3 innings.Jason wasnt happy when I took him out. He didnt want to go, but I didnt see things straightening out, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. Im not concerned about him and its not a lack of confidence in him.Hammel was coming off a poor performance against Colorado, allowing a season-high 10 runs (six earned) in 3 1/3 innings of an 11-4 loss. He remained winless in nine career games (six starts) at Dodger Stadium.Joe and I talked after the game about it but its not a topic for discussion in the newspapers, Hammel said.

They chanted MVP, MVP after Kris Bryants game-winning home run in the 10th inning Friday. They cheered when Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully rattled off statistics about the Cubs impressive August performance during a preview of Saturdays game shown on the videoboard. The team has seen similar partisan crowds around the country this season.Theyve been so loud that if we turned our backs to the crowd, Maddon said, we couldnt tell if it was a home game or an away game.HEARING VINCubs fans in Chicago will get a brief chance to hear Scully wax poetic on Sunday. Comcast SportsNet Chicago will carry the live audio of Scullys broadcast during the third inning of the series finale.
