The New Zealand Breakers have managed a rare win at Perth Arena, beating the Wildcats 87-86 in overtime on Sunday. Cheap NBA Jerseys .It wasnt pretty, but wins against the Wildcats in Perth rarely are. Corey Webster went coast to coast and scored a lay-up with 1.40 second left on the clock to give the Breakers the lead.Jaron Johnsons three-point attempt on the buzzer wasnt to be and it rimmed out.It helped the visitors cause that Casey Prather was sidelined for the entire extra-time period with five fouls.Jameel McKay also missed most of the second half and adds to the Wildcats injury woes as they are already missing captain Damian Martin for an extended period.The two points from Webster gave him 20 for the game, with only Perths Matt Knight ahead of him on the night.Knight kept the Cats close earlier in the game when the Breakers were clearly on top.He finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds, as the home side dominated the boards, 59-40.But for most of the game, they couldnt get their offence going and finished with an average 38 per cent from the field.The Breakers victory was their first in Western Australia in six years.For most of the game, the Wildcats were unrecognisable as the reigning NBL champions.Without Martin, their defence was way undermanned.Johnson, who electrified the crowd a week ago, had two points at 14 per cent at the half and finished with 12 points and went 0-6 from beyond three-point range.The Breakers led 46-41 at half-time, but it felt as though they had a greater advantage. The lead had been as high as 11 and was 10 with just 55 seconds left in the half.Perths Prather was the sole reason why five points separated the sides at the break. He had a game-high 14 points at the break.He scored three of them in that last minute, created two steals and assisted Matt Knight to two points to keep the Cats chances of an 11-game home winning streak alive.That chance went out of the window with 3.55 minutes left on the clock when he was forced to the bench with 20 points and five fouls.Breakers coach Paul Henare said he didnt know how his side was able to overcome such a beating in rebounds (59-40).Thats an unbelievable number, he said.The Wildcats are the best rebounding team in the competition. You talk about it and you prepare for it and then you talk about it again. Cheap Swingman Nets Jerseys . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Dzanan Musa Jersey . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room. http://www.cheapnetsjerseys.com/ . The next step is a better finish. Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. ESPNs Buster Olney is on vacation this week, but hes still compiling roundups. View Thursdays roundup here.There are two guarantees every time the Los Angeles Dodgers win a home game. First, Randy Newmans I Love L.A. will blare throughout the stadium as our fans stand to cheer and we slap hands behind the pitchers mound in celebration of the victory. Simultaneously, my 6-year-old son, Luke, will begin his descent toward the home clubhouse. For us, securing the final out means another tally in the win column and one step closer to our postseason goals. But for Luke, a Dodger home win means only one thing: chocolate milk!After a home win last week, Luke walked into the clubhouse and, as usual, danced his way over to my locker as our post-win playlist boomed over the speakers. Instead of his beeline to the players lounge, he asked me a question.Dad, who is the man who talks about the Dodgers on TV?Do you mean Vin Scully? I replied.Yeah, Vin Scowee. I saw him on the elevator. He gave me a high-five and a hug. Hes a nice guy.With that, he was in search of his spoils of victory-- a new fan of the nice guy who talks about his dad and the Dodgers.Someday in the future, Luke will ask me about Vin. I could start by telling him about perhaps my first baseball memory -- that of a 7-year-old boy who got to stay up extra late to watch the first game of the 1988 World Series. How I can still remember Kirk Gibson slugging a 3-2 backdoor slider into the right-field pavilion. How I still remember the voice on the television telling me about the high fly ball into right field and how she is gone! But then I will tell him about how I was recently directed to watch the entire bottom of the ninth inning from that night, and how perhaps our sports most memorable World Series home run call was actually part of the greatest half-inning ever called.I will tell him about joining the Dodgers and how nearly all of my nights ended with me on the MLB app, listening to the highlights of our game, and the chills I got as I heard Vin utter my name describing an RBI single or throwing out a would-be base stealer or how he got me trending on Twitter. Luke will ask, Whats Twitter? (as there is sure to be some new hip social-media device his dad will be too old to understand).I will tell Luke about the man of faith Vin is. How I could count on him to be in our clubhouse every Sunday morning making a cup of coffee as he was on his way to Mass. About how I secretly hoped he was a few minutes early so we could sit and talk in our players lounge about anything.I will tell him about how I built up enough courage over time to ask him a sarcastic questtion. Cheap Nets Jerseys Authentic. I asked him which perfect game was his favorite to call. Was it Don Larsens, Sandy Koufaxs or Billy Chapels? He chuckled as only Vin can chuckle and dove into a story about sitting in a studio and doing play-by-play for the movie For Love of the Game while watching the film on the screen.I will definitely tell my son about being part of a nearly perfect game myself. How I was behind the plate as Clayton Kershaw threw a no-hitter and struck out 15 Colorado Rockies in June 2014. I will show him the game but also show him the link I ran across and watch regularly of Vin calling all 27 outs in the game. Hopefully he will see the way Vin allows the tension and drama to build. The way he allows the game, and especially the conclusion, to play out through the buzz of the stadium and the work of the cameras: 0 and 2 ... got him! Hes done it! Thats the way Vin described the final pitch of the dominant performance. And then, 30 seconds of silence as he allowed the pictures and crowd to tell the story.Mostly, and very regularly, I will tell Luke how special it was to be part of the Dodger organization. How the organization that gave us Jackie, Newk and Campy, Sandy and Clayton, had allowed me to wear its uniform. And while wearing that uniform, competing in front of baseballs best fans in baseballs most beautiful ballpark, I was humbled and honored to know that Vin Scully was sitting right above home plate, painting the picture of our great game and, at times, even using me as the paint for his brushstrokes.This past Sunday I spent about 10 minutes with Vin up in his booth. I had to wait for a few moments as he was finishing up meeting with Gerrit Cole of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who made the five-floor journey up to the press box to spend time with Vin in his 67th and final season as the Dodgers broadcaster. Cole joined a long list of visiting players, including Bryce Harper and David Ortiz, who wanted to say goodbye to the greatest sports broadcaster, let alone baseball broadcaster, of all time.We posed for a picture with the perfectly manicured playing surface in the background. We chatted about family and home. I told him about my children, and he proudly told me about his 11-year-old grandson who is a young catcher. I thanked him for his time and made sure to let him know this wasnt goodbye and that I would see him around the ballpark. With that, it was time to go. We both had a ballgame to prepare for. We shook hands and hugged, just like my son had a few days before. ' ' '
