SALT LAKE CITY -- Facing an upset bid, Lorenzo Bonam kept hearing one mantra in his head. Wholesale Air Jordan 4 Ireland .Be poised. Make the right play, the senior point guard told himself.Down the stretch, Bonam made a trio of clutch plays on Tuesday night to help Utah surge past Utah Valley 87-80. He also made one teammates dream come true.Within a span of 40 seconds, the senior point guard found Ty Rawson for a 3-pointer, drove for a layup and then assisted on a Parker Van Dyke 3-pointer with 29 seconds remaining.Van Dyke grew up near the Huntsman Center and came to countless games as a fan.It was a really special moment for me individually and just a great overall play, Van Dyke said. Lorenzo made a great pass and trusted me to knock it down. Ive seen a lot of games like that as a fan -- it comes down to the wire where a Utah player hits a big shot.Kyle Kuzma had 16 points and 12 rebounds for the Utes (6-1), who ended the game on a 12-2 run. Bonam and Rawson each contributed 14 points.Isaac Neilson had career-highs of 28 points and 15 rebounds for Utah Valley (5-3). Jordan Poydras, who had four 3-pointers, added 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting.Our guards did a wonderful job at getting to the gap and I found myself open and getting the ball at the right time, Neilson said. All I really have to do is focus on catching the ball and putting it in the hoop.Conner Toolson made a 3-pointer after a Nielson offensive rebound and Brandon Randolph made a shot in the lane to give Utah Valley a 78-75 lead with 2:04 to play.The Utes, who have been a poor 3-point shooting team (29 percent on the season), made 10 of 22 long-range attempts.The Wolverines typically launch more than 30 3-point shots a game and were pressured off the line by the Utes, but often found lanes to drive and kick to Neilson for layups. Utah transfer Kenneth Ogbe and Toolson are UVUs leading scorers but combined for just eight points in the game.In a scheduling anomaly, Utah Valley is the only in-state opponent for Utah this season. Last year, Coach Larry Krystkowiak bought out the Utes previously scheduled visit to BYU.The Wolverines led early in the game but the Utes scored 12 points off first-half turnovers and held a 41-36 edge at intermission.BIG PICTUREUtah: Next week the Utes hope to have transfers David Collette and Sedrick Barefield, who are expected major contributors, eligible to play. Besides their lone loss to then No. 18 Butler and their looming matchup with No. 13 Xavier, the Utes have feasted on lower-level competition at home. The games, which were mostly blowouts, have given the young roster a chance to gel and gain experience.Utah Valley: The Wolverines, who beat BYU 114-101, were close to another major in-state upset before the late fade. UVU shot 49 percent and had 19 assists, and seem primed for a stellar season in the Western Athletic Conference.QUOTABLEWhen Parker took that 3, I had a weird vision -- because I knew the kid grew up in Salt Lake and watching the Utes all his life with his grandpa -- and I thought, `Man, hes due. And as the ball is in the air, I just flashed back to all the times he probably watched other players years ago do those same things and it was pretty neat seeing it go in. He earned it, Krystkowiak said.STAT OF THE NIGHTUtah shot 12 of 13 from the line in the second half, including eight straight from Zamora. The junior made four in the final moments.UP NEXTUtah will play its first road game of the season on Saturday against No. 13 Xavier on national television.On Saturday, the Wolverines continue their local battles as they host Utah State. Air Jordan 4 Retro Ireland . Klitschkos management company says the bout will be the Ukrainian fighters 25th world championship fight. The 1.83-meter (6-foot) Leapai defeated the previously unbeaten Denis Boytsov in November to become the WBOs mandatory challenger. Cheap Air Jordan 4 Ireland . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring. http://www.cheapairjordan4ireland.com/ .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. At 7-7 and with two weeks remaining before the postseason, the future is what Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) makes of it. The back-to-back reigning and defending champions of the North American League of Legends Championship Series have battled their way back from a sub-optimal start to a respectable middling position in the standings.While the two giants of this splits regular season, Team SoloMid (TSM) and Immortals, have already clinched first-round byes in the playoffs, their shared dominance has allowed CLG to make a run for a possible third-place finish.It feels good to finally start winning, said Counter Logics starting AD carry Trevor Stixxay Hayes. Were actually pretty frustrated because when we played Immortals we felt like we should have 2-0ed them. [But, taking a game off of Immortals] shows were a really good team right now. For all of CLGs faults this split, the teams resolve hasnt wavered.The players were straightforward and open about their main problem: failing to play around the mid lane. At the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), CLG played around the side lanes to make it into the finals, which was arguably NAs greatest international feat in the games six-year history. Choi Huhi Jae-hyun, the teams starting mid laner, was often dangled over the map as a sacrificial lamb for the opposing team to gnaw at; hed die, allowing his carries to get off the necessary damage, and return to the field looking for where he could next be of use.Lately, Immortals, not sure if theyve been falling off or whats going on, but they dont feel as strong as they used to be, said Stixxay. Id say theyre not very proactive and a lot of the plays they make arent good plays. It only works because they outplay people, so I dont think theyre as dominant as they used to be. For TSM, I think theyre a really good team. Ill say their problems are overcommitting too much on certain sides -- sometimes theyll run acrross the map and lose resources on the other side -- and thats maybe an advantage we have on them. Cheap Air Jordan 4 For Sale. But I definitely think TSM is going to be the best team, and probably the team well face in the finals.Immortals has the individual skill to break a majority of the teams in the world. CLG, as we saw in Shanghai at MSI, has the teamplay aspect down and a wealth of strategies to do well on the international stage. This current iteration of TSM, however, is a mix of both the monstrous technical skill of Immortals and the sleek teamplay coordination of Counter Logic Gaming. Even as Finals MVP of last split, Stixxay realizes that fighting through the currently undefeated stronghold of Team SoloMid for a three-peat NA LCS title would be a harrowing run.When we went to MSI, we were pretty surprised on how well we did versus all the teams, he said. Last split we were pretty notorious for doing terrible in scrims and always performing well on stage. So at MSI it kinda turned around; wed do really well in scrims, which was surprising to me. The only problem with NA right now is its a top-sided region. There are very weak teams at the bottom, and you have the incredibly strong teams at the top. I think NA is a really, really strong region right now.[CLG], TSM, and Immortals, he answered when asked a bit more about which teams he thought comprised the cream of the crop. I think Team Liquid and Cloud9 are a little bit below us.Stixxay and CLG will attempt to prove they belong in an NA LCS triumvirate this week as the team looks to go over .500 for one of the first times this split. Counter Logic will have a Saturday matinee set versus fellow third-place hopefuls Team Liquid before taking the Rift on Sunday in a must-win matchup against currently last-place team Echo Fox. ' ' '
