CHICAGO -- It didnt take long for the San Antonio Spurs to show the Chicago Bulls why theyre leading the NBA. Authentic Miikka Kiprusoff Jersey . Manu Ginobili scored 22 points and Tony Parker had 20 points and nine assists, and the Spurs beat the Bulls 104-96 Tuesday night for their seventh straight win and 10th in their last 11. San Antonio jumped out to a big advantage early, taking a 38-14 lead after one quarter and going up 61-33 into halftime. That helped them improve to 24-6 on the road, the NBAs best mark away from home. Kawhi Leonard added 16 and nine rebounds for the Spurs (47-16), who maintained their hold on the NBAs best record. With the win they stayed a half-game ahead of Oklahoma City and Indiana, who both won. "Wonderful game, we were very sharp," Ginobili said. "We made a lot of shots in the beginning, which gave us a lead that ... its easier to play like that." Parker had 18 at halftime and went 8 for 15 from the field for a team that made 51 per cent overall against one of the NBAs best defensive clubs. Ginobili was 9 of 11. Also the leagues top 3-point shooting team at 39.2 per cent, San Antonio made 12 of 21 from behind the arc, including four from Ginobili. That and the big first half added up to another win for the Spurs, who are 14-3 since a 96-86 loss to Chicago on Jan. 29 and can improve on that Wednesday at home against Portland. The Spurs roster is finally healthy, something coach Gregg Popovich noted. "We seem like were playing pretty consistently now," Popovich said. "I dont think were going to win every game down the stretch." The Bulls, meanwhile, were coming off a dramatic 95-88 win Sunday over the Heat but couldnt build off that victory, falling to 1-2 on a season-high six-game homestand that also has games with the Rockets, Kings and Thunder. Coach Tom Thibodeau blamed himself for the slow start. "I told them, thats completely on me. My job is to have them ready. We had no edge to us," Thibodeau said. "Thats a championship-calibre team thats playing on all cylinders and theyre going after it, so if you dont match that intensity to start, you are going to get in a big hole. "So I didnt prepare them the way they needed to be prepared for that, so thats on me." D.J. Augustin led the Bulls with 24 points and Jimmy Butler had 23. Joakim Noah, whose name has started to be mentioned in MVP discussions, had 13 and eight rebounds. That all was a far cry from Sunday, when the Bulls held Miami to 40.5 per cent shooting and overcame a 42.2 per cent shooting game of their own. That didnt happen Tuesday for the Bulls, who were 43 per cent from the field. "Its on us," Butler said. "Were the ones out there playing, so we have to bring it each and every night. Thibs can only do so much. You learn from it." The Bulls saw early how costly a slow start can be, only pulling to within eight late in the fourth quarter. Ginobilis reverse layup with a second left in the period gave San Antonio a 38-14 lead after the first. The Spurs ended the half leading by 28 and hitting 61 per cent from the field, looking like a team peaking. Ginobili, however, hopes they arent doing that too early. "Its not the right time yet. Still 20 games to go," Ginobili said.

It has been eleven years, eight months, and 261 days since I played my last CFL game.CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks dominated much of Saturday nights game against the Buffalo Sabres. When they got into a bit of trouble at the end, Corey Crawford was there to carry them to the finish. Crawford made 28 saves to lead the Blackhawks to a 2-1 victory over the winless Sabres. Ben Smith and Patrick Kane scored for the Blackhawks, who swept a pair of weekend home games, edging the Islanders 3-2 on Friday. Drew Stafford connected with 8:11 left in the third, spoiling Crawfords bid for a shutout. The Sabres (0-5-1) put together several tough challenges in the second and third periods after a slow start. "Its never an easy game," Crawford said. "They kind of hung around there. "Their goalie kept them in it, made some big stops. And they gave us a test there at the end." Ryan Miller had 38 saves for Buffalo, which has been outscored 16-6 in its worst start since 1999-2000, when it was 0-5-2. Millers performance kept the Sabres in the game, but the Blackhawks were in position for a bigger night on offence. "The finish, what it takes to score in this league, maybe we need to be a little greasier around the net," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "Hang around, put it in the back of the net. "Weve missed the net, which is our biggest problem scoring goals right now. The second chances are the ones that go in in our league." Buffalos offensive futility is making life more difficult for Miller, the 2010 Vezina Trophy winner and a two-time U.S. Olympian. "It puts a lot of emphasis in the backside and you cant make any mistakes," Miller said. "Weve got to try to find a way to earn our goals and find a way to score." The Blackhawks outshot the Sabres 20-6 in the first period, but only had a 1-0 lead at intermission. Chicagos puck possession and territory dominance was aided by three power plays. But Smiths even-strength tip-in for his first goal of the season at 9:26 was the only score. Brent Seabrook wristed a shot from just inside the blue line at the top of the slot. Smith, one of four playeers parked in front of the net, then deflected the puck over Millers glove. Authentic Gary Roberts Jersey. Despite continued pressure in the second period, the Blackhawks didnt get their second goal until Kanes power-play score with 24.9 seconds left. Kane was open low in the right circle, and whipped Patrick Sharps cross-ice feed past Miller before he could slide across the crease. Chicago had plenty of chances early on. A quick reaction by Buffalo defenceman Tyler Myers prevented what appeared to be a sure goal. Miller got a piece of a close-in shot by Marian Hossa, but the puck continued toward the upper left corner of the net. Myers swatted the puck out of midair with his stick before it crossed the goal line. The Sabres finally began to test Crawford in the second with a flurry and several prime chances, but he stopped them all. His best stop came on a point-blank attempt by Steve Ott with 6:50 left in the period. Staffords goal completed a 3-on-2 rush. After taking Cody Hodgsons quick pass, Stafford slid a low shot past Crawford from the left circle. The Sabres outshot Chicago 13-3 in the third and tested Crawford in the final minutes. Crawford stopped Thomas Vaneks slap shot and then Hodgsons point-blank rebound attempt with just over four minutes left to preserve the lead. "If you look at the chances, we were even or better 5-on-5," Sabres coach Ron Rolston said. "We ran into some problems early with too many penalties." "I thought we had more chances from more lines, not just our top line," he added. "We havent had that the last couple of games, so thats a positive for us."
