LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – It wasn’t pretty, but it counts in the
win column. Second-ranked Syracuse shot less than 35 percent from

DALLAS (AP) – NBA Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki (noh-VIHT’-skee)
scored half of his team-high 22 points over the final six-plus
minutes to lead the Mavericks to a 96-92 victory over the Pacific
Division-leading L.A. Clippers last night in Dallas. It extends the
defending champion’s winning streak to four games
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) – The NHL’s Northwest Division
leader survived yet another overtime game last night. Vancouver

their fourth shootout win in seven tries during that span.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – Three days shy of his 53rd birthday,
John McEnroe showed tennis fans in San Jose that he still has the
deft touch that helped him win seven Grand Slam singles titles and
10 major doubles titles from 1977-92. McEnroe teamed with young
American Jack Sock to beat Gael Monfils (GAH’-ehl mohn-FEES’) and
Steve Johnson 6-4, 6-4 in a lighthearted exhibition match on the
first night of the SAP Open.
