FLIMS, Switzerland - Edmontons Kelsey Rocque captured two wins Friday in the
womens draw at the world junior curling championship.
Kellen Winslow Jersey . Rocques rink had
steals in two ends and scored four in the eighth en route to an 8-3 win over
Sweden before claiming an 8-5 victory over Switzerland. That left Canada (4-2)
in a four-way tie for second behind front-running Russia (5-1). "That was a
strong performance by the team overall," Rocque said between games. "I think
that win will help our confidence a lot. "We had two tough losses (Thursday) so
carrying that forward, we know we can play well and compete at this level."
Rocque took control of the match against Switzerland by scoring two with the
hammer and registering steals in two ends en route to a 6-1 lead at the break.
The Swiss rallied before the hometown crowd but the Canadians held on for the
win. Rocque takes on American Cory Christensen (4-2) on Saturday. In mens
action, Winnipegs Braden Calvert dropped a 10-5 decision to Scotland before
rallying for an 8-4 win over China. That leaves the Canada (2-3) in a three-way
tie for sixth. Canada fell behind Scotland 6-1 through five ends but cut the
deficit to 7-5 after eight. But Smith scored three in the ninth to clinch the
victory. Calvert said coming back for the win over winless China (0-5) was good
for his squad. "It was really good to bounce back and get a win like that," said
Calvert. "The guys played really good and it gives us a lot of momentum going
into (Saturday)." Canada faces Norway (5-0) and Switzerland (3-2) on Saturday.

controlling owner Robert Pera has removed the interim tag and named Chris
Wallace as Memphis general manager, signing him to a multi-year contract keeping
him with the franchise. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The large icepack on LeBron James
right shoulder said it all. Attempting 25 shots in a game will do that, the
four-time MVP said. James overcame a mid-game shooting slump to score 34 points
and help the Miami Heat beat the Charlotte Bobcats for the 15th straight time,
104-96 in overtime Saturday night. "The game presented itself for me to be
aggressive and I was able to shoot a lot. It felt, well... thats why Im icing my
shoulder now," James said with a laugh. James wasnt laughing much in the second
quarter. After hitting his first five shots from the field, James missed his
next nine shots. But he turned that around late in the second half, hitting 8 of
11 shots from the field to close the game, including two driving layups in
overtime. "I came out shooting the ball extremely well and then I just hit a
cold streak," James said. "My teammates kept confidence in me and I was able to
get it going again." Chris Bosh added 25 points and seven rebounds for Miami. It
was a costly loss for the Bobcats as starting point guard Kemba Walker sprained
his left ankle midway through the third quarter when he stepped on Chris Boshs
foot. He did not return. Walker left the locker room on crutches and with a boot
on his left ankle. X-rays were negative, but coach Steve Clifford said Walker
will have an MRI on Sunday to determine the extent of the damage. "Hes going to
be out a while," Clifford said. Ironically, Al Jefferson missed the first two
regular season games after he stepped on Boshs foot in the preseason and turned
his ankle. Without their floor general, the Bobcats didnt stand much of a chance
against the Heat. Jefferson had 22 points to lead the Bobcats, who were playing
their fourth game in five nights. Jefferson had averaged 29.6 points over the
previous three games, but the Heat clamped down on him in the second half and
the Bobcats went cold from the field. "If he can catch it whenever he wants to,
there is not much you can do," Bosh said. "We had traps and were able to give
him different looks and I think that changed his timing up a little bit and
played to our advantage." The Heat never trailed in overtime. James two free
throws gave Miami a 98-95 advantage. After Mario Chalmers blocked Jeffersons
put-back try froom behind, James then drove to the basket and scored on the
right side to push the lead to five with 1:22 left in overtime.
Jason Verrett Chargers Jersey. He tried the
left side on the next possession against Anthony Tolliver and succeed with a
driving left-handed layup with 36 seconds remaining to push the lead to six.
Josh McRoberts and Tolliver each had costly turnovers in overtime for the
Bobcats, who have lost 10 of their last 13. The Bobcats led most of the game but
the Heat tied the score at 88 when James knocked down a jumper with 5 minutes
left in regulation. But the teams only scored two points apiece in the final 5
minutes of the fourth quarter. Charlottes Ramon Sessions air-balled a 17-footer
as the shot clock expired and James 18-footer rimmed out at the buzzer, sending
the game to overtime. "I saw some grit," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Our
guys were not happy at halftime and wanted to take a lot more pride in our
defence and not just be talk but to walk the talk. They did a good job. They had
us moving around and were moving the ball and attacking us and getting great
looks. The second half there was more of a concentration -- not only the effort
but a discipline " Ray Allen started in place of Dwayne Wade, who rested his
knee after scoring eight points in the Heats win Friday night at Philadelphia.
Allen got the Heat started strong with a reverse layup and a drive down the lane
to build an early 9-2 lead and finished with 12 points and nine rebounds.
Greg Oden played in his second game since returning from a long layoff and
looked plenty rusty with one point and three fouls in seven minutes. Despite the
loss, Clifford said he felt good about his teams effort. "We played a good
game," Clifford said. "I feel like were getting back to fighting, defending and
staying in games. Hopefully that will help us going forward." NOTES: The crowd
of 19,631 was the largest ever to see a Bobcats game at Time Warner Cable Arena
on a night in which the team began selling its Hornets gear for the first time.
The Bobcats will become the Hornets after this season. ... Along with Wade,
Chris Andersen did not play for the Heat. ... James heard it from the fans after
air-balling a 3-point attempt late in the first quarter. ... The Heat
outrebounded the Bobcats 43-34.
