BOSTON -- Putting together a five-game winning streak and getting 10 games above
.
Nike Free
Flyknit Australia .500 were once common achievements for the Dallas
Mavericks. Now, both are season highs as Dallas slowly works its way back into
playoff contention in the Western Conference. Dirk Nowitzki scored 20 points,
Shawn Marion finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds, and the Mavericks beat the
Boston Celtics 102-91 Sunday night to extend their winning streak to five
straight. "There are encouraging signs, but theres no way we can exhale or start
feeling good," coach Rick Carlisle said. Jose Calderon added 18 points and
Monta Ellis played through a sore hamstring and scored 11 for Dallas, which won
for the sixth time in seven games and pulled 10 games above .500 for the first
time this season at 31-21. "Were looking to move up," Nowitzki said. "If you
look at the standings, (places) five through eight is only separated by a couple
of games. Wed love to keep pushing." Vince Carter scored 14, Devin Harris had 12
points and Samuel Dalembert grabbed 11 rebounds for Dallas. The Mavericks led by
six at halftime and pulled away in the third quarter by outscoring the Celtics
28-18. "The third quarter and the start of the fourth killed us and took us out
of the game," Boston coach Brad Stevens said. Rajon Rondo had 15 points, 12
assists and eight rebounds for Boston, which had won three straight games.
Jeff Green scored 18 and Jared Sullinger had 11 points and 12 rebounds for the
Celtics. Boston managed to stay close through the first half despite shooting 27
per cent, then Dallas took command early in the third quarter and pulled ahead
by as many as 24 points before the Celtics rallied when it was too late. "We
still kept it close. That was the beauty of it," Sullinger said. "We played
hard, but they just got away and the deficit was so big we couldnt dig ourselves
out of that hole." The Mavericks opened the second half on a 16-5 run, holding
the Celtics to two field goals through the first 6:29 of the third quarter. A
3-pointer by Green got Boston within 53-43, but Calderon answered from beyond
the arc and Marion and Dalembert followed with layups to extend the Mavericks
lead to 60-43. "In the third quarter, we were doing the same kind of defence,
but now we were sharing the ball and making open shots and thats what the
difference was," Calderon said. Bostons only scoring run in the period was a 4-0
spurt late on layups by Kris Humphries and Kelly Olynyk, which Dallas negated in
the last minute on two foul shots by Harris and an alley-oop from Harris to
Brandan Wright with 5 seconds remaining to give the Mavericks a 72-56 lead
entering the fourth. Wright opened the fourth with another alley-oop from
Carter, who added a layup for Dallas eighth point in a row and the Mavericks
lead was up to 76-56. The Celtics put together a late run to make it close down
the stretch before running out of time. Rondo and Green hit back-to-back
3-pointers to pull Boston within 96-84 with 2:25 remaining. Johnson added
another 3-pointer with 1:18 to get the Celtics within 98-89, but Calderon hit a
layup to put the Mavericks back up by double-digits. NOTES: Olynyk finished with
14 points and Humphries scored 10 for Boston. ... Marion got his seventh
double-double of the season. ... The Mavericks had one other four-game winning
streak this season, but had reached five beating Utah on Friday and Boston on
Sunday. ... Rondo was the only Boston starter to make more than two field goals
in the first half with four. ... Nowitzki scored 15 in the first half. ... The
Celtics shot 27 per cent (13 for 48) in the first half and opened the third
quarter 2 for 10.

. - Major league baseball teams spend a lot of time working with their prospects
on hitting and throwing, on throwing to the cutoff man and which base to cover
on the wheel play.OAKLAND, Calif. - Sonny Gray struck out eight to win his third
straight decision, and the Oakland Athletics beat the San Francisco Giants 6-1
on Tuesday night for their sixth consecutive victory. Coco Crisp hit an RBI
single and stole his 16th base and Nick Punto doubled in a run during a four-run
third against Madison Bumgarner (9-7), handed his second three-start skid of the
year. The lefty didnt allow a hit until Jed Lowries blooper leading off the
third that landed in front of a charging right fielder Hunter Pence, who avoided
a collision with second baseman Joe Panik. Oakland did all its damage that
inning on the way to matching its season-high winning streak. The As (57-33)
concluded their homestand 6-0, just the 11th undefeated homestand of six or more
games in Oakland history. The low-budget club with baseballs best record has won
11 of its past 12 games at the Coliseum. Gray (9-3) reached eight or more
strikeouts for the fourth time in seven impressive innings, having struck out
nine twice. He is on a nice roll after losing back-to-back starts to the Orioles
and Yankees on June 7 and 13. It was an impressive first start against the
Giants for the right-hander in his first full big league season. He showed his
poise on the big stage facing the Tigers twice in last falls five-game AL
division series loss. The As have outscored the Giants 11-1 in the first two
games of the Bay Bridge Series following a 5-0 win Monday. The interleague
series now shifts across San Francisco Bay to AT&T Park for two. San
Francisco avoided being shut out in consecutive games for the first time since
July 28-29, 2012, against the Dodgers at AT&T Park. Yet the Giannts lost for
the 11th time in their past 13 games at Oakland dating to the 2010 season when
they went on to win the World Series.

Pablo Sandoval returned to the Giants lineup for the first time since leaving
Saturdays game at San Diego in the first inning with a bruised left elbow.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy requested a review of a close play at first in which
Sandoval was called out trying to beat out a fourth-inning grounder. The call
was upheld after a replay review of 1 minute, 28 seconds. Bochy came out again
in the eighth to argue after reliever Jean Machi was called for a balk. Machi
was then ejected by plate umpire Angel Hernandez as the reliever walked off the
field at the end of the inning. As starters have thrown six or more innings
while allowing one or fewer runs in six straight games, their longest streak
since at least 1914. NOTES: As RF Josh Reddick is making progress toward a rehab
assignment as he recovers from a strained right knee and his second DL stint. He
could play in minor league games as soon as this weekend and during the All-Star
break. Reddick has shagged fly balls and thrown without issue the past two days,
wearing a bulky brace he expects he will need the rest of the year. ... Oakland
manager Bob Melvin presented Oaklands seven All-Stars — including then-NL
All-Star Jeff Samardjiza — with red jerseys before the game. ... Giants 2B
Marco Scutaro, who hasnt played this year because of a lower back strain, went 0
for 4 with two strikeouts and a run scored for Triple-A Fresno. Bochy expects
him to soon play nine innings in a rehab game. "Were seeing the light at the end
of the tunnel," Bochy said.
