MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Love is used to carrying the beat-up Minnesota Timberwolves lately. This time, he finally had some help when he sat down to take a rest. Love had 42 points and 16 rebounds, Ricky Rubio tied a franchise high with 17 assists, and the Timberwolves beat Paul George and the Indiana Pacers 104-91 on Wednesday night. J.J. Barea scored 12 points off the bench as the Wolves took control early against the Eastern Conference leaders. "This is one of my favourite wins of the season just because we played a very good team," Love said. "We did it without two key players and we fought hard." George led Indiana with 35 points, but managed just two in the fourth quarter as the Pacers lost for the third time in five games, never once taking a lead. "We just didnt have a whole lot of pop tonight," said David West, who scored four points and struggled guarding Love all night. "This is a game that I thought we would come out and play a little better than we did. We just didnt have it, just a step or two slow." It was Loves eighth straight game with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds, the longest streak since Shaquille ONeal accomplished the same feat Jan. 3-19, 2005. Love has an NBA-best 14 games with 30 points and 10 rebounds this season. "I thought a lot of the shots he made was good defence," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "You have to give him credit. He is an extraordinary player and he played an extraordinary game tonight." In their first game since the All-Star break as they try to make a late-season run and catch Golden State for the final playoff spot in the West, the Wolves came out running and led by 16 when Love came out for a rest 3 minutes into the second quarter. Minnesotas reserves have been unable to hold their ground when Love goes to the bench recently, but they did fine on Wednesday. Barea, the subject of recent trade rumours, scored eight straight points during one stretch -- including a circus shot on the fast break over C.J. Watson that increased Minnesotas lead to 20 with 6:48 left in the half. "When he gets his rest, we need other people to step up," Barea said. "Tonight, we were able to do that." Love scored 18 points in the third quarter, including a jumper from just inside the 3-point line with 0.8 seconds left that pushed the Wolves lead back up to 10 after an Indiana run. Minnesota, playing without injured starters Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Martin, led by as many as 17 in the third quarter. However, with Love sitting to start the fourth, a jumper from Watson early in the quarter cut Indianas deficit to five and gave the Pacers hope. But again, Minnesotas reserves held on. Barea knocked down a jump shot in front of the Wolves bench to extend the lead back to 11 with 8:33 to play and the Wolves never looked back. "Coach came to me and said hes going to give me a little bit of a rest," Love said. "He came to me during the timeout and said These guys are rolling. I said Great, just keep them in as long as you need to. Those guys just did a great job and really stepped up and took advantage of the opportunity tonight." When Love returned, he reeled in a full-court pass from Rubio with his fingertips and slammed it home to give the Wolves a 98-84 lead. Indiana went into the All-Star break stuck in a shooting slump, but shot 50 per cent in a win over Atlanta on Tuesday. The Pacers made just 8 of 22 shots to start Wednesdays game and finished at 40 per cent. "We will reflect on this," George said. "We really didnt want to lose and drop this game. But we have to move on. Its all about the next game." George Hill finished with 13 points and Lance Stephenson had 10 despite missing his first six shots. NOTES: Wolves coach Rick Adelman on how trade rumours impact players as the deadline approaches: "I think it definitely affects them. But its all part of the business, especially now," he said. ... The Pacers are 8-7 on the second game of a back-to-back. "Not really," Vogel answered after he was asked if he, George and Roy Hibbert have caught up on rest after All-Star weekend. "Im a little more tired than usual. Im sure those guys are. But it doesnt mean anything. Still have to go out and win games." The Wolves still dont know when Pekovic or Martin will return. Adelman said Martin will get his injured thumb examined again in the next day or two. .. Wolves centre Ronny Turiaf left in the fourth quarter with a right knee injury and didnt return. Dave Taylor Jersey .com) - The St. Drew Doughty Jersey . -- Another baseball tradition is about to largely disappear: a manager, with a crazed look in his eyes, charging the field and getting into a face-to-face shouting match with an umpire. http://www.authenticlakingspro.com/Rogie-vachon-kings-jersey/ . Detroits powerful offence made that unnecessary. Scherzer allowed two hits and struck out seven, and the Tigers backed their star right-hander with three early homers in an 8-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night. Jake Muzzin Jersey .

The Blue Jackets play Thursday night at New Jersey in their first game after the NHLs Olympic hiatus. A native of Trencin, Slovakia, Gaborik has represented his country at the 2006 and 2010 Olympics but was unable to play in Sochi because of his injury.In his final start before Game 1 of the upcoming American League Division Series, Chris Tillman looks to avoid his first loss since mid-July as the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night open a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays. Tillman has come a long way for the Orioles since he was acquired from Seattle in 2008 as part of the package for Erik Bedard. Baltimore also got talented outfielder Adam Jones in that deal. The 26-year-old Tillman is 13-5 with a 3.26 earned run average this season, going 6-0 with a 2.06 ERA in 13 starts since the All-Star break. He has not lost since July 12 and has not allowed more than three earned runs in 20 consecutive starts dating back to early June. Because of that, Tillman has already been named the starter for the first game of Baltimores upcoming ALDS series against a still-to-be decided opponent. It means a lot, Tillman told Baltimores website of getting the start. Im excited about it, looking forward to it. Ive still got one more start to go [in the regular season], so Im pretty focused on that, but at the same time, I know it means a lot to the team and means a lot to me. Hopefully, Ill get us going in the right direction. The right-hander is coming off a win over Boston on Saturday in which he allowed two runs over seven innings. However, Tillman is just 1-2 with a 4.35 ERA in three starts versus Toronto this season. Baltimores regular season-ending series with Toronto figuures to be more low key than its recently wrapped four-game set with the New York Yankees.dddddddddddd That marked the last home series for the career of retiring shortstop Derek Jeter, who in dramatic fashion lifted the Yankees to a walk-off 6-5 win over the Os on Thursday. The ever-dramatic Jeter stepped to the plate with a runner on second in the ninth inning and laced a patented opposite-field single through the hole between first and second base. Antoan Richardson slid in safely in front of Nick Markakis throw. Baltimore had tied the game in the ninth on a two-run homer by Jones and a solo blast off the bat of Steve Pearce. It was cool, Jones said of the atmosphere. But we wanted to win the game. Toronto will be trying to win this game tonight behind right-hander Drew Hutchison, who has lost back-to-back starts. That includes a 5-2 setback to the Yankees on Sunday. Hutchison allowed two runs, but on five hits and three walks as he lasted just four innings. The 24-year-old did strike out six to give him 27 over his past three outings. He is 10-13 on the year with a 4.51 ERA and 3-1 with a 2.15 ERA in seven career starts versus Baltimore. Toronto is a game back of second-place New York in the AL East. The Blue Jays outscored Seattle 25-6 in winning the first three of a four-game set, but lost Thursdays finale 7-5. The Orioles have won four straight and 10 of 16 versus the Blue Jays this season.
