(SportsNetwork.com) - Derrick Rose has been shooting poorly the last two games for the Chicago Bulls and will try to find his touch Thursday in the continuation of a five-game homestand versus the Denver Nuggets. Rose made 5-of-20 shots (25.0) for 17 points in a 92-90 win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday, then shot 2-of-15 (13.3) for four points the next night in a 96-82 loss versus the Brooklyn Nets in the opener of the homestand. Its only two games, Rose said on the teams website. Im not going to stop shooting and I know when I do start knocking them down its going to be something different. Missed a lot of floaters, too. A lot were in and out. I dont know what it is. Leading scorer Jimmy Butler was limited to eight points in the loss to the Nets and entered the game averaging 26.4 points in his previous seven games. Mike Dunleavy scored 23 points and Joakim Noah added 12 and 12 rebounds, while Pau Gasol finished with 10 points, seven boards and seven assists for the Bulls, who had a seven-game win streak halted and shot 38.4 percent. The Central-leading Bulls are still 10-2 in the last 12 games and 8-6 at the United Center. The loss to the Nets ended a six-game home winning streak. Chicago will also host Boston, Houston and Utah on the homestand. Denver hopes to ring in the new year on a positive note and went 1-2 on a recent homestand. The Nuggets defeated Minnesota to open the residency, but dropped back-to-back meetings with Toronto and Los Angeles (Lakers). In the 111-103 setback to the Lakers on Tuesday, Kobe Bryant posted a triple- double of 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to lead the visitors. Ty Lawson and Jusuf Nurkic scored 16 points apiece and Nate Robinson recorded 13 off the bench for the Nuggets, who shot a decent 44.8 percent. Our first unit didnt play with the same kind of energy as the second unit did, Denver coach Brian Shaw said. The Nuggets, who lost for the 11th time in 15 tries, scored 32 points off 20 turnovers, but had trouble defending the perimeter. The Lakers made 14-of-25 3-pointers. Denver is 4-11 away from home and will try to stop a six-game road losing streak tonight in the Windy City. On the injury front for the Nuggets, forward Wilson Chandler is questionable Thursday with a bruised quadriceps. The Nuggets are struggling on defense, allowing 104.5 ppg, and defeated the Bulls, 114-109, at home on Nov. 25. Lawson had 20 points, 12 assists and three steals, while Butler ended with 32 points and nine rebounds in that one for the Bulls, who fell to 3-9 in the last 12 games in this series. The Nuggets are 2-6 on the road against Eastern Conference opponents. Зарегистрируйтесь, чтобы увидеть ссылку! .

The CFL unveiled its 2014 schedule Wednesday and the Redblacks will play their first-ever regular-season game in Winnipeg against the Blue Bombers on July 3.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Every time the San Francisco offence opened the door for the reeling New York Giants, the 49ers defence closed it. Rookie linebacker Chris Borland intercepted a fourth-down pass by Eli Manning at the 49ers 2 with 4:43 to play to cap a goal-line stand and San Francisco defeated New York 16-10 Sunday, sending the error-plagued Giants to their fifth straight loss. Theres no give-up in our guys, said Borland, who had two of the five interceptions by the 49ers (6-4). Borland is the first 49ers rookie with two picks in a game. He joined Ken Norton Jr. in 1995 as the only 49ers linebackers with two interceptions in a game over the past 40 years. We have guys, veterans, who have been there a lot. When it was going tough, we just pressed on and kept looking forward. Back-to-back wins on the road, were all excited. It should have been a lot easier. San Francisco had almost 35 minutes in time of possession and five takeaways, but it had to sweat out a first-and-goal from its 4 to win. Blame that on the 49ers offence. Its contribution against a Giants defence that had given up 136 points in its last four games was a 48-yard touchdown pass from Colin Kaepernick to Michael Crabtree and three first-half field goals by Phil Dawson. A possible fourth field goal was lost when holder Andy Lee could not catch a snap on a day that 49ers special teams also allowed New York to recover an onside kick. It was a spectacular performance by our defence today, San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said. So many guys stepped up and played great, living in the moment and competing like the dickens and making tremendous and athletic football plays. The game also marked the return of 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith, who was active for the first time after missing the first nine games because of a suspension. Manning threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to tight end Larry Donnell on New Yorks opening possession, but the Giants (3-7) only got a field goal from Josh Brown the rest of the way. After throwing six interceptions in the Giants first nine games, Manning nearly equaled that number while tying a single-game career high against the 49ers. We made it hard for him, Smith said of Manning, who was hit twice by the linebacker. Making him uncomfortable in the pocket and moving him around, pressuring him from everywhere. The game was decided in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter when Manning drove the Giants from their 35 to the San Francisco 4, where they had a first-and-goal following a spectacular 37-yard leaping catch by rookie Odell Beckham Jr.dddddddddddd over Perrish Cox. Three fade patterns to Beckham, Rueben Randle and Donnell fell incomplete. Manning tried to force a pass to Preston Parker on fourth down, but Dontae Johnson tipped the ball and Borland came up with his second pick. Four shots from the 4-yard line - its inexcusable that we didnt score, Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. New York had a chance to take the lead earlier in the quarter, driving to the San Francisco 32. On a second-and-5, Manning and his receiver seemed a little out of synch and Chris Culliver intercepted the pass near the 10. I have to make better throws, said Manning, who finished 22 of 45 for 280 yards. Its no one elses fault. Ive got to protect the ball and not turn it over. I turned it over close a couple of times and that cant happen. Michael Wilhoite and Eric Reid also intercepted Manning. The Giants opening drive kept them in the game. After recovering a fumble by Frank Gore (19 rushes for 95 yards) at the Giants 37, Manning capped a five-play drive with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Donnell. It marked the first time in 20 games that New York scored a touchdown on its opening drive. After three field goals by Dawson, San Francisco stretched the lead to 16-7 early in the third quarter when Kaepernick (15 of 29 for 193 yards) found Crabtree across the middle and the receiver outran five defenders for a 48-yard catch-and-run. Were trying to take advantage of the opportunities that we have, Kaepernick said. We know our backs are against the wall. We have to play every week like its our last game. Brown narrowed the gap to 16-10 with a 43-yard field goal midway through the third quarter and New York seemingly got a boost when it recovered the ensuing onside kick. However, the offence faltered and New York did not make the plays down the stretch. NOTES: Randle led the Giants with seven catches for 112 yards, while Beckham had six for 93 yards. ...
