Portland, OR (SportsNetwork.com) - Klay Thompson is quickly proving he is worth every penny to his recently signed four-year contract extension that will keep him in the Bay Area. Thompsons runner in the lane with 8.7 seconds proved to be the difference in the Golden State Warriors 95-90 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Thompson, who signed a max extension worth a projected $70 million on Friday, scored a career-high 41 points in Saturdays win over the Los Angeles Lakers, then kept the momentum going with his clutch bucket on Sunday. LaMarcus Aldridge scored the final 10 points for Portland, the last of which a jumper that gave the hosts a 90-88 lead with 2:01 remaining in the fourth quarter. Andre Iguodala split a pair of free throws with 26.3 seconds left before the Warriors forced a turnover of Wesley Matthews. Matthews grabbed the inbounds pass and a pair of Warrior defenders swarmed him. He lost the ball and it rolled out of bounds, with the officials awarding possession to the Blazers. But after a replay review, the call was overturned. Thompson ran the baseline coming out of timeout, rolled up the block, received a crisp pass from Iguodala and converted the running jumper. Portland then got sloppy and turned it over two more times in the closing seconds and Stephen Curry sealed it at the line with four free throws. Jarvis Jones Womens Jersey .

"I sensed that the hockey club is very, very tense right now," Carlyle said Saturday morning during a introductory news conference at the Bell Centre. "I feel that the confidence level of the group is probably at a low where its my responsibility as a head coach and a coaching staff to pick these guys up. Theyve got to feel a lot better about themselves than where they are today." Freefalling down the Eastern Conference standings, the Leafs dropped 10 of their final 11 games under Ron Wilson, who was fired on Friday, falling from a secure position in the playoff hunt to 12th in the Eastern Conference (65 points) with only 18 games to play. "It became obvious to me in the last week that we needed to make a coaching change if we wanted to try to salvage this season," a stern-looking Brian Burke said during the news conference. "Ive never had a team fall off a cliff like this before in my life. Ive had dips and Ive had slumps, had rough patches, but this akin to an 18-wheeler going right off a cliff and Ive never seen anything like it before in my life. I dont know what happened." Contacting his former team in Anaheim for permission to speak with Carlyle on Wednesday, Burke e-mailed Wilson on Friday afternoon from Boston, set to deliver the news in person at the teams hotel in Montreal later that night. The tipping point for the Leafs president and general manager emerged less than a week prior, his club dropping a 5-3 decision to the Panthers in Toronto amidst a chorus of chants from a crowd yearning for Wilsons dismissal. "After the last home game, it was clear to me that it would be cruel and unusual punishment to let Ron coach another game at the Air Canada Centre," Burke said. "I wasnt going to put him thrrough that.dddddddddddd" Addressing the subject of prospective coaching changes in the past, Burke always spoke of the need for indicators which showed a coach unable to get through to his team. He saw one such example firsthand in the loss to Florida. "To me, it was clear at that point by then that the team wasnt listening," Burke said, "watching the bench they werent paying attention, they werent buying in and it was time." A former draft pick of the organization, Carlyle joins the Leafs after a seven-year stint with the Ducks during which he won a Stanley Cup alongside Burke in 2007. With an old-school, hard-nosed style, Carlyle is known to be sharp and highly demanding of his players. "I dont like coaches who are warm and fuzzy," Burke said, noting TSN analyst Marc Crawford and Toronto Marlies head coach Dallas Eakins as other prominent candidates in the search for the teams next head coach. "I like coaches who are hard on players." Carlyle was fired by the Ducks earlier this season after a 7-13-4 start, replaced by Bruce Boudreau. Hell look to rejeuvenate the speed of the slumping Leafs. "I remember this hockey club playing against us in Anaheim and the number one thing that they able to prove to me as an opposing coach is they could skate," Carlyle said. "And thats what they have to get back to. Theyre a skating hockey club and theyve got to get on their horse and start to skate." "We have to find a way to re-energize the group," he concluded. "Its not that they have lost their skills, its just that we have to rekindle their spirit. Its important for them to go and feel good about themselves. They have an opportunity now to show a new face, a first-time impression. And thats what we talked about, Im new here. Lets make sure that you give me everything youve got both on and off the ice." cheap jerseys cheap jerseys china cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
