MINNEAPOLIS -- The clock was ticking for the Minnesota Wild and free agent right wing Nino Niederreiter with the opening of training camp a week away. Adidas Supercolor Cena . Deadlines often spur action, and thats exactly what happened Thursday when the Wild signed Niederreiter to a three-year contract. The two sides went back and forth all summer long, with Russia looming as a possible Plan B for the 22-year-old forward who scored the series-clinching goal in overtime of Game 7 to beat the Colorado Avalanche in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. But with the Wild due to report for training camp Sept. 18, general manager Chuck Fletcher was able to lock a deal in with one of the teams many up-and-coming players. "Im excited and happy to stay a part of the WILD family," Niederreiter tweeted after signing what the Star Tribune of Minneapolis reported was an $8 million deal. Niederreiter was acquired in a trade from the New York Islanders last summer and blossomed into a promising power forward in his first season in Minnesota. He scored a career-high 14 goals and had 22 assists to help the Wild reach the playoffs. He was huge in that Game 7 win over the Avalanche, scoring two goals and assisting on the other in a 3-2 victory. The signing leaves goalie Darcy Kuemper as the Wilds lone remaining free agent.

Josh Harding is trying to play despite being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and Niklas Backstrom has battled injuries the last few seasons. The 24-year-old Kuemper went 12-8 with a 2.43 goals-against average last season. http://www.freeflyknitprodejcz.com/adidas-superstar-supercolor-pack-bold-modre-boty-panska-damske-s41814.html .

Paul George stepped up. All over the court, over and over again. George had 27 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and the Pacers used a big second-half run to rally for a 101-85 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series. George Hill scored each of his 15 points in the second half, helping top-seeded Indiana earn a split of the first two post-season games at home. George also had four steals and blocked a shot while helping keep Hawks point guard Jeff Teague in check. "Thats why he was in the MVP conversation early," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "He always does those types of things, guarding the best perimeter player, rebounding the ball, deflecting the ball. His hands were all over the place. It makes him one of the most complete players in the game when he plays like he did tonight."" The Pacers sure needed it. For seven weeks, Indiana heard everyone question its fortitude, team chemistry, even whether it was worthy of a No. 1 seed. The complaints grew louder after Saturdays 101-93 loss. George and his teammates spent the next 72 hours seeking solutions and defiantly insisting they would be OK. On Tuesday, they finally reverted to their early season from. Indiana limited the Hawks to 33 second-half points and dominated the third quarter. Next up is Game 3 on Thursday in Atlanta, where the Pacers have only two wins since December 2006 -- though one of those closed out last years first-round playoff series in six games. "We want to build on what weve got going," Indiana forward David West said. "We want to continue to be aggressive. We know theyre going to play better at home, but were going down there to get back in charge of this series." George was 9 for 16 from the field, including a 5-for-7 performance from 3-point range. He also went 4 for 4 at the line. Perhaps more importantly, he managed to contain Teague affter he burned Indiana for 28 points in Game 1. Nike Air Presto Cz. George wanted the responsibility of guarding Teague, who had seven points in the first quarter and seven more for the rest of the game. "I sat down and it was homework for me, just locking into his tendencies and figuring out where I will get beat or where Im vulnerable against him," George said. "Its a challenge." George was the catalyst, but he had plenty of help. Hill, who had been mired in an offensive funk, made 5 of 6 shots in the second half. Luis Scola, who kept the Pacers close when West got into early foul trouble, finished with 20 points and seven rebounds. The defence that gave up 11 3-pointers in Game 1 and eight more in the first half of Game 2, allowed just two over the final 24 minutes. "Our execution on both ends of the court wasnt at the level we need it to be," Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. "Give them credit, they were aggressive, they made a lot of plays and our execution, particularly in the third quarter has to be better. Thats what well work on." Indiana appeared to be in trouble when it trailed 38-27 in the second quarter and was still down 52-48 at halftime. But the Pacers stormed into the lead with a 31-13 third quarter. West sparked a 25-2 run with a bank shot that made it 70-65 with 3:20 left in the third. George made a buzzer-beating 3 to make it 79-65 heading into the fourth, and the Pacers scored the first eight points of the final period. "If thats what it took for everyone to understand how close this team is, thats what it was," George said. "Weve got each others back and thats what it felt like."
