PORTLAND, Ore. Nike Air Max 97 Schuhe. -- The NBA said a goaltending call in the final seconds of regulation in the Portland Trail Blazers overtime loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night was incorrect. Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge was called for goaltending on Kevin Durants attempted layup with six seconds left. The call tied the game at 103 and it went to overtime. The Thunder went on to win 111-107. Fans at the Rose Garden booed the officials as they left the court, and debate over the call raged on the Internet and on local sports talk radio. "With the benefit of slow motion replay following the game, it has been determined that Aldridge made contact with the ball just before the ball hit the backboard. Therefore, this should have been ruled a good block and goaltending was the incorrect call," according to a statement posted on NBA.com on Tuesday. Referees cannot use instant replay on goaltending calls. After the game, coach Nate McMillan said: "I thought it was a good block. That game should have been over." Aldridge, who finished with a season-best 39 points, also maintained the block was clean. "The ref who called it was the furthest one from the basket, so thats pretty interesting," he said. Durant led the Thunder with 33 points. Air Max + 2013 Schuhe Schwarz.

Air Max 90 Damen Schwarz. -- Washington Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon and safety Brandon Meriweather are unlikely to play again this week, postponing their return until after the bye. San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Jonathan Quick was perfect between the pipes and Drew Doughty scored twice and assisted on Los Angeles other two goals, as the Kings took Game 2 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series with the San Jose Sharks, 4-0, in dominating fashion. Quick made 42 saves in Game 1, but let up Joe Pavelskis overtime winner to lose, 3-2. The 25-year-old netminder was up to the task on Saturday, however, stopping all 34 shots he faced to send the series back to Los Angeles tied at a game apiece. I got a lot of help from the 20 guys in the locker room, a humble Quick said. Jack Johnson and Kyle Clifford each had a goal and an assist in the win. Antti Niemi made only 19 saves for the Sharks, who failed to score on five power-play opportunities. Game 3 will take place at Staples Center on Tuesday. The Kings took control with a pair of power-play goals in the opening period. With Sharks forward Ben Eager in the penalty box for slashing, Johnson let loose a slap shot from the left point that surprised a screened Niemi at the 12:13 mark. Less than two minutes later, Doughty drew a penalty on Ryane Clowe, then was left all alone betweenn the circles when the Sharks were caught in a sloppy line change. Nike Air Max + 2013 Schuhe Schwarz His slap shot with 4:17 remaining made it 2-0. To come out and dominate a game like that was huge for us, Doughty said. Los Angeles killed off a penalty late in the second, and made it a three-goal game thanks to Doughty, who again was left uncovered at the point and used a delayed slap shot to beat Niemi between his pads at 15:42. The HP Pavilion crowd was taken completely out of it -- if they hadnt been already -- 4:54 into the third when Clifford took Brad Richardsons pass from behind the net and back-handed it in. The Kings were satisfied protecting their four-goal lead the rest of the game, and the lifeless Sharks allowed them do to so. If we dont have anger or a bit of shame ... I would be extremely disappointed, Sharks head coach Todd McLellan said of his teams attitude following its poor effort. GAME NOTES:The Kings won despite being without 20-goal scorer Jarret Stoll, who was suspended one game for his hit from behind on San Jose defenseman Ian White during Thursdays loss...This is the first time the Sharks and Kings are meeting in the postseason.
