(SportsNetwork.com) - Will Klay Thompson have enough in the tank when the Golden State Warriors host the Boston Celtics Sunday at Oracle Arena? Coming off his record showing in Fridays 126-101 victory over the Sacramento Kings, Thompson goes for an encore performance in the continuation of a five- game homestand. Thompson set an NBA record for points in a quarter with 37 in the third stanza, burying nine 3-pointers and making all 13 of his shots. Thompson finished with a career-high 52 points on 16-of-25 shooting, including an 11-of-15 clip from downtown. They just kept wanting to see the show. Thats what they kept telling me, Thompson said of his teammates. The sharp-shooting Thompson surpassed the 33-point mark set by George Gervin in 1978 and matched by Carmelo Anthony in 2008 for the most points in a quarter. Marreese Speights added 19 points off the bench and Stephen Curry finished with 10 and 11 assists for the Warriors, who extended their franchise-record home winning streak to 18 games. Golden State recorded a 41-22 scoring advantage during the historic this quarter and improved to 20-1 at home. The Warriors, who lead the league with 111.1 points per game, are 3-0 on the homestand and have won 12 of their last 13 games overall. They will close the residency Tuesday versus the Chicago Bulls. Boston has won two in a row following a three-game slide and will continue its six-game western sojourn Sunday night in a tough arena. The Celtics edged the Denver Nuggets, 100-99, Friday at the Pepsi Center and were led by Avery Bradleys go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:24 left in the game. He missed one last night that he thought he should have made. He made up for it tonight, said Celtics head coach Brad Stevens. Bradley posted 18 points, Brandon Bass netted 17 and Jared Sullinger registered 14 points for the Celtics, who were coming off a last-second win over the Portland Trail Blazers and shot 49.3 percent. Evan Turner, who hit the game-winning basket in Portland, scored 10 points against the Nuggets. The Celtics are 6-13 on the road and still have visits to Utah and Minnesota remaining on the trek. Boston and Golden State will meet again March 1 in Beantown. The Warriors took both matchups from the Celtics last season and are 3-1 in the last four games in this series. Golden State has won 14 of the last 18 at home versus Boston. Nike Sb Shoes Australia .A. Happs hold on a spot in the Blue Jays starting rotation is in question.

I said, Throw the ball, coach Pete Carroll said. Nobody to blame but me.But there was plenty of blame to go around. It started with offensive co-ordinator Darrell Bevell, who may have gotten too cute and, as a result, found his name was a top trender on Twitter.And the receiver, Ricardo Lockette, who Bevell said, could have done a better job staying strong on the ball.Quarterback Russell Wilson wishes he had that pass back.I thought it was going to be a touchdown, Wilson said. But I put the blame on me. Im the one who threw it.He also gave lots of credit to Butler, the rookie free agent out of West Alabama who made New Englands roster, then saved the Super Bowl.The guy made a great play, Wilson said.But this one was hard to explain away.Seattle had a timeout left with the clock ticking down when Wilson fired into a cluster of blue and white shirts. Butler dug inside of Lockette and made his first career interception.I had a feeling I was going to make a big play today, Butler said. But not that big.Give credit where its due.But about that play call again:Dumbest play call in the HISTORY of NFL football, tweeted former 49ers receiver Dwight Clark, who made a pretty good grab himself: The Catch.And this from NFL career rushing leader Emmitt Smith: Worst play call Ive seen in the history of football.It left them speechless in Seattle, too. Well, practically.Weve got Marshawn Lynch, one of the best running backs in the league, and everybody makes their decisions and unfortunately, we didnt give him the ball, Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said.ddddddddddddCarrolls explanation: He saw the Patriots bring in a goal-line formation with eight big guys and three cornerbacks and didnt think Lynch, who tied for the league lead with 13 touchdowns rushing this season, would be able to bull it in against that defence.Its not a great matchup for us to run the football, so we were going to throw the ball, really to waste a play, Carroll said. If we score, we do, if we dont, well run it in on third or fourth down.Butler saw the stacked receivers on the right side of the field and said Wilsons eyes tipped him off. He ducked inside of Lockette and made the play.Quite a moment for a player who wasnt drafted, wasnt even signed to a contract right after the draft. He was an invited tryout player — offered a chance to show what he could do in May.A long shot to make the roster, though Patriots cornerback Brandon Browner said hes been proving he belongs all year. Browner, a former Seahawk, said Butler leads the team in interceptions during practice.This game almost ended much differently for Butler. He was in coverage — good coverage — against Seahawks receiver Jermaine Kearse and appeared to bat the ball down for an incompletion. But as Kearse was falling, the ball bobbled between his legs, and he kept it in the air by batting it twice while tumbling. Kearse made the catch on his back for a 33-yard gain that gave Seattle a first-and-goal at the 5.Butler went to the sideline.My teammates were saying, nine out of 10 times, that ball is incomplete, he said. It was devastating.A play later, Lynch had bulled the ball to the 1.Seattle had a timeout and three plays to try to win the game.I thought it was going to be a touchdown when I threw it, Wilson said. When I let it go, I thought it was going to be game over.Turns out, he was right. But it was the Patriots holding the trophy.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
