NFL

  • The Baltimore Ravens have their first winning streak since taking the first two games of the season.
  • Terrell Suggs had both of the Ravens’ sacks and forced a fumble as the Ravens knocked off the visiting Houston Texans 23-16. Suggs anchored a Baltimore defensive that didn’t allow a touchdown over the final 51 minutes and forced three turnovers, two coming in the final five minutes. Suggs stripped Tom Savage of the ball to set up Justin Tucker’s 49-yard field goal with 2:53 to play. Anthony Levine then intercepted a Savage pass to clinch it.
  • The Ravens also relied on special teams trickery as punter Sam Koch threw a 22-yard pass to Chris Moore, giving Baltimore a first down at the Houston 19. Javorius Allen followed with a 10-yard TD to tie the game early in the second quarter.
  • The Ravens improved to 6-5 and dropped the Texans to 4-7.

 

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL

  • Gary Clark scored 14 points and had seven rebounds as the 11th-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats crushed winless Alabama State 83-51 to improve to 7-0. Cincinnati scored 30 points off 20 turnovers and earned its 30th straight home win heading into Saturday’s clash with crosstown-rival Xavier.

 

  • Kyle Guy scored 17 points, and the #18 Virginia Cavaliers held Wisconsin scoreless for more than 7 minutes in the second half in a 49-37 victory Monday night in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Virginia overcame its 39 percent shooting by outrebounding the Badgers 39-30 and outscoring them 34-18 in the paint.

 

NBA

  • The Boston Celtics have split their last four games since ripping off a 16-game winning streak. The Celtics couldn’t handle Andre Drummond on Monday as the Pistons’ center had season highs of 26 points and 22 rebounds in Detroit’s 118-108 victory in Boston. Drummond grabbed 10 boards in the first quarter and furnished 11 points over the final 5 ½ minutes to send the Pistons to their third win in four games.

 

  • Tony Parker made his season debut and LaMarcus Aldridge had a season-high 33 points to go with 10 rebounds to send the Spurs past the Mavericks 115-108. Parker had six points and four assists in 14 minutes in his first appearance since tearing his right quadriceps tendon during the Western Conference semifinals last season. San Antonio trailed by 13 in the first half and finished the game without coach Gregg Popovich, who was ejected for storming the court to berate an official.

 

  • Willie Cauley-Stein had 19 points, eight boards and six assists as the Kings topped the short-handed Warriors 110-106. Bogdan Bogdanovic made a go-ahead bank shot with 12.6 seconds left to help Sacramento end an eight-game losing skid at Golden State. The Warriors were without All-Stars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant because of injuries.

 

  • The Cavaliers rolled to their eighth straight win as LeBron James had 30 points, 13 rebounds and six assists in a 113-91 pounding of the 76ers. Jeff Green had 14 points and 10 boards for the Cavs, whose winning streak follows a 5-7 start. Joel Embiid contributed 30 points and 11 rebounds for the Sixers, who lost for only the second time in seven games.

 

  • The Rockets were 117-103 winners over the Nets behind James Harden’s eight 3-pointers, 37 points, 10 boards and eight assists. Harden was 5-for-5 from 3-point range while scoring 20 points in the first quarter of Houston’s fifth straight win.

 

  • Lou Williams poured in a season-high 42 points and the Clippers came back from a 103-95 deficit to beat the Lakers 120-115. Blake Griffin had 26 points and 11 rebounds for the Clippers, who have won three straight since a nine-game losing streak.

 

  • Damian Lillard dropped in 32 points and the Trail Blazers concluded a 4-1 road trip with a 103-91 win at New York. Pat Connaughton added 17 points in Portland’s third consecutive victory.

 

  • Victor Oladipo  scored 26 points and Bojan Bogdanovic added 22 as the Pacers dealt the Magic their ninth straight loss 121-109. Domantas Sabonis chipped in 19 points for Indiana, which led just 95-91 before going on a 13-0 run.

 

  • The Memphis Grizzlies have provided the second coaching dismissal of the NBA season with over three-fourths of the schedule remaining. David Fizdale has been fired and replaced by assistant B.J. Bickerstaff on an interim basis. The move comes amid an eight-game losing streak that has dropped the Grizzlies to 7-12. Fizdale was hired in the summer of 2016 after eight years as an assistant at Miami. The Grizzlies made the 2017 playoffs at 43-39 and opened this season 5-1 before slumping while star guard Mike Conley deals with an injury.
