      oring 17 straight poin

      PHOENIX -- Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had a little extra energy on the court Saturday. Derrick Thomas Super Bowl Jersey .The second-year pro learned just before the game that his mother had been flown in to Arizona to watch her son play. She watched from her second-row seat as Hollis-Jefferson scored a career-high 20 points with 13 rebounds in the Brooklyn Nets 122-104 victory over the Phoenix Suns.Just to have her here, that was more special to me than the 20 points, Hollis-Jefferson said. I winked at her about three times.Brooklyn got its first road win of the season, scoring 17 straight points late in the fourth quarter to extinguish the Suns comeback attempt.The Nets held a 102-100 lead with 4:16 to play when their decisive run began. It included Brook Lopezs 3-pointer with 1:47 to go to make it 113-100, and some tight defense on the Suns top scorers.Defense, it gives you that energy, that joy that you want. When you stop someone and you go down and score, its like `Woo! That was fun! Hollis-Jefferson said. We enjoy that whole process, the stop and the score.Trevor Booker added 19 points and eight rebounds, and Sean Kilpatrick had 19 points and nine boards for the Nets. Joe Harris also scored 19 points.T.J. Warren scored 18 points for the Suns. Jared Dudley added 17 off the bench.The Suns fell apart after Devin Bookers short jumper pulled them within two points with a little more than 4 minutes left and lost for the third time in four games.Phoenix shot a season-low 37.4 percent. The Suns 107 shot attempts were the highest in an NBA game this season, regulation or overtime.This is the first team that played the defense the way they played it, Suns coach Earl Watson said. They ... made us play out of the weak side, so they did a great job of taking away the paint, taking away the lane.The Suns took a lot of shots early in possessions.We just locked down defensively, Trevor Booker said. We shut down their transition and made them play half court.Harris two free throws gave Brooklyn its biggest lead of the first half at 57-41 with 1:08 to go. The Nets finished the half up 58-45 after leading by double digits for the last 5:19.TIP-INSNets: G Jeremy Lin remains out with a strained left hamstring. He watched Saturdays game from the bench and is expected to be re-evaluated this coming week. ... F Isaiah Whitehead missed his second straight game with a concussion and was not with the team Saturday.Suns: C Tyson Chandler remains away from the team due to a family matter and missed his third straight game. ... Rookie Tyler Ulis played 11 minutes, the most action hes seen since getting 18 on Halloween against the Los Angeles Clippers and the third game in which hes played this season.ANOTHER COACH, ANOTHER COMPLIMENTAdd the Nets Kenny Atkinson to the list of NBA coaches who have praised Bookers game. Im impressed with the confidence, the swagger he plays with and the attack mentality, Atkinson said.Booker, the teams leading scorer at 21.5 points per game coming in, made only 5 of 18 shots and finished with 11 points.CHRISS SHOTSSuns rookie Marquese Chriss got his third start and finished with a career-high 16 points. Chriss eclipsed his high of seven shot attempts before halftime, and took 15 in the game.LOUD FAN HEARS ITA vociferous fan sitting a few rows up from the court yelled at Watson to take Booker out of the game after a missed shot in the fourth quarter. The fan had been critical of the Suns all night, and Watson turned to him and calm but audibly said Shut up.BROOK BLOCKSNets center Brook Lopez set the season high for blocks for a Nets player with four, three of those in the first five minutes.UP NEXTNets: At the Clippers on Monday night, their first of two straight games against the Los Angeles teams in the Staples Center.Suns: At Golden State on Sunday night, their third set of back-to-back games of the season. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Super Bowl Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Martinas Rankin Super Bowl Jersey . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. http://www.officialkcchiefspro.com/Damien-williams-chiefs-jersey/ . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in. ARCADIA, Calif. -- Hes back in the Breeders Cup -- obviously.Obviously, an 8-year-old gelding, is set to become just the fourth horse to make five Breeders Cup starts when he races in the Turf Sprint on Saturday. And this is no vanity entry. Obviously has won only once in four starts this year, but that win was a strong one, in the Poker at Belmont, and his defeats, two seconds and a third, all were admirable performances.Obviously set a scorching pace in the City of Hope Mile here at Santa Anita last month and still held on for third, and on Saturday, he turns back from a mile to 6-1/2 furlongs to join Kona Gold, Perfect Drift, and California Flag as the only horses with five Breeders Cup runs.This horse, he has not lost a jump, said trainer Phil DAmato. Hes just a freak, a genetic freak.Obviously began his career in 2011 in Ireland, where he was bred, and DAmato was at the overseas sale when Obviously was purchased by owners Joe Scardino and Tony Fanticola late that year. Obviously has raced only 10 times in the last three calendar years, and DAmato said its his owners patience that has combined with Obviouslys constitutioon to prolong his career. Juan Thornhill Super Bowl Jersey. They just ask me to let them know when were going to run, and theyre happy, he said.Obviouslys best try among four Mile starts came in 2012, when he set a fast pace and gallantly held third behind Wise Dan and Animal Kingdom. Obviously set the pace in the last three Miles, finishing fifth in 2013 and 2014 and ninth last year at Keeneland while racing over soft turf, which blunts his brilliance.But Obviously has looked like his best self again this year. He has raced well down the hill at Santa Anita, and at his best, he fits as well as any horse in the Turf Sprint.Hes the kind of horse where every race, he gives you everything he has, and at 8, for him to run as hard as he did last time and bounce out of it like he did, Im very impressed with that and like my chances, said DAmato. After the Breeders Cup, well give him another break and then look for something next year until he says he doesnt want to compete anymore.A 9-year-old graded-stakes horse? Obviously. ' ' '
