NEW ORLEANS -- With a quick step to his left, Anthony Davis bolted from the man he was supposed to guard and launched himself toward the backboard in time to
swat away Ty Lawsons driving layup.
Frank
Lampard New York City Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the
ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis
sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points --
which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the
Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. "I
dont think I was supposed to (guard Lawson)," Davis said of his pivotal block.
"I just tried to make a basketball play. Coach (Monty Williams) tells us all the
time, If youre going to do something like that, you better go get it. Thank God
I got the rebound. It got us hyped and it was a play that we needed down the
stretch." Williams was delighted and amused by the play because of how it fit
the theme of pregame banter he had overheard between Davis and his teammates.
"Its funny because they were just talking about before the game how he wanted to
just go up and grab it out of the air like Patrick Ewing used to," Williams
said. "I was like, What are you guys talking about? Where is this conversation
going? And then he makes a play like that, so it shows you how much I know." For
Davis, it was one last historic performance before hes old enough to legally
accept someones offer to buy him a drink for all hes done in less than two
seasons of basketball in the Big Easy. Since the Pelicans were founded as the
Charlotte Hornets in 1988, no one had racked up as many points, rebounds and
blocks in the same game as Davis did against Denver. "Thats a testament to my
team. Theyre giving me the ball where I can score and cutting hard so their man
cant help, making big shots, playing defence, having my back if I try to go
block a shot, boxing out and letting me get the rebounds," said Davis, who turns
21 on Tuesday. "It all goes to the team and not just me. I cant do it by
myself." Indeed, Davis pointed out that his overtime heroics, which included
four crucial free throws, never would have happed if not for teammates like
Anthony Morrow, whose 14 points included a 15-foot pullup in the lane that tied
the game at 94 with 1 second left in regulation. Morrow had to save a ball
tipped away from Davis, then had to get off a shot over the taller Lawson. "Hes
a great defender. He was up under me, so I just wanted to make sure I got to
where I wanted to get to and just knocked the 15-footer down," Morrow said.
Tyreke Evans, meanwhile, added 20 points, his fifth straight game with 20 or
more. Kenneth Faried had 22 points and 10 rebounds for Denver, which had won its
previous two games and led by as many as 16 in the second quarter. Aaron Brooks
scored 12 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter, nearly rescuing Denver from
its collapse. After being up by as many as 13 points early in the second half,
Denver had fallen behind by seven in the fourth quarter before Brooks scored six
straight on three free throws and a transition 3-pointer. Later, his clutch,
weaving drive around Davis for a scoop off the glass put Denver in front 94-90
with 1:20 left. But Brian Roberts free throws, followed by Morrows clutch
jumper, sent the game to overtime. "It wasnt the end, it was the third quarter.
We let them get back in the game," Faried said. "Its something about us and this
team this year. We dont have that killer instinct quite yet." There were nine
lead changes in the overtime thriller between two teams well out of playoff
contention, but playing with pride. Davis deep offensive rebound and assist on
Morrows 3 made it 100-98, and Davis exuberantly held three fingers in the air as
the ball went down, only to see Lawson convert a quick three-point play on a
driving layup as he was fouled to give Denver the lead right back. Roberts
followed with a jumper for New Orleans, then Wilson Chandler nailed a 3 to put
the Nuggets back up by two. Evans layup tied it for the eighth and final time at
104 before Davis free throws gave New Orleans the lead for good. Lawson finished
with 15 points, Chandler with 14 and JJ Hickson 12 for the Nuggets, who outshot
New Orleans 47.1 per cent (40 of 85) to 45.6 per cent (41 of 90), but hurt
themselves 27 turnovers. "Weve just got to do a better job of taking care of the
ball, and our role mentality, the things we talk about when youre playing your
role -- fundamentally, boxing out and doing the things that we need to do to win
this type of game," Denver coach Brian Shaw said. NOTES: Davis has surpassed 20
points and 10 rebounds in a game 22 times this season, and he has 30
double-doubles. ... The Nuggets resume their five-game road trip Monday night in
Charlotte, followed by games Wednesday in Orlando, Friday in Miami and Saturday
in Atlanta.

straight decision, leading Detroit over the Kansas City Royals 9-4 Sunday and
extending the Tigers winning streak to a season-high five games.RECIFE, Brazil
-- Germanys Thomas Mueller stayed on track to retain his Golden Boot title at
the World Cup by scoring his fourth goal of the tournament in the 1-0 victory
over the United States. U.S. coach Juergen Klinsmann wasnt too upset. His team
also qualified for the knockout stage after Portugal beat Ghana 2-1 in the other
final match in Group G, which saw both teams eliminated. Mueller scored five
times in South Africa in 2010 and scored his fourth on Friday in a rain-soaked
Recife. With two wins and a draw, Germany topped the group with seven points,
while the U.S. progressed with four. Portugal also finished with four points but
the U.S. had a better goal difference. "We controlled the match and did not
allow any chances until late in the match," Germany coach Joachim Loew said. "We
failed to score a second goal that would have settled the issue earlier."
Mueller scored in the 55th minute with a side-footed shot from the edge of the
area as tropical downpours drenched the Arena Pernambuco. He now has nine goals
in nine World Cup games. "We clearly dominated the match and we played not a bad
game against a top-fit American team," Mueller said. "I finally scored a pretty
goal. I manage it every now and then. We still have big targets ahead of us."
Germany, a three-time champion, now travels to Porto Alegre to play the
runner-up in Group H on June 30. Both teams knew before kickoff that a draw
would see them through, but neither held back. The game pitted Loew against his
good friend and predecessor Juergen Klinsmann, now in charge of the U.S. team.
The two coaches smiled as they shook hands and patted each other on the shoulder
after the match. Klinsmann warmly embraced the German players/ Germanys goal
came after a corner by Mesut Ozil. U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard did well to punch
out a header by Per Mertesacker but pushed the ball into the path of Mueller who
rifled a shot inside the far post from the edge of the penalty area. Mueller
played despite needing five stiches to close a cut above his right eye sustained
in the 2-2 draw with Ghana on Saturday and still visible five days later. TThe
United States had a chance to level the match in stoppage time, but Alejandro
Bedoyas low shot inside the box was swept away by the sliding Mario Goetze, a
late substitute.

the far post went high. Loew reshuffled his lineup by bringing in forward Lukas
Podolski for Goetze and midfielder Sebastian Schweinsteiger for Sami Khedira.
Center back Geoff Cameron was replaced in the U.S. lineup by Omar Gonzalez.
There were many empty seats in the Arena Pernambuco when the match kicked off
but fans streamed in during the first half, apparently delayed by traffic jams
as torrential rain flooded parts of this northeastern Brazilian city. Germany
was quicker off the mark and Howard intercepted a low cross from Podolski before
Michael Bradley made a good clearance and Gonzalez defended well to deny Mueller
a shot from close range. Howards 103th cap was a record for a U.S. goalkeeper
and he did well to stop Ozils shot in the 35th minute. Graham Zusi had the first
good shot for the U.S. but his effort in the 22nd went high. Referee Ravshan
Irmatov of Uzbekistan collided accidentally with Jermaine Jones in the 28th and
the American midfielder went down hard but got up. The referee shrugged off the
challenge. Miroslav Klose came on for Podolski at the start of the second half
but failed to score and grab sole possession of the World Cup scoring record
that he now shares with Brazils Ronaldo at 15. Ozil beat Gonzalez to a cross at
the start of the second half but sent his header high, while Klose connected
with a cross from Schweinsteiger but was off balance and did not get off a clean
header. Lineups: United States: Tim Howard; Fabian Johnson, Omar Gonzalez, Matt
Besler, DaMarcus Beasley; Jermaine Jones, Kyle Beckerman, Graham Zusi (DeAndre
Yedlin, 84th), Michael Bradley, Brad Davis (Alejandro Bedoya, 59th); Clint
Dempsey. Germany: Manuel Neuer; Jerome Boateng, Per Mertesacker, Mats Hummels,
Benedikt Hoewedes; Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger (Mario Goetze, 76th),
Mesut Ozil (Andre Schuerrle, 89th), Toni Kroos; Lukas Podolski (Miroslav Klose,
