BULLS STOP CAVALIER’S EFFORT TO WIN

Labron, who led the Cavaliers with 25 points, lost the ball out of bounds with 3.2 seconds to go after powering his way to the basket. Chicago’s forwards double teamed James and denied the superstar on a drive in the final seconds as the Chicago Bulls ended Cleveland’s three-game winning streak with an 86-85 win Thursday night. James led the Cavaliers with 25 points. Shaquille O’Neal had 14 and 10 rebounds and Anderson Varejao added 12 with 13 boards. But Cleveland’s offense never got into a flow and the Cavs didn’t help themselves by going 12 of 20 on free throws.

YANKEES WIN THE WORLD SERIES 2009

On Wednesday night, the New York Yankees rode one player…Hideki Matsui to their 27th World Series title with a 7-3 win over the defending champions, the Philadelphia Phillies. Matsui’s heroics came at just the right time. The Yankees had lost Game 5 in Philadelphia, forcing a sixth game at Yankee Stadium.

PHILLIES AVOID ELIMINATION AGAINST YANKEES

Desperate to hang onto their World Series title and hounded by the Yankees to the very last swing, Philadelphia somehow held on for an 8-6 win Monday night in Game 5. Put those parade plans on hold, New York. The Phillies are coming back. “We had to do it,” Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins said. “We didn’t have a choice. It was either go home and watch football and college basketball or extend the season. The Yankees, who have won the Series all eight previous times they took a 3-1 lead, will try to close out title No. 27 on Wednesday night at home. “If we would have pitched today, we probably would have won,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “That’s the bottom line.” Stay posted on game 6 which will air tonight (Wednesday, November 4, 2009).

PHILLIES BEAT THE YANKEES IN GAME 1

The Phillies dominated the game from the start with great pitching from their ace Cliff Lee who is now 3-0 with a 0.54 earned run average in four postseason starts. He threw 122 pitches, and 80 for strikes. When the Phillies needed to score, they got two big home runs from their second baseman Chase Utley who hit one in third inning and one in the six inning off Sabathia. Who hadn’t allowed a home run to a left-handed hitter at the New Yankee Stadium all year. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been nervous playing this game,” Lee said. “I’ve already done the work - it’s game time, time to go out there and have fun and execute and let your skills take over.”
