(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. Ryon Healy Jersey . Vonn punctuated her near-perfect season in perfect fashion Friday, earning her fourth overall World Cup title with a dominating giant slalom victory. Terry Steinbach Jersey . At this point, even he isnt sure when it is going to stop. The right-hander dropped his fourth straight decision in Los Angeles 6-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night, leaving his status very much in doubt as the Dodgers prepare for the stretch drive. http://www.authenticbaseshopathletic...rs-Jersey/.com) - Australian Open champion Li Na, former Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova and former world No. Dave Henderson Jersey . On Sunday, hell attempt to become the youngest driver to win a NASCAR Nationwide race on Iowas short track. The 20-year-old Blaney wont be the only kid pushing a podium finish. Oakland Athletics Jerseys . This is Lowry’s third time winning the award in his career. He won the award last season and as a member of the Houston Rockets in 2011.Percy Harvin moving to the New York Jets helps both teams. For the Jets, they get a player that can take a simple pass play and make it a major result. Geno Smith needs a support player like Harvin so he does not have to be the reason for the offence and its success or failure. As simple as it sounds, he is so talented that you simply pitch the ball to him and let him go. The Jets play the Bills and now they have to defend Harvin; that will be a challenge. For Seattle, the best assessment I heard was addition by subtraction. Remember the Seahawks have to sign Russell Wilson as soon as next year and without Harvin money on the books it makes Wilson a guaranteed Seahawk in the near future. Then there is the subtraction from the locker room. Over time, it’s just a consistency that Harvin cant get along and over time a decision was made that his personality is not worth the possibility of on-field excellence. It only takes two or three negative personalities to suppress all others and I wonder if that was a reason. In Indianapolis it was pretty impressive what the Colts did to the Bengals in winning 27-0. The Colts had 27 first downs, the Bengals had just eight. 506 total yards to 135, 171 rushing yards to 32. And finally 40 minutes time of possession to 20. The Colts beat a Bengals team as thoroughly as I have seen in recent history and looking at what Dallas did yesterday. Dallas is the best in the NFC, the Colts are the best in the AFC. In Denver, nobody has thrown more touchdown passes than Peyton Manning. 22-26, 318 yards and four touchdowns as Denver destroyed San Francisco. When the record was broken did you notice that Manning must have high-fived or shook hands or hugged or acknowledged everyone on the team. And I mean everyone. Starters, reserve players, coaches, fans, ball boys, I mean everybody. Is he the greatest of all time? Probably, that conversation could go on forever. But after such a dramatic accomplishment Manning could have run to the 50 and accepted applause for as long as he wanted. Yet quite the opposite, he made an effort to include everyone and that was as fun to watch as any of the four touchdown passes. Classy response to success. In Buffalo, first it was Kiko Alonso gone for the year, then EJ Manual benched and now not one but two running backs out for a least four weeks. CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson are very good running backs so how will Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon do? May be a tough day next Sunday. The Jets defensiive front seven is one of the best and to think they will play as well as Spiller and Jackson is unrealistic.dddddddddddd. The Bills do win their fair share of close games but if Dallas lost DeMarco Murray and Joseph Randle even they would struggle. Football luck has not been on the side of the Bills. And speaking of DeMarco Murray. It was the seventh time this year that he gained 100 or more to start a season breaking Jim Brown’s record. Hidden hero was offensive tackle Jeremey Parnell who played right tackle replacing injured Doug Free. He didnt look out of place at all and may be one of the top six offensive linemen in the league. This is a record that was held by Brown going back to 1958 so there have been many a running back playing since then. Washington at Dallas this Sunday night. Logic says it goes to eight in a row especially considering Brian Orakpo is out for the year for Washington. In Chicago, the Bears lose to the Dolphins and Brandon Marshall says it is unacceptable. Now really that is all he said. There was nothing derogatory or critical, just said this has to change. He complimented the players around him from Alshon Jeffery to Matt Forte to Martellus Bennett to the offensive line. He said nothing wrong and in some ways everything right. The Bears have the talent and would be surprised if the second half of the season was not better than the first. On offence anyway. So what is happening in Seattle? Nothing that is really that unusual. When you win a Super Bowl, trying to win it again is tougher than winning it the first time. Everyone gets paid. Not just the starters in the secondary but players get appearances and associations off the field that take away from what you want to get done on the field. And you dont realize it. It is extremely subtle and quick. For many players they come from difficult and poor backgrounds then in one year everything changes. Your childhood goal is realized and you are anything but poor. You’re rich. Is success harder to handle than adversity? No way. But it is different. Seattle is going through a process and the unknown is the length of the process; when it will end. This year or next year? And Finally, Monday night football, Houston at Pittsburgh. It just seemed that the Texans were under complete control until the last two minutes of the first half. Sometimes it is smarter to just down the ball as opposed to making something happen. Houston learned that in a most painful way.
