Beitrag n Phaneuf to earn spots on Canadas blu
CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Cavaliers have been waiting for Andrew Bynum to have a breakout performance. The 7-footer came through in a 97-93 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. Bynum made the go-ahead basket with 3:35 left and had his best all-around game of the season with 20 points, five blocked shots and 10 rebounds in 30 minutes. "It felt good," Bynum said. "I wont lie to you." Bynum said earlier in the season he was contemplating retirement as he attempts a comeback from surgery on both knees. The injuries sidelined him for all of last season in Philadelphia and he admitted he was only a shell of himself on the court. "Tonight we saw a little bit of what Andrew is capable of bringing to the table," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said. Bynum hopes Saturdays performance is a sign of something positive for himself and the team. "I was able to have a little more bounce, a little more jumping ability," he said. "I hope my knees feel good after this." Bynum and Dion Waiters each scored 20 points, and the Cavaliers held off a late rally by Chicago. Cleveland, which had lost five straight and eight of nine, built a 12-point lead in fourth quarter, but the Bulls rallied for an 88-87 edge on Tony Snells basket with 3:59 remaining. Bynum, who was 8 of 14 from the field, hit a 5-footer to put Cleveland ahead for good and Kyrie Irving scored after stealing the ball from Kirk Hinrich. Waiters converted another turnover into a layup to put the Cavaliers ahead 93-88 with 2:09 to play. Waiters scored again to give Cleveland a seven-point lead, but Luol Dengs 3-pointer cut the lead to 95-91. Carlos Boozers basket with 40 seconds left trimmed it to 95-93. Following a miss by Bynum, the Bulls called timeout with 17 seconds remaining. Deng drove to the basket but his shot rolled off the rim and the Bulls missed three tip-in attempts. Tristan Thompson grabbed the rebound and made two free throws with 9 seconds remaining sealed the win. Irving, who added 19 points for Cleveland, knows how important Bynum can be to the team. "When you have someone you can throw it down to, you know he can get his shot when he wants," Irving said. "He draws so much attention. It opens up a lot of opportunities for all of us." Deng scored 27 points for the Bulls, who finished 1-5 on their road trip in which they lost point guard Derrick Rose for the season with a knee injury. "This was the end of a long trip," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "Weve got to gather ourselves quickly now because we dont have much time before we play again." The Bulls played their fourth game without Rose, who had surgery for a torn meniscus in his right knee last week after getting hurt Nov. 22 in Portland. Chicago also was blown out by 39 points by the Los Angeles Clippers and lost in overtime to Utah during the trip. The Bulls ended a four-game losing streak with Fridays 99-79 win at Detroit. "We learned a lot on the road, but weve got to do better," said forward Taj Gibson. "Just because were coming home doesnt mean anything. Teams tend to get a chip on their shoulder when they come into Chicago, so we have to be ready." Cleveland led by five points at halftime, but started the third period with a 15-5 run to lead 71-56 midway through the quarter. Chicago had won 12 of its last 13 games against Cleveland, including a 96-81 home victory on Nov. 11, but the Cavaliers scored the games first seven points, forcing Thibodeau to use a 20-second timeout at the 10:38 mark. The Cavaliers scored 27 points and were 11 of 18 from the field in the first quarter after being held to 10 points in the opening period Friday in a 103-86 loss at Boston. Snell and Gibson each scored 18 points for Chicago. NOTES: Bynum blocked consecutive shots on the same possession by Joakim Noah in the first quarter. ... Thibodeau was given a technical foul by official Nick Buchert in the second quarter. ... Cavaliers G C.J. Miles, who missed four games with a pulled right calf, returned to Clevelands starting lineup and scored six points. ... Cleveland F Earl Clark (flu) was inactive. ... Bulls G Jimmy Butler (right toe) is travelling with the team, but theres no timetable for his return. ...

Coverage of the Worlds begins today on TSN and continues all the way to the Gold Medal game on May 19. Looking over the forward corps of Canadas roster for the 2013 IIHF World Championship, it is not one name that jumps out, but a whole cast of young and experienced talent that have all stepped forward to volunteer for the tournament in Stockholm and Helsinki. This years Canadian squad features three of the top-10 NHL scorers from 2012-13 in Steven Stamkos of the Lightning, Eric Staal of the Hurricanes, and Taylor Hall of the Oilers. Complementing those three, however, is a collection of some of the leagues most talented young forwards. The 25-and-under bracket is out in full force with Matt Duchene, Jordan Eberle, Ryan OReilly, Jeff Skinner and Jordan Staal. Now, its not like Canada has had problems attracting talent in the past. Skinner and Eberle both suited up for the 2012 Canadian team and were joined by Olympic alumni like Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Duncan Keith. But what is it about 2013 that has brought out the best available Canadian talent? The answer may lie in what is looming on the horizon. This years World Championship will mark the final best-on-best mens tournament before rosters are submitted for the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. For these forwards, especially those mentioned above who have never represented Canada on the Olympic stage, these Worlds offer up an opportunity to audition for a spot on the Sochi roster in front of some key members of Team Canadas front office.dddddddddddd In 2009, it was a pair of young defencemen that used the Worlds as a springboard to a spot on the Vancouver Olympic roster. Drew Doughty and Shea Weber, who were 19 and 23 years old respectively in 2009, stepped up for Team Canada after their teams missed the playoffs. At the time, the two defencemen were coming from different spots on the Canadian depth chart. Weber had just come off a career season, scoring 23 goals and 30 assists with the Nashville Predators and had represented Canada a couple times, both at the World Championship and World Junior level. Doughty, meanwhile, was following up an impressive rookie season where he netted 27 points with the Los Angeles Kings. After breaking into the NHL as an 18-year-old, Doughty was short on international experience. Both players would impress at the 2009 Worlds in Switzerland and with impressive starts to the 2009-10 season, both were able to usurp expected, experienced blue line options like then-Calgary defenders Jay Bouwmeester and Dion Phaneuf to earn spots on Canadas blue line for the Vancouver Games. With many returning members of the 2010 Canadian team still playing at an elite level, the 2013 Worlds could provide some of those young forwards an inside track on winning the few available jobs. Certainly the likes of Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews can rest comfortably in the likelihood of representing Canada at Sochi, but can the likes of Giroux, Stamkos, and others push veterans like Joe Thornton, Jarome Iginla, Brenden Morrow or Dany Heatley out of the equation? Their performance at the 2013 World Championship may well provide the answer. Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
