Elsewhere...

With Argentina already 2-0 up in their Davis Cup encounter with Great Britain, lets see how the rest was doing in other parts of the world.

NBA News...

New York Knicks 93 San Antonio Spurs 99

Spurs won this match after surviving a near defeat situation at the very last seconds. Down by 3 with 8 seconds left, a pass by Manu GINOBILI to Michael FINLEY saw him converting the 3-pointer shot to send this tie into overtime.

GINOBILI posted 20 points, 7 rebounds, a game high 9 assists & 5 steals. Fabricio OBERTO on the other hand posted 8 points, 8 rebounds & 1 assist.

Toronto Raptors 98 Los Angeles Clippers 102

Carlos DELFINO was the top performer for the Raptors from the bench, posting 14 points & 3 rebounds.

Hockey Olympic Qualifier...

Argentina almost saw their chances of an Olympic berth wiped out at the very end, when Ireland pulled of a surprise 1-0 win.

Despite dominating for the most of the game, Ireland were pretty much dangerous in some occasion and defended well.

In the 56th minute the boys in green were gifted a penalty corner from which Ronan GORMLEY scored.

With this result Argentina will play the final play off tomorrow, after finishing with a better goal difference. As expected their opponent will be the host New Zealand after they've defeated France 2-0.

That was a nice play at the end of the 4th. All the Knicks had to do was foul Manu and they would've gotten the win. Some players spaced on the play and others just couldn't catch up with him. Great win!
