DENVER - Less than a week removed from a 51-point coming out party, Terrence Ross was at it again. Johnny Manziel Jersey . Ross had 16 points midway through Fridays game in Denver, connecting on six of his seven field goal attempts, none more memorable than his final bucket of the half. The Raptors guard picked off a pass from Kenneth Faried - one of the Nuggets 26 turnovers - and proceeded to go the length of the floor before throwing down one of the more emphatic one-handed dunks youll ever see directly over the defending Manimal. "I remember I had the ball, (Faried) had sprinted all the way down into the paint," Ross recalled. "So I knew he was kind of at a disadvantage and couldnt jump as high. Im coming full speed (and) he still jumped pretty high but at the same time I had enough room to still finish." The Raptors bench said it all. Jonas Valanciunas had to use most of his seven-foot-four wingspan to hold half his teammates from running on the floor. Ross had gotten their attention. "Man, its got to be a nomination for dunk of the year so far, especially on a guy like that," said All-Star DeMar DeRozan, who was returning from a two-game absence with an ankle injury. "That was big. I damn sure wouldnt have done it." Ross was 11-years-old the last time the Raptors had won in Denver. It was December 30, 2003, over a decade ago. Since then Toronto had dropped nine straight in the Mile High City by an average of 17.8 points per loss. The Raptors snapped that skid on Friday. In fact, it was the third time this season that theyve broken a road losing streak of eight or more games to a specific opponent (winning in Milwaukee for the first time in nine visits and snapping a 10-game slide to the Lakers in Los Angeles). They defeated the Nuggets by double digits and tied a franchise mark for most wins in January with 11. You wouldnt know it after the game. "Well take the W but I was disappointed and I let the players know about it," Dwane Casey said following a 100-90 victory over the depleted Nuggets. "I was disappointed in the close." Toronto led by as many as 25 early in the fourth before the visitors went ice cold. They went six minutes without scoring and didnt register a field goal over the final 7:44 of the game. "You cant come in and feel like youve got the game won with a 20-point lead," said the Raptors coach, infuriated after the victory. "Youve got to continue to execute, continue to be strong with the ball, continue to execute defensively if you want to be serious about winning in this league and until you grow up and do that, youre going to end up on the short end more times than not." "We cant be satisfied with the way we played in the fourth quarter." Times have changed and so too have the expectations. The bar has been raised, evident in Caseys post-game rant. "You have to respect that," said DeRozan, who tallied 14 of his 19 points in the third quarter. "Its not acceptable how we finished that game off with the turnovers. We have to learn to keep leads and close out games." Caseys team was excellent through three quarters, and to begin the fourth. When it was all said and done they were fortunate to be facing an undermanned Nuggets squad, missing leading scorer Ty Lawson, along with Nate Robinson and Andre Miller. Without a true point guard in the lineup, the Nuggets turned the ball over more than any Raptors opponent this season, resulting in 29 Toronto points. Still, Denver out-rebounded the Raptors by nine and bested them 50-38 in the paint. "They kicked our behinds in the paint and that was one of our focuses going into the game," Casey said. "We were soft going to the ball, slow reacting to the ball." In the end, the Raptors opened a five-game trip with a win, got off the schneid in Denver and welcomed DeRozan back to the lineup 24 hours after he was named a first-time All-Star. "Well take the win," Casey said. "Were happy with the win but we cant be satisfied. Jered Weaver Jersey . LOUIS -- To stay a step ahead of goaltenders, T. Rollie Fingers Jersey . Yoenis Cespedes proved he can play through a hurting right heel, giving Scott Kazmir and the As a spark with a pair of RBIs that helped spoil the Minnesota Twins home opener with an 8-3 victory on Monday. http://www.baseballpadresofficial.com/da…ld-jersey-c-10/ . Bilbaos first victory in four rounds lifted it four points clear of Real Sociedad and kept it in command of Spains last Champions League berth for next season. In contrast, Betis was left 11 points from safety after a dismal performance that at times bordered on self-destruction amid some questionable refereeing decisions.MILWAUKEE -- Kyle Lohse will take an ugly slide any day. Lohse pitched 6 2-3 strong innings and Mark Reynolds homered twice to help the Milwaukee Brewers hand the Cincinnati Reds their sixth straight loss since the All-Star break, 5-1 Wednesday.

On with a one out single, Lohse raced around the bases when Reds right fielder Jay Bruce made a diving lunge for Carlos Gomez sinking liner and missed. Lohse slid awkwardly across the plate, barely beating the relay throw. "I need to work on that," Lohse said of his slide that tied the score at 1. "I just jammed my feet in there, and it worked out." Lohse knew that the speedy Gomez might have been thinking of an inside-the-park home run. "I figured Gomey was probably right behind me," Lohse said. "I didnt want him to catch me. That would have been bad." Brewers manager Ron Roenicke also feared a collision between the two. "I wasnt sure," he said of a potential jam up. "Gomey did slow up a little bit at second base there to give him a little bit of space." Reynolds connected on a 1-1 pitch from Reds starter Mike Leake (7-9) for his 15th home run of the season. Rickie Weeks was on with a double to start the sixth. Reds manager Bryan Price thought Reynolds drive was the turning point. "That created the separation that made it a lot harder for us to get in the game," Price said. Leake threw 87 pitches, but hed like a couple back in the sixth. "They hit a few balls hard and a few balls that werent hard that found holes," he said after allowing 11 hits. "The Weeks double and then the Reynolds home run were kind of the two that Id like to take back." Reynolds second home run came off reliever Jumbo Diaz in the eighth. It was another tough loss for Cincinnati. The Reds trailed tthe NL Central-leading Brewers by 1 1/2 games before the All-Star break, but the loss dropped them 5 1/2 games behind. Ozzie Smith Jersey. Theyve scored just 12 runs during the losing streak. "Anybody that watches our six games on this road trip would understand that were not playing as we were leading into the break," he said. "Were not scoring a lot of runs. Were not getting terribly efficient starting pitching. We know that were a better club than weve represented here in the last six games." Lohse and Leake were locked in a scoreless duel until the fifth inning. The Reds pushed across a run on Billy Hamilton sacrifice fly, but the Brewers tied it on Gomezs triple then took the lead on Ryan Brauns infield single. Lohse gave up his last hit to pinch-hitter Donald Lutz, who doubled. Reliever Zach Duke retired Billy Hamilton on a chopper back to the mound to end the seventh. Leake went six innings as the Reds lost a season-high nine road games.
