导出博客文章CHICAGO -- Theyre each 3-3, but the Orlando Magic and Chicago Bulls have starkly
different opinions about being .500 six games into the season.The Magic are
feeling better about themselves after erasing an 0-3 start with three straight
wins. The Bulls are trying to figure out whats gone wrong after seeing their 3-0
start dissolve into their current record with three straight defeats.Weve got to
find a way to bounce back and get back to doing the things that made us
successful earlier in the season, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg told the Bulls
website Saturday, after a lethargic 111-94 loss at the Indiana Pacers. Eighteen
turnovers led to 24 points, and that was a big reason we dug ourselves that hole
out there. Now, its a matter of getting back to work and finding out what we
have to do, and hopefully coming out and playing well on Monday.It wont be an
easy task against the Magic, who just edged the Washington Wizards 88-86 on
Saturday night with a strong effort from their bench. Jeff Green had 18 points
in his new reserve role, Bismack Biyombo added nine points, 12 rebounds and
three blocked shots, and D.J. Augustin chipped in seven points and five
assists.More importantly, the Magic came up with a number of key defensive stops
in the fourth quarter, holding Washington to just 16 points on 5-of-22 shooting
(22.7 percent).Thats a sign of a playoff team, Magic coach Frank Vogel told the
teams website after the game. I believe defense and rebounding get you into the
playoffs, and thats what wins in the playoffs. We didnt have a good offensive
rhythm and we werent shooting it well, but in the fourth quarter, its the (third
straight game) that we held (the opponent) under 20 points and were able to
secure the victory.Orlandos three losses were against teams that qualified for
the playoffs last season, including the NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers. The
Magics three wins were against non-playoff qualifiers, the Philadelphia 76ers,
Sacramento Kings and Wizards.It shows that we have the ability to bounce back
from where we started, Green told the Magics website. It shows growth and
improvement. We have to keep building from this, grow and right the wrongsThe
Bulls need to prove theyre more than just Dwyane Wade and everybody else. Thus
far, theyve followed how Wade has played. Wade went 1-for-9 and finished with
just four points against the Pacers, while Jimmy Butler and Bobby Portis led the
way with 16 points each.Im just going to have to lead the charge when it comes
to coming out with the right energy, making sure were doing everything were
supposed to on both ends of the floor, Butler told CSNChicago after the game. Im
definitely capable of doing that, so I cant come out lackadaisical. Ive got to
make sure everybody is doing what theyre supposed to do. I think thats on us.
Its not even on the coaches.The Bulls will play their fourth game without
injured reserve point guard Michael Carter-Williams, whos out with a left knee
bone bruise and left wrist sprain.

Nevada on February 22nd. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Bills running back LeSean McCoy
said he felt a little pain in his injured left hamstring while running a pass
route in the third quarter of Sundays 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins, and
he?decided to sit for the remainder of the game.I just tried to take off, he
said. The smartest thing to do [was to sit], instead of re-injuring anything or
making it worse. I kind of felt it was a warning.However, McCoy said he felt
amazing in pregame warmups despite missing practice Thursday and being very
limited in practice Friday. Coach Rex Ryan also defended his decision to start
McCoy, saying, We thought he was fine. ...?I dont know that he wasnt 100
percent.McCoy ran eight times for 11 yards and took the majority of snaps at
running back until the Bills took a 17-6 lead in the third quarter, when the
Bills announced his injury. McCoy, whose 1.4 yard-per-carry average was the
third worst of his career, sat on the bench with an ice pack around his left
thigh.McCoy believes he has a chance to play next Sunday against the
Patriots.Its not one of those major issues like last year -- deep, deep pain, he
said. Its something that just takes time. I think a full week of practicing and
taking all the steps, I should be fine. Well see what happens.In addition to
McCoys injury, the Bills lost starting safety Aaron Williams, who suffered an
injury to the head and neck area on a block from Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis
Landry.The team tweeted that Williams went to the hospital during the game for a
precautionary MRI but was then traveling back to Buffalo with the team.Landry
apologized for thhe block, said he wished he could take it back, and offered
little defense when asked if the hit was dirty.ddddddddddddCall it what you
want, Landry said. Its football.Bills center Eric Wood?had told reporters that
Williams was taken from the stadium in an ambulance. Williams was not in the
locker room after the game, and team staffers were seen packing his belongings
as the Bills departed for the airport.Landry launched into Williams while
blocking for Jay Ajayi on a 6-yard run in the second quarter. The Dolphins top
receiver was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play, but the Bills
declined that penalty and instead accepted a holding call against Miami on the
same play.The unnecessary roughness penalty does not qualify for ejection under
the NFLs two-strike rule for personal fouls implemented this season. Landry
already had one strike in?the game after being penalized for unsportsmanlike
conduct; he taunted?the Bills after a 26-yard catch in the first quarter.Landry
remained near Williams as he was evaluated by medical staff, and the receiver
walked over to Williams as he was being escorted off the field.Williams, 26, is
in his fifth season as a starting safety for Buffalo. After attempting to make a
diving tackle in a Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots last season, Williams
lost feeling in parts of his body and was transported off the field in an
ambulance. He was later placed on injured reserve and underwent surgery to shave
vertebrae in his neck. ' ' '
