    (SportsNetwork. [b]Ben Banogu Jersey[/b] .com) - The New Orleans Pelicans will play their next five games on the road, starting with Mondays matchup with the Boston Celtics. The Pelicans are winless in their last four road games and will also visit Detroit, Philadelphia, Toronto and New York on the trip. They are 6-13 away from the Big Easy this season. New Orleans had lost two in a row and three of four games until recording an impressive 106-95 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. Jrue Holiday scored 23 points and handed out eight assists, Tyreke Evans posted 21 points, 10 rebounds and five assists and Anthony Davis finished with 20 points, nine boards and three blocks. We played really good defense against an efficient offensive team, a playoff tested team, Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. Ryan Anderson added 20 points and six rebounds for the Pelicans, who shot 45.7 percent for the game and made 10-of-20 3-pointers. The Pelicans opened the game on a 9-0 run and never gave up the lead. The Celtics will play three in a row at home versus New Orleans, Atlanta and Chicago, and are 8-11 in Beantown this season. Boston dropped a 109-96 decision against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday in the finale of a three-game road trip (1-2), as Kelly Olynyk scored 23 points in a losing effort. Olynyk is a Toronto native. Canada basketball is huge up here, Olynyk said. Its always nice to come up here and play well in front of your country. Avery Bradley scored 17 points and Jared Sullinger ended with 13 and 10 rebounds for the Celtics, losers in nine of the last 11 games. The Celtics and Pelicans will play the first of two meetings this season and are scheduled to tangle March 6 in the Crescent City. New Orleans won both games against Boston last season and is unbeaten in the last five meetings between the teams. [b]Kenny Moore Youth Jersey[/b] . He made another correct read.

The Jets have now won three straight at home and four of the last five at the MTS Centre. After a scoreless first period, Brad Marchand scored his first goal in eight games eight seconds into the second. OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Gee-Gees were the only team in Canada to beat Carleton this season. The Ravens werent about to let it happen again. Carleton picked up its fourth straight national mens basketball title, and 10th in the last 12 years, with a 79-67 victory over its crosstown rival on Sunday. "Ottawa is a good team, you have to give them credit," said Carletons Tyson Hinz, who was named the tournaments most valuable player. "Thats by far the best team Ive played in my five years here." The Gee-Gees upset the Ravens last week in the Ontario University Association final. That just riled up the most successful CIS basketball team of the last 12 years. "It was pretty easy to get motivated after a loss," said Hinz, who led all scorers with 30 points. "Im so happy for the guys. Im happy we got the win." In addition to Hinz, the Ravens had solid contributions from Thomas and Philip Scrubb who had 20 and 16 points respectively. "The fact that they beat us was really motivating," said Philip Scrubb. "We just tried to focus on our team and what we had to do to win." Ravens head coach Dave Smart has been at the helm for all ten championships and has created one of Canadas greatest basketball legacies. "Every year its a different group of guys," said Smart. "These guys are special kids. Its been a long year. You guys see the wins and losses, but theres been a lot of ups and downs." Smart is known as a brilliant coach and many wonder how long before he chooses to expand his horizons, but the Ravens coach says hes happy where he is. "Even if someone offered me ridiculous money it would be a family decision," said Smart. "I know I would go into a situation coaching wise and program wise that would be worse. I have a great situation here and you have to look at it professionally, but you also have to look at your family. The point of me saying that was I aint leaving." The win was the Ravens fourth consecutive championship, but it didnt come easily. The Ottawa Gee-Gees came into the tournament as the No. 1 seed and advanced to the final for the first time in program history. The final score was hardly indicative of the battle that was fought all afternoon. The Ravens led by two, 16-14, after the first quarter, but the early half of the second belonged to the Gee-Gees as they pulled away with a six-point lead. The Ravens regained control on the back of Hinz, who had 13 points in the firrst half. [b]Reggie Wayne Jersey[/b]. The Ravens again led by two at the half, 37-35, but as so often has been the case this season the third quarter was where Carleton was at its best, jumping out to a 58-49 lead. "It was a tough third quarter for us," said Ottawa head coach James Derouin. "Carleton is sort of known for their quarter and coming out of halftime. We made a couple shots early in the quarter and I thought we had sort of sustained it, but the O-glass ended up killing us in the end. I think 29 second chance points and you just cant give a team this good that many second chance opportunities." The Gee-Gees made a valiant effort through the fourth, but the Ravens experience came through and they made the most of their opportunities at the free throw line. Carleton was 21-for-25 from the free throw line, while Ottawa was 8-for-11 which left the Gee-Gees coaching staff questioning a number of calls. Despite the loss, the Gee-Gees say they will look to grow from this experience and will use it as motivation for next season. "I just told them how proud I am of them," said Derouin. "They should be proud of the season they had. Our goal is to be back here next year. We were bronze last year, silver this year and hopefully that leads to a gold medal next year." Fourth-year forward Johnny Berhanemeskel led the Gee-Gees with 19 points. In the bronze medal game the University of Alberta Golden Bears defeated the No. 4 Victoria Vikes 61-53 Sunday morning. It was a quick turnaround for the Canada West rivals, who both lost in Saturday nights semifinals and also lost an hour of sleep thanks to daylight savings time. "I dont think either team was excited about playing with the time change in the bronze medal game," said Golden Bears head coach Barnaby Craddock, whose troops defeated Victoria 82-77 in the conference final last weekend. Alberta took control early on jumping out to a 25-4 lead after the first quarter. Victorias offence rebounded in the second quarter as they outscored Alberta 17-15, but it wasnt enough as Alberta led 40-21 at the half. The Vikes outscored the Golden Bears for the entire second half, but were unable to erase the advantage Alberta built up in the early going. Golden Bears star graduating forward Jordan Baker led his team with 16 points and eight assists in his final CIS game. Victorias fifth-year guard Terrell Evans finished his career leading the Vikes with a game-high 16 rebounds and 18 points.
