longtime teammate.After teaming with from corse178's blog

DURHAM, N. Adidas Ultra Boost Promo .C. -- Grayson Allen showed what hes capable of when healthy -- and then went down with the latest in a run of injuries for No. 6 Duke.Allen scored all 21 of his points in the first half, then injured a toe late in Dukes 93-58 rout of Appalachian State on Saturday.Allen, who has been playing through a right foot injury suffered in last weeks loss to No. 5 Kansas, appeared to tweak that foot or ankle when he went down while going for a rebound with about 12 minutes to play and Duke leading by 35. He stayed on the bench for the rest of the game.Allen was not available for comment after the game because he was receiving treatment, team spokesman Cory Walton said.He just landed funny, and when that happens, it hurts, coach Mike Krzyzewski said. It really hurts. He looked fresher in that first half than he has the entire season, and hopefully well get there by Tuesday night when No. 24 Michigan State visits.Luke Kennard added 18 points and Amile Jefferson and Frank Jackson each finished with 15 for the Blue Devils (6-1), who have won four straight but once again must deal with an injury to a key player. Duke also has been without three injured freshman big men due to injuries and Krzyzewski says those three wont play against Michigan State either.Thats frustrating, but you do what you need to do and we dont ask anybody to feel sorry for us, and nobody will, Krzyzewski said. Its just a fact of life. I dont want, `Poor me. Im not `Poor me. Ive got good guys. ... Totally the opposite (team) of what we thought we would have.Kelvin Robinson scored 12 points for the Mountaineers (2-3), who average 89 points but for the first time were held to fewer than 70.Allen started shooting the ball better in his last game, hitting three 3s in a rout of William & Mary on Wednesday night, and he picked up right where he left off.He led the way during an opening half in which Duke scored a season-best 55 points and used a 24-12 burst to push the lead into the 20s. Allen keyed the run with two of his four 3s, and Jackson capped it with a layup that made it 53-31.Matt Jones added 10 points for Duke.BIG PICTUREAppalachian State: The Mountaineers could pull a few positives from their first visit to Cameron Indoor Stadium since 1987. They found ways to score on Duke, hitting nine 3s and scoring 34 first-half points -- both the most allowed by Duke this season. That could give them a dose of confidence before their next visit to an ACC arena -- they are at North Carolina State on Dec. 15.We knew that they were going to bring pressure offensively, their defense against our offense, and we played way too fast, coach Jim Fox said. And when we started missing some shots, we kind of got stagnant. ... They got going, they made some shots. Ive been here before and thats happened, and it goes quick.Duke: For the second straight game, injured freshman forwards Harry Giles and Marques Bolden warmed up but didnt play. In their continued absence, Chase Jeter was once again the first post player off the bench, but freshman Javin DeLaurier was impressive and sophomore Antonio Vrankovic scored eight points in 19 minutes. Both could make a push for Jeters minutes going forward.POLL IMPLICATIONSDuke showed no evidence that it deserves to be ranked lower than No. 6, though the game against the Spartans should provide a more accurate benchmark.HIGHLIGHT REELThe play of the day came with about 7 minutes left in the first half when Jefferson pinned Emarius Logans layup attempt against the glass. Kennard grabbed the rebound to start the break the other way and lofted a perfect alley-oop pass to Jackson, who finished off the dunk to make it 37-21.UP NEXTAppalachian State: The Mountaineers remain in the state and will visit Charlotte on Monday night.Duke: The Blue Devils play their marquee home nonconference game Tuesday night with a visit from No. 24 Michigan State in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25. Yeezy Boost 350 Prix .

You could tell. You could see it in his eyes, you could see it in his play. Every time he got the ball he was aggressive. He was either making a play for himself or making a play for his teammates.After entering the NBA as an 18-year-old rookie in 2001, Parker is now in his 16th season, all with the Spurs. The 34-year-old point guard has slowed, but he showed flashes of his old self against the Celtics.Parker was 8 for 15 from the field, including a turn-back-the-clock, teardrop floater in the first quarter over a hard-charging Amir Johnson after crossing over Marcus Smart. Parker also hit an 18-foot fall-away jumper off his left heel that gave San Antonio a 96-85 lead.It was just one of those situations, Parker said.

Im just happy they went in.Parkers second straight game in double figures backed up Kawhi Leonards 26 points.Pau Gasol added 17 points and 13 rebounds for San Antonio, which has won three straight at the AT&T Center after dropping three of its first four at home. The Spurs (20-5) are 7-4 at home after matching an NBA record with a 40-1 mark last season.I thought the ball movement was a little more aggressive tonight, Popovich said. We communicated pretty well defensively. The ball moved. The ball moved better than it has at home all year.After collecting a season-high 38 assists in Saturdays home win over Brooklyn, the Spurs had 33 assists on 44 field goals against the Celtics while shooting 55 percent from the field.Its too early to say that weve turned the corner, but its a good sign, said Manu Ginobili, who is in his 15th season with the Spurs.Ginobili finished with 12 points and four assists.Boston was without injured leading scorer Isaiah Thomas. San Antonio rested starting power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, and both teams showed off their depth.David Lee, who started in place of Aldridge, had eight points and 10 rebounds.Bradley had 25 points and 10 assists for the Celtics, and Boston got 34 points from its bench.The Celtics outscored San Antonio 118-4 to pull to 74-73 with a minute left in the third quarter, but San Antonio came out on top in a game of big runs to win its 11th straight over Boston. Homme Adidas Ultra Boost Blanc Noir Bleu Clair Chaussures De Course.

Boston is 3-7 against the Western Conference this season, including 1-4 against the Southwest Division. ... Smart started his ninth game, including his third at point guard in place of Thomas. The Celtics are 4-5 with Smart starting at small forward or shooting guard.Spurs: Aldridge was rested for the second time this season, initially sitting out Oct. 30 in a 94-87 win at Dallas. Hes a little banged up, Popovich explained. A little back-to-back, a little bit of rest, a little bit of everything. ...

Lee is the 88th player in NBA history with 10,000 career points and 7,000 rebounds. ... San Antonio is 11-2 against Eastern Conference teams.DUNKING DUNCANSan Antonio will retire Tim Duncans jersey during a postgame ceremony Sunday, but Parker is already feeling nostalgic about his longtime teammate.After teaming with Dewayne Dedmon on an alley-oop, Parker couldnt help but recall all the times he did the same with Duncan. Or maybe Parker was getting an early dig in at Duncan.The last time I had a guy who could jump like that was Tim Duncan for the lobs. Weve been missing that, Parker said, attempting to stifle a laugh about Duncans lack of leaping ability. Missing the Timmy lobs, Dewayne is fulfilling the job.LOOKS GOODStevens expects Thomas to play Friday at home against Charlotte.I have not spoken to him directly, but via others and text, he feels really good and the goal is to play Friday, Stevens said.The 5-foot-9 guard has missed four straight games with a strained left groin he initially injured Dec. 5 at Houston.
