Russell Westbrook capped his 23rd triple-double of 37 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds by hitting the tiebreaking layup with 39.7 seconds remaining, as the Oklahoma City Thunder snapped the host Toronto Raptors’ team-record, 11-game winning streak with a hotly contested 132-125 victory on Sunday.

Westbrook posted his fifth straight triple-double. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, he and Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson are the only players with three instances of five straight games with a triple-double. Steven Adams had 25 points while Paul George added 22 points as the Thunder won their sixth consecutive game.

In a game that featured 25 lead changes and 20 ties, Westbrook snapped a 125-125 deadlock and then added a five-metre pull-up with 11.7 seconds left.

Westbrook’s final points occurred after DeMar DeRozan missed a layup with 30 seconds left on a play when the Toronto guard thought he was fouled by Corey Brewer.

The game featured 49 fouls and 57 free throws, and in the final minutes, Toronto guard DeMar DeRozan (24 points) was ejected along with Raptors coach Dwane Casey and former Thunder forward Serge Ibaka. DeRozan was tossed by Mark Davis for continuing to argue about being fouled by Brewer and Ibaka was tossed by Davis shortly after getting a questionable foul after getting pushed to the ground, while going by Steven Adams for a rebound during a free throw with 1:09 remaining.

Casey was tossed by Haywoode Workman, though it appeared the official thought a fan’s comments were made by Casey, which resulted in the coach laughing as he walked off the court.

The game ended with the officials being escorted off the court by multiple security guards.

Oklahoma City held a one-point lead when Westbrook returned with about eight minutes left.

He scored 17 points after returning and notched his latest triple-double with a spectacular individual effort by getting the offensive rebound of a missed 3-pointer by Anthony, missing his initial putback, getting another rebound and scoring on another putback with 4:35 remaining for a 118-117 lead.

The eventful fourth occurred after DeRozan gave Toronto a 98-97 lead through three with a 23-foot pull-up jumper with eight-tenths of a second left. DeRozan’s shot occurred after George gave Oklahoma City a 66-64 halftime lead with a jumper with one second left.

Trail Blazers 122, Clippers 109

Portland rolled at Los Angeles to posted their 13th consecutive win.

Damian Lillard scored 23 points and CJ McCollum added 21 for the Trail Blazers. Portland owns their longest win streak since a 13-game skein early in the 2007-08 season.

Lou Williams went for 30 points and Montrezl Harrell chipped in 24 off the bench for the Clippers, who have lost three in a row.

Rockets 129, Timberwolves 120

James Harden buried a 3-pointer inside the final minute, and visiting Houston completed a season sweep of Minnesota.

The Timberwolves roared back from a 25-point deficit, pulling within five points. However, Harden, who totalled 34 points and 12 assists, helped the Rockets hang on.

Karl-Anthony Towns paired 20 points with 18 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who have lost five of seven games.

Pelicans 108, Celtics 89

Anthony Davis had 34 points and 11 rebounds as host New Orleans overcame a slow start and routed Boston.

Cheick Diallo added a season-high 17 points, and Nikola Mirotic had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Pelicans, who had lost four of their previous five games.

Five Celtics were sidelined by injury, including Kyrie Irving, who missed his third straight game because of left knee soreness, and Marcus Smart, who missed his third straight game because of a sprained right thumb. Jayson Tatum paced Boston with 23 points.

AMMAN — Mohammad Wadi settled for a silver medal in the Poland International Boxing Championships being held in Warsaw, according to the Jordan Olympic Committee News Service.

Wadi lost the final of his 56kg weight to Kazakhstan’s Sulaiman Elias. Hussein Ishiash won the bronze medal in the 91kg category.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is on his way to reaching the elite level of Lionel Messi, but has no interest in being compared to the prodigious Barcelona striker, manager Juergen Klopp has said.

Salah, 25, struck four goals in Liverpool’s 5-0 thrashing of Watford that lifted them back into third place in the Premier League on Saturday.

The unstoppable Egyptian needed only four minutes to put his side in front and he doubled his tally just before halftime.

He set up Roberto Firmino for a cheeky effort early in the second half before placing a shot through a crowd of Watford defenders to complete his first Liverpool hat-trick.

There was no respite for Watford at a snowy Anfield as the clinical Salah smashed in his fourth goal in the 85th minute — from his fourth shot on target.

The Egypt international moved to 28 league goals, four goals clear of Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane in the race for the Golden Boot. He has 36 in all competitions this season, the most by a Liverpool player in a debut campaign for the club.

Asked about the similarities in Salah and Messi’s style of play, Klopp said: “Mo is on the way, that’s good. I don’t think that Mo or anybody else wants to be compared with Lionel Messi.”

“He [Messi] has been doing what he’s been doing for what feels like 20 years or so... the last player I know who had the same influence on a team performance was Diego Maradona.” 

The last player to score four goals in a Liverpool shirt was Messi’s current strike partner at Barcelona Luis Suarez. 

The Uruguay international netted a first-half hat-trick before adding another after the break in a 5-1 league victory over Norwich City in 2013.

“Mo is on a fantastic way... but how it always is in life, if you have the skills then you have to show it constantly,” Klopp added. 

“His consistency is good for us. He helps us a lot, the boys love playing with him, he loves playing with them, so it’s good.”

Liverpool, who needed a positive response after losing to Manchester United last week, went off the boil for much of the first half, but Salah tapped in Andy Robertson’s cross close to halftime to move past the 33 goals scored by Fernando Torres in his first season at Anfield in 2007-08.

When his cross picked out Firmino who finished with his back to goal for Liverpool’s third in the 49th minute it was a matter of how many the hosts would score.

Salah sealed his hat-trick when he wriggled into the area and stabbed the ball past Watford keeper Orestis Karnezis and added his side’s fifth when he pounced to smash home a loose ball after another fine Liverpool move.

Watford had decent spells in the first half and Roberto Pereyra did strike the crossbar with a second-half free kick, but they were easy pickings for Klopp’s slick side.

Defeat left Watford in 11th spot, a comfortable eight points above the relegation zone.

“It was a real tough day for the whole team — 5-0 is a pretty embarrassing scoreline,” Watford defender Adrian Mariappa said. “Today Salah was on it and he punished us.”

Liverpool moved to 63 points from 31 games, two behind second-placed Manchester United who have a game in hand. 

AMMAN — Jordan is readying to play Kuwait on Wednesday before playing Vietnam in its final 2019 Asian Cup qualifier on March 27 with the draw for the finals a month away.

This week, Jordan dropped one spot to 117th in the latest FIFA Rankings issued over the weekend. The team’s latest results and ranking means it will not be in best position for the Asian Cup draw. Jordan lately lost to world’s 66th ranked Finland and beat 12th ranked Denmark’s second tier U-21 team during a training camp in Abu Dhabi, as observers pointed out that facing second tier line-ups might not give expected outcomes. The upcoming agenda might include matches against China, Uruguay, Croatia and Albania as coaches try to prepare the team with matches against leading sides.

Jordan has already secured qualification to the Asian Cup finals after topping Group C eliminating relatively unknown teams in the Asian continent. The Kingdom beat Cambodia 7-0, Afghanistan 4-1, and were held 0-0 with Vietnam. In the return leg, Jordan managed a 3-3 draw with Afghanistan and beat Cambodia 1-0 to qualify alongside second place Vietnam.

Jordan is still out of the Asian top 10, trailing Iran (33), Australia (37), Japan (55), South Korea (59), China (65), Saudi Arabia (69), Uzbekistan (72), Palestine (73), Syria (74), the UAE (79), Iraq (83), Lebanon (87), India (99), Qatar (101), Oman (103), Vietnam (113), Turkmenistan (114) and Kyrgyzstan (115).

Germany leads the top 10 world rankings, followed by Brazil, Portugal, Argentina, Belgium, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, France and Chile.

Tunisia are the top-ranked Arab team at 23rd, followed by Morocco (42), Egypt (44), Algeria (60) and Saudi Arabia (69).

Jordan ended 2017 in 107th spot — a position it did not better throughout last year. The team is now lagging behind relatively uncompetitive Asian teams compared to its best FIFA Ranking of 37th in August 2004. The lowest ranking was 152nd in 1996.

Since first taking part in Asian Cup qualifiers in 1972, Jordan reached the Asian Championship three times. They also reached the Asian Cup in 2011 and 2015.

After elimination from the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, qualifying to the Asian finals was a priority for Jordan who have steadily slid down FIFA Rankings, and the team has had an inconsistent two years compared to 2013 when Jordan was on the verge of qualifying to the 2014 World Cup for the first time and advanced to play then World’s 6th ranked Uruguay in an intercontinental qualifying tie. Jordan lost the home game 5-0 and held the former World Cup champs 0-0 in the away match. Jordan had never reached that far in World Cup qualifying since taking part in qualifiers. Round 3 had been the furthest Jordan reached in the past seven times in the qualifiers since 1986.

DeMar DeRozan scored five of his game-high 29 points in overtime Friday night, including the go-ahead hoop with 53.1 seconds remaining, helping the Toronto Raptors survive a scare from the Dallas Mavericks in a 122-115 victory at Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

Jonas Valanciunas added five free throws in the final 10.7 seconds to ice the win for Toronto (52-17), which recorded their 11th straight win and has the top record in the Eastern Conference.

Harrison Barnes had 27 points for the Mavericks, who had opened a four-game trip with a 110-97 win at New York on Tuesday.

DeRozan’s close-range shot came after he, Delon Wright and Fred VanVleet had buried 3-pointers in the overtime session, allowing the Raptors to catch and pass the Mavericks, who had gone up by four early in the period.

After forging a 115-all tie on a 3-pointer by Dwight Powell, Dallas missed their last two shots and mixed in a turnover.

Toronto had two opportunities to win it in regulation, but with the score tied at 106-all, Serge Ibaka could not connect on a runner in the lane with 1.2 seconds left, and DeRozan misfired on a buzzer-beating follow shot.

Dallas blew an eight-point lead over the final 5:25. The Mavericks went the final 2:52 without a field goal, committing three consecutive turnovers before missing their last two shots.

Valanciunas finished with 21 points and a game-high 12 rebounds for Toronto, which won while resting guard Kyle Lowry.

VanVleet had a game-high eight assists to go with 14 points for the Raptors while Wright added 15 points, Ibaka and Pascal Siakam 12 apiece and CJ Miles 10.

Dennis Smith Jr. backed Barnes with 19 points for the Mavericks, who led for most of regulation play.

J.J. Barea collected a team-high six assists to go with 18 points, Powell had a team-high eight rebounds to complement nine points and Yogi Ferrell had 12 points for Dallas, who had beaten Toronto 98-93 in their earlier meeting in Texas.

Up 60-54 at the half, the Mavericks extended their lead to 11 on three occasions in the third quarter, the final time on a Ferrell jumper that made it 84-73 with 1:18 left in the period.

Dallas led 84-78 at period’s end.

Kings 98, Warriors 93

Buddy Hield gave Sacramento the lead for good when he made one of two free throws with 27.5 seconds remaining and Willie Cauley-Stein blocked Nick Young’s potential game-tying 3-pointer with 12.6 seconds left, sending the Kings to victory over injury-depleted Golden State in Oakland, California.

Hield scored a team-high 22 points, including two clinching free throws with 13.2 seconds left, for the Kings, who completed a 2-0 sweep of their games in Oakland for the first time since 2003.

Quinn Cook had 25 points for the Warriors, who learned before the game that All-Star forward Kevin Durant would miss at least the next two weeks with a tear in his rib cartilage. Durant joined Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on the Warriors sidelines, and watched Golden State’s eight-game winning streak come to an end.

Thunder 121, 

Clippers 113

Russell Westbrook recorded his 22nd triple-double of the season with 16 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds as Oklahoma City made plays down the stretch to beat visiting Los Angeles.

Corey Brewer led Oklahoma City with a season-high 22 points and also tied a season high with six steals, as the Thunder had a season-best 17 steals. Paul George, who was questionable with a pelvic injury, contributed 19 points as Oklahoma City (42-29) won their fifth straight and moved one game ahead of fifth-place Minnesota in the Western Conference.

Los Angeles forward Tobias Harris led all scorers with 24 points but did not score in the fourth quarter. Austin Rivers added 23, as the Clippers (37-31) lost for the sixth time in 15 games and dropped one-and-a-half games behind eighth-place San Antonio.

Celtics 92, Magic 83

Terry Rozier and Greg Monroe each scored 17 points and Al Horford scored 15 and had nine rebounds in his return as the shorthanded visitors from Boston beat Orlando.

Rozier added seven rebounds and five assists. Abdel Nader contributed 11 points and Shane Larkin added 10 for the Celtics, who snapped a two-game losing streak despite shooting just 37.8 per cent for the game.

Shelvin Mack finished with 16 points and seven rebounds to lead Orlando. D.J. Augustin and Jonathon Simmons added 13 apiece, Nikola Vucevic had 12 and Mario Hezonja 11 as the Magic lost for the sixth time in seven games after snapping a five-game skid on Wednesday against the Bucks.

Heat 92, Lakers 91

Goran Dragic scored the last of his game-high 30 points on a jumper with 15.2 seconds left, lifting Miami over Los Angeles at Staples Centre.

Kelly Olynyk came off the bench to add 17 for Miami, which tied Milwaukee for the Eastern Conference’s seventh play-off spot. James Johnson contributed 12 points and rookie Bam Adebayo chipped in 11.

Julius Randle led Los Angeles with a 25-point, 12-rebound double-double, while Brook Lopez hit for 18 points. Reserve Travis Wear and rookie Kyle Kuzma each scored 11 points.

76ers 120, Nets 116

Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons each recorded double-doubles and Robert Covington hit a go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute to lift Philadelphia over visiting Brooklyn.

Embiid finished with 24 points and 19 rebounds, and Simmons added 21 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds for the Sixers (38-30), who began the night in sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

Barring a complete collapse, Philadelphia appears headed back to the play-off for the first time since the 2011-12 season. Hollis-Jefferson scored 21 points and DeMarre Carroll added 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Nets, who have lost three in a row and are already eliminated from play-off contention.

BARCELONA — Lionel Messi scored two brilliant goals and created another for Ousmane Dembele, as Barcelona thrashed Chelsea 3-0 on Wednesday to reach the Champions League quarter-finals 4-1 on aggregate.

Messi opened the scoring after two minutes and eight seconds, the quickest goal of his career, slipping the ball through Thibaut Courtois’ legs from a tight angle.

The Argentine forward created the second with a blistering run from the halfway line which left three Chelsea defenders stumbling in his wake, before squaring the ball for Ousmane Dembele to rifle home his first goal for the club.

Marcos Alonso hit the post and Olivier Giroud was unfortunate not to be awarded a penalty for a tangle with Gerard Pique, as Chelsea tried to launch a comeback, before Messi killed the tie with his 100th Champions League goal.

“To have Messi in the team is a luxury, he’s such a good player that in any move he can create danger against you,” Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde said.

“Our attacking play goes through him and any move is improved by his touch.” 

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said his side needed a perfect display to progress, but they started disastrously at a packed Nou Camp when Luis Suarez teed up Messi, who squeezed a low strike through the legs of Courtois from a tight angle.

The visitors responded well with Giroud and Willian, who scored in the 1-1 first-leg draw at Stamford Bridge, particularly bright in attack.

But a mistake from Cesc Fabregas on the halfway line allowed Messi to break in again after 20 minutes and the number 10 left the Chelsea backline in tatters to set up the second goal, expertly finished by Dembele.

The English side, now needing two goals, nearly got one before halftime. N’Golo Kante dragged a shot centimetres wide and Marcos Alonso crashed a free kick off the post.

It was the third time across the two legs that Chelsea hit the woodwork and Antonio Rudiger did it again in the closing stages.

Giroud appeared to be brought down by Pique in the area but referee Damir Skomina did not bow to Chelsea’s protests for a penalty, before Messi drove at the defence again and slotted home Barcelona’s third in the 62nd minute, shooting low between Courtois’ legs for the second time.

“[For] the first goal, I did not expect Messi to shoot from that angle and I was too late in closing my legs, it was a mistake on my part,” Courtois told BT Sport.

“I played against Messi a lot of times, I have already conceded goals like that before. The weakest point is between the legs of a goalkeeper, it is annoying. 

“I cannot hide inside, I have to be a man and come out. I made some good saves too, but we go out with conceding four goals from four mistakes.”

Barcelona reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the 11th consecutive season while Chelsea were left facing a battle to qualify for the competition again as they scrap for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Cleveland forward LeBron James had 28 points as part of his 14th triple-double of the season and Kyle Korver scored 22 points in his first start since March 4, 2017, as the Cavaliers blew past the Phoenix Suns 129-107 at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Tuesday.

James amassed 13 rebounds and 11 assists, and he made 13 of 15 free throw attempts as the Cavaliers (39-28) broke a two-game losing streak and remained one-half game behind the Indiana Pacers for third place in the Eastern Conference.

Reserve Jordan Clarkson had 23 points off the Cavaliers’ bench and JR Smith had 14. Jeff Green had 11 points, three blocks and three steals for Cleveland, which never trailed while playing the fourth game of a season-long six game road trip that will continue in Portland and Chicago.

TJ Warren had 19 points and 10 rebounds, Josh Jackson had 19 points and Devin Booker had 17 points and six assists for the Suns (19-50), who lost their sixth in a row. They have lost 16 of 17 and 21 of 23. They have said they are not trying to lose in order to improve their draft position.

Clarkson made six of the Cavs’ 17 3-pointers and Korver made five. Smith and George Hill had two apiece. The Cavs were 17 of 35 from long distance.

James also had three steals, two blocked shots and five turnovers.

The Suns shot 38.8 per cent and made 6 of 32 3-point attempts.

Green and Korver scored five points apiece when the Cavs jumped to a 13-2 lead, and Clarkson’s 3-pointer in the final seconds gave them a 38-18 lead at the end of the first quarter. James had seven points in the period.

Booker’s dunk got the Suns within 47-35 before the Cavs pulled away again. Smith’s 3-pointer with four minutes left in the half gave Cleveland a 59-37 lead. It was 68-52 at half.

The Suns started a small line-up to match the Cavs, who were without big men Kevin Love (broken hand) and Tristan Thompson (ankle). 

Both are expected to miss at least the next two weeks. Dragan Bender started at the “5” for Phoenix, and small forwards Warren and Jackson were in the line-up.

Bender finished with seven points and five rebounds.

Cleveland also was without Rodney Hood, who has missed the past two games with a lower back strain.

AMMAN — While the battle for the title is nearly clear, the struggle at the other end of standings is closely contested as Week 19 of the Jordan Professional Football League kicks off on Thursday.

Wihdat were held 0-0 by Ahli, but still lead ahead of their match against Manshieh as they seem poised for their 16th league title, as titleholders and rivals Faisali beat Ramtha 2-1 but remained fourth ahead of their match against Baqa’a.

Jazira beat Manshieh and jumped to second place and next play Aqaba who beat Yarmouk 5-1 to move up to 9th.

Ramtha dropped to third after losing to Faisali and next play Hussein who were held 0-0 with that Ras and are now 10th. Shabab Urdun were held 1-1 with Baqa’a who are 8th ahead of their match against the titleholders.

This week, Jazira repeated their win over Oman’s Suweiq 4-0 after earlier winning 3-2, while Faisali lost 1-0 to Oman’s Dhofar having beaten them 2-0 in Leg 1 in the 15th Asian Football Confederation  Cup. Both teams still lead groups A and C in the second-tier Asian club competition. Earlier, Jazira held Iraqi Air Force Club 2-2 and beat Bahrain’s Malikieh 1-0, while Faisali held Syria’s Wihdeh 2-2 and upset Lebanon’s Ansar 3-1.

So far this season, reigning League and Jordan Cup champs Faisali beat Jazira to win the 35th Jordan Super Cup. Wihdat beat Jazira to win the Jordan Football Association  Shield. In the Jordan Cup, Jazira ousted Faisali while Shabab Urdun eliminated Wihdat to reach the final.

Last year, Faisali won their 33rd league title after a four-year break and combined it with the Jordan Cup. Ahli beat reigning league champs Wihdat to win the Super Cup, Shabab Urdun beat Faisali to win their second Shield title after they first won in 2007. Sarih and Sahab were relegated and replaced by Aqaba and Yarmouk from the First Division.

Although he missed 9 of 11 3-pointers, Harden compensated by shooting 14-for-14 at the free-throw line. He sat out the Rockets’ 23-point victory in Dallas on Sunday with a sore left knee.

The Rockets completed a gruelling stretch of five games in seven days with a 4-1 record, their lone loss coming at Toronto last Friday. Houston moved two games ahead of the Golden State Warriors in the pursuit of home-court advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs.
