Trail Blazers edge Suns 105-102
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 19 - 12 - 2009

Jerryd Bayless had a career-high 29 points and made three free throws in the final 9 seconds to give the Portland Trail Blazers a comeback 105-102 win over the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Thursday.
Brandon Roy added 27 points and eight rebounds for the injury plagued Blazers, who trailed by 15 points in the third quarter.
Bayless made 1-of-2 free throws with four seconds left to give Portland a three-point lead. Steve Nash's off-balance 3-point attempt bounced off the rim as time expired.
Amare Stoudemire had 27 points for the Suns, who have lost six straight on the road for the first time since 2003-04.
Heat 104, Magic 86: In Miami, the hosts were in control throughout for a surprisingly comfortable win over the Eastern Conference champion Orlando.
Dwyane Wade had 25 points and seven assists and Michael Beasley added 22 points for the Heat, who beat their Florida rivals for the second time in as many meetings this season.
Dwight Howard finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds for the Magic.
Bulls 98, Knicks 89: In Chicago, the home team came from 17 points down to beat New York.
Luol Deng scored 24 points and John Salmons added 20 for the Bulls, who took control with a 15-2 run in the fourth quarter. Salmons scored seven points in the final 48 seconds, hitting a key 3-pointer.
The Knicks led by 17 in the first quarter thanks to a torrid start by Al Harrington, who scored 14 of his 18 points in the period. New York attempted an NBA-record 29 3-pointers in the first half, hitting nine. The Knicks finished 16 of 47 from long range, setting an NBA season high for 3-point tries.
Yao return on schedule
Yao Ming says he is recovering well after foot surgery and hopes to return to the NBA by next season.
“I'm definitely recovering and the recent results of my checkups allowed me to make this long trip back to Shanghai from the US,” Yao said Friday at the launch of a shark conservation project.
“I might be completely recovered by next season, but so far I don't know exactly what day it starts. The game schedule hasn't come out yet.”
The 2.29-meter (7-foot-6) Houston Rockets center has said he wants to allow enough time for his bones to fully heal following the operation to repair a hairline fracture in his left foot suffered in a May 8 playoff against the Los Angeles Lakers.
