Karl-Anthony Towns and Kristaps Porzingis are redefining the role of the NBA big man.The 7-0 Towns, last seasons Rookie of the Year, and the 7-3 Porzingis, the runner-up, are imposing figures down low but can spread the floor with their ability to hit 3-pointers. And they arent confined to the block, preferring to drift on the wing or at the elbow.The two 21-year-old giants will meet for the second time in three nights on Friday when Porzingis and the New York Knicks host Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves at Madison Square Garden.Towns dropped in a career-high 47 points and grabbed 18 rebounds on Wednesday in Minnesota, but the Timberwolves (5-13) dropped a 106-104 decision to the Knicks (9-9) on Carmelo Anthonys jumper with 2.3 seconds to play. Since the 2003-04 season, Anthony has the most game-winning shots in the final five seconds of a game with 15.Porzingis led New York with 29 points and eight rebounds. Hes shooting at a 40-percent clip from 3-point range, including 44 percent (13 for 34) in his last five games.Towns is 27 of 72 (.375) from the beyond the arc. He attempted 82 3-pointers all of last season.We are two big men that can kind of change the game, Porzingis said. We didnt play too much against each other, but he was being super-aggressive.He was driving to the basket, shooting from the outside, playing in the post. He was doing everything. We had trouble stopping him, but Im happy we got the win.Towns, who is friendly with Porzingis, took Wednesdays loss to heart, even though he became the youngest player in Timberwolves history to score at least 40 points.I had some miscues where I let things slide away, Towns said. I missed three free throws, missed some rebounds, missed some shots I should have made.Porzingis saw some time at center as Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek prefers to play a small lineup with Anthony and three guards, leaving center Joakim Noah on the bench. Noah sat out Wednesdays game with an ankle injury.Its the third game this season Noah has missed because of injury or illness. Hes averaging four points and 8.4 rebounds in his first year with the Knicks. Kyle OQuinn started at center in Noahs absence.New York may also be without starting shooting guard Courtney Lee, who exited Wednesdays game with a left ankle sprain. If he is unable to go, Hornacek will look to a combination of Justin Holiday and Brandon Jennings, who has two games of 11 assists off the bench, to pair with Derrick Rose in the backcourt. Deandre Ayton Suns Jersey . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. Kelly Oubre Jr. Jersey . The Dutchmans tenure got off to a poor start when referee Guido Winkmann awarded a penalty within two minutes for Niklas Starks clumsy challenge on Alexandru Maxim. https://www.thesunslockerroom.com/Kevin-Johnson-City-Edition-Jersey/ . - Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie never doubted he would bring back coach Dennis Allen for a third year despite back-to-back 4-12 records.

After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday.With the 2016 World Twenty20 underway in India, we look back at some more highlights from previous tournaments... In Part One, we took you back to some incredible moments from the 2007 tournament, including Zimbabwes victory over Australia, and looked back at some of the standout moments from 2009.In part two, we rewind the clock to the 2010 and 2012 editions, starting with a phenomenal win for New Zealand... Just the startThe third edition of the World Twenty20 in 2010 began with a last-over thriller between New Zealand and Sri Lanka in Guyana. Mahela Jayawardenes 51-ball 81 led Sri Lanka to a total of 135-6. New Zealands run chase was also slow going and they still needed 41 entering the final four overs. Jacob Oram slammed back-to-back sixes off Ajantha Mendis to keep the game interesting before getting out. New Zealand required 10 off the last six balls but Sri Lanka had saved their death overs specialist Lasith Malinga for such an eventuality. They had, however, reckoned without the resourceful batting of Nathan McCullum, who threaded a gap on the leg-side to hit a four and then launched the penultimate ball for six over long-off. Game over!Special K-apugedera Chamara Kapugedera roars after finishing off India in the grand manner Sri Lanka and India went into their final Super Eights match in 2010 needing a win to progress to the last four. Set a target of 164 in St Lucia, Sri Lanka were in early trouble at 49-3 before a middle-order rescue act that was finished off in some style by Chamara Kapugederas 16-ball 37 not out. With three still required from the final delivery, Kapugedera carved left-arm seamer Ashish Nehras offering for six to seal Sri Lankas five-wicket victory and send India home.Hussey heroics Mike Hussey leaps into Mitchell Johnsons arms after a sensational salvo Chasing a target of 192 in the 2010 semi-final against Pakistan in St Lucia, Australia were in the unpromising position of needing 34 off the final two overs with eighth-wicket pair Mike Hussey and Mitchell Johnson at the crease. Mohammad Amirs penultimate over started and finished with Hussey hitting fours on the leg-side and, in between, he and Johnson ran the fielders ragged with four twos to just about keep the match alive. Still, 18 were required from the last six balls and Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi had saved his premier spinner Saeed Ajmal for the job. Johnson edged a single to bring Hussey back onto strike and he promptly went six, six, four, six to finish the game with a ball to spare! Hussey ended up unbeaten 60 from 24 balls, including three fours and six sixes, and described the win as the best feeling of my career.The long wait is over Paul Collingwood starts Englands celebrations... England had never previously won a global limited-overs tournament, with World Cup final defeats in 1979, 1989 and 1992 the closest they had come. That all changed in Barbados in 2010 as Australia were swept aside by seven wickets in the World T20 final. Michael Clarkes men were restricted to 147-6 on an excellent batting track at the Kennsington Oval and a second-wicket stand of 111 at 10-an-over between man-of-the-match Craig Kieswetter (63) and man-of-the-tournament Kevin Pietersen (47) ensured the required-rate was always under firm control.dddddddddddd. Skipper Paul Collingwood hit the winning runs to leave 18 balls unused and, finally, England could start the celebrations.Malingas revenge Lasith Malinga - devastating at the death, or in a Super Over New Zealand and hosts Sri Lanka played out another tight finish when they met in Pallekele at the 2012 tournament. With the scores level, Sri Lanka failed to get the single they needed off the final delivery when Lahiru Thirimanne was run out. New Zealand were fortunate the ball was deflected onto the non-strikers stumps when Ross Taylor fumbled James Franklins return, but they failed to take advantage in the Super Over. Sri Lanka scored 13 runs off Tim Southees extra six balls despite not hitting a boundary and that proved sufficient with Malinga this time making himself the hero by going through his full repertoire while conceding only seven.Pollard stretches high Kieron Pollard - often finds a way to silence opposition fans West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard has made a habit of pulling off stunning catches during his career and he was at it again during the group fixture with defending champions England in Pallekele. Englands pursuit of 180 was already in trouble when Jonny Bairstow lofted a drive back down the ground off Chris Gayles bowling. He almost got enough of it. Almost, but not quite, as Pollard sprinted around the boundary and grabbed the ball two-handed above his head as it plummeted out of the night sky - before setting off for a celebratory charge around the outfield. He made it look easy, said Nasser Hussain, but it certainly wasnt.Champagne Super Over Marlon Samuels - keeping West Indies on course for a title triumph New Zealand suffered more Super Over misery later in the 2012 tournament against eventual winners West Indies. Part-time spinner Marlon Samuels was selected to bowl the additional six deliveries for West Indies despite conceding 14 off the final over in regulation. That decision looked to have backfired as Ross Taylor - fresh from his 62 not out - slammed a four and a six among New Zealands 17 runs. But Samuels was undeterred and strapped on his pads to turn himself from villain to hero. Southee started with a no-ball that Gayle dispatched for six and, helped by the free-hit and then a wide, West Indies needed four off two deliveries. No problem for Samuels who sent a low full toss for six to midwicket and earn his side a semi-final place at New Zealands expense.Sky Sports is the only place you can watch all 35 games in 27 days of the 2016 ICC World T20.
