s his second appearance on the list with a Vine that includes

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Wesley Johnson was hard-pressed to think of a more memorable shot hes had than his game-winner against Portland. Kent Bazemore lobbed to Johnson for the go-ahead basket with 6.9 seconds left and the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 107-106 on Monday night. Theyd been practicing that very play. "Its one of them. Its gotta be up there," Johnson said about where the shot ranked. "To pull out the win like we did and fight the whole game, it was a good one." Pau Gasol scored 22 points and the Lakers won their second straight, snapping the Blazers five-game winning streak. Jodie Meeks added 21 points. The Lakers, who led by as many as 15 points in the first quarter, pushed the lead to 97-86 in the fourth on MarShon Brooks short jumper. But Nicolas Batums 3-pointer narrowed the gap to 103-101 for the Blazers with 3:37 left before Wesley Matthews fadeaway jumper tied it at 105 with 1:10 left. Damian Lillard hit one of two free throws to give Portland its first lead since the first quarter. But the officials reversed a possession call with 7.1 seconds left, giving the ball to the Lakers. Bazemore pitched to Johnson for the deciding layup and Lillard missed a 3-pointer as time ran out. "These guys are straight up athletes in this league and you can just throw it anywhere around the dash," Bazemore said. "He (Johnson) caught it and could have actually dunked it but went with a safe one." Robin Lopez had 19 points and 16 rebounds, while Batum had 17 points and 15 rebounds for the Blazers. Los Angeles was coming off a 126-122 victory at home Friday over Sacramento, which snapped a three-game losing streak. But the Lakers still sit at the bottom of the Western Conference with the Kings. "They were making shots. They were making jumpers. I think we were deflated all the way around," Blazers guard Wesley Matthews said. "Their energy was higher than ours." The Blazers won the first meeting against the Lakers, 114-108 on Dec. 1. Xavier Henry, who had 27 points against the Blazers in December, returned to the Lakers lineup Monday after missing 28 games with a right knee injury, but he was played only sparingly. Coach Mike DAntoni said hed limit Henrys minutes to start. Steve Nash ran through drills on the court before the game but sat out of his eighth straight game after a brief return from a nerve root irritation, which causes him back pain. Earlier in the day at shootaround, DAntoni told reporters he was doubtful Nash would return this season. After the game DAntoni said: "Hes not quite there physically. He tried it and couldnt finish a game so theres really no point in pushing the injury further. Hes just trying to get well and then well see." Nash, who made the trip to Portland, was noncommittal: "Well see how I feel next week and if I get a chance to practice." Nash, 40, has played in 10 games for the Lakers this season, averaging 7.6 points and 4.7 assists. Kobe Bryant was also in Portland, but he has not been medically cleared to play after breaking his left knee in December. The Lakers jumped out to a 31-16 lead in the first quarter, capping a 14-2 run with Meeks dunk. Portland struggled with eight turnovers. Portland closed the gap in the second quarter, pulling to within 45-38 on Batums dish to Lopez for the dunk and a free throw. But Bazemores last-break dunk extended the Lakers lead to 56-47 with 3:27 left in the half. The Lakers led 63-56 at the half. Los Angeles wouldnt let the Blazers get closer than four points and Gasols dunk extended the lead to 82-73 with 2:36 left. Dorell Wright hit two consecutive 3-pointers for Portland to close within 82-79, but Bazemore answered with a 3 for the Lakers. Blazers coach Terry Stotts said he didnt believe his team overlooked the Lakers. "I think its a credit to the Lakers. They sustained their style of play from the very beginning," Stotts said. "They got out in transition, they were aggressive in passing lanes, they forced eight turnovers in the first quarter. They got us on our heels right away. We got back, but I thought what the Lakers did more than anything was they came out and sustained it for the entire game." Notes: Robin Lopez had 13 points in the first half, a new career high. ...

Fake Nike MLB Jerseys .com) - The surprising Calgary Flames host the winless New Jersey Devils at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Friday.1) Theres just something so satisfying about watching a guy whos 59 dunk like hes 8 inches taller. Adams State Universitys Josh Kioh takes flight with a bounce pass alley-oop 360. We dont know who soared in the air for longer, Kioh, or the kids flying around the gym after the destruction.2) Fans argue day and night about whos currently the best in-game dunker in the NBA (we here at Bar Down certainly do), and with one insane through the legs dunk, college player Brandon Peters can enter the conversation. Dont agree? Check the slow-mo.3) Well admit, the first time we watched this the handspring at the beginning kind of looked like a gimmick. But upon review, we realized the handspring pretty much means dunker Justin Darlington is essentially doing a through the legs from flat with no run up. Yikes! 4) We already loved the dunk, but add a clip from the movie Friday and youve got yourself one of the best Vine dunks going. A through the legs dunk off a wall? "Daaaaaamn" indeed.5) Okay, so earlier we said props were kind of lame, but lets reiterate. Props are lame, unless that prop is FIRE. A very odd choice of music considering the obvious choice shouldve been the menu music from NBA Jam, featuring announcer Tim Kitzrow yelling "HES ON FIRE."6) Forget what you hheard, good things come in twos.dddddddddddd Kenny Dobbs makes his second appearance on the list with a Vine that includes two dunks, and a dunk that includes two basketballs. 7) Sometimes the beauty of a dunk doesnt come from the technicality, but simply from how stylish it looks. This reverse dunk looks wildly out of control as soon as the dunker takes off, but thats what makes it so amazing. If any dunking video needs plane sound effects, its this one.8) At one point in this Vine the ball looks like its 20 feet in the air, which is approximately the height high schooler Javonte Douglas reaches to finish the put back slam. Hyperbole? Maybe. Insanity? Definitely.9) Justin Darlington makes his second appearance on this list, and all it took was an under the legs dunk over someone. You may still be questioning his first dunk, but consider this, Darlington can jump so high he can sit on top of your head without the use of his hands.10) We end our list on a light note. Some of you may remember the "dunk cam" craze that took over vine last year, but for those of you that dont all I can ask is, "why are you disturbing my class?" Hope you enjoyed our list, and try your best not to get dunked on unexpectedly, because the dunk cam might be watching! ' ' '
