LOS ANGELES -- After giving up 11 offensive rebounds and losing by an uncharacteristic 17-point margin in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, the Lynx felt like their identity had been stolen.Minnesota simply isnt accustomed to losing the battle on the boards.But in an elimination game with the WNBA championship on the line Sunday, the Lynx turned to defensive anchor Sylvia Fowles to steer the team back to rebounding supremacy.Led by Fowles game-high 13 rebounds, the Lynx dominated the glass and beat Los Angeles 85-79 to force a decisive Game 5 on Thursday (ESPN2, 8 p.m. ET) in Minnesota.Rebounding is our identity, said Fowles, who helped the Lynx outrebound the Sparks 41-25. If we want to win on the road, thats something that we have to do.Fowles struggled mightily in Fridays Game 3, posting a career-low four rebounds as Los Angeles hauled in 11 offensive boards.After Game 3, we kept it at the top of our minds that four rebounds from us bigs wasnt enough, Fowles said. We just tried to go out there and assert ourselves better.Fowles finished Sundays season-saving victory with her fourth double-double in seven games, adding 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting.Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said Fowles hustle plays on the glass were huge. The Lynx created 12 second-chance opportunities off 14 offensive rebounds, six of which were grabbed by the 6-foot-6 post.Anybody that understands what it takes to win games, you know that rebounding is at the top of the list, Reeve said. Its possessions, and so we got huge effort from Sylvia Fowles.Minnesotas rebounding margin Sunday was particularly impressive given the absence of forward Rebekkah Brunson, who after being whistled for three fouls in the first quarter was used sparingly by Reeve for the rest of the game. Brunson, who was the teams second-leading rebounder behind Fowles at 7.3 boards per game during the regular season, finished with just two rebounds in 17 minutes.Minnesota made up for Brunsons absence collectively, the majority of the production being spread amongst the other four Lynx starters. For the second time this postseason, the first not including Brunson, four Lynx starters totaled at least six boards, including a playoff-high six rebounds from veteran guard Lindsay Whalen, seven rebounds from Seimone Augustus and nine rebounds from Maya Moore.I think everybody wants to come in and own the boards, said Moore, who scored a game-high 31 points. Collectively, as a team, we have to help Syl out because she creates so many opportunities for us by being in there. We appreciate the heck out of her.Augustus said the Lynx expect the same level of production from Fowles in Thursdays winner-take-all Game 5. Its a level of expectation that she says Fowles has met all season.We expect the world from her, and tonight she came through, Augustus said. We took advantage of trying to get the boards up, Syl had six offensive boards tonight, got us some extra possessions. If we continue down that path, I think well be fine.

Its an influence in football and a big part of the game. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Germaine-Pratt-Jersey/ . -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year. Anthony Munoz Womens Jersey . It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home. Durant scored 32 points and the Thunder beat the Bulls 107-95 on Thursday night for their eighth straight win. Renell Wren Youth Jersey . Bjorn, who had a 36-hole total of 8-under 134, made a testing six-foot putt to save par on the 16th and a birdie on the 17th before bogeying the final hole after a misjudged approach shot. American Kevin Streelman was in second place after shooting a 69. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Dusty Hannahs hasnt experienced all that many shooting slumps in his life, but the Arkansas guard might just have found the answer to his early season shooting struggles by not starting.For a second straight game, the Razorbacks sharp-shooter came off the bench on Tuesday night -- scoring 17 points in 17 minutes as Arkansas (7-1) rallied from a halftime deficit for an 84-72 win over Houston.Hannahs was 6 of 11 from the field and has now hit 5 of 10 3-pointers in his last two games, coming after he was held without a 3-pointer in the two games before that. After leading Arkansas in scoring last season, the senior is now embracing whatever role Razorbacks coach Mike Anderson gives him.I just tried to stop thinking about (missing shots), even though it was impossible to stop thinking about it because I was just watching so many misses happen, Hannahs said. ... I was relaxed the last game and relaxed this game, and I think its smooth sailing from here on, hopefully.Hannahs had plenty of help as Arkansas won its fourth straight game, with first-year junior Daryl Macon adding 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Moses Kingsley added 14 points and eight rebounds, while Dustin Thomas finished with 11 points as the Razorbacks shot 59.3 percent (16 of 27) in the second half after trailing 35-34 at halftime.But it was Hannahs who provided the biggest spark, particularly in the first half when he scored 10 points in nine minutes.Look how efficient he is, Anderson said. ... I think the key is getting playing time. Like I said, hes still a starter in my mind.Rob Gray scored 22 points to lead the Cougars (6-2), whose two losses this season have both come on the road against Southeastern Conference opponents. Damyean Dotson had 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Galen Robinson had 14 points and Wes Vanbeck scored 10.Arkansas entered having won seven of its last eight games against its former Southwest Conference rival Cougars, who were making their first visit to Fayetteville since 1991.The two teeams also came in averaging more than 84 points per game, though Houston struggled early while falling behind by as many as 14 points in the first half.dddddddddddd The Cougars rallied, however, to take a 35-34 halftime lead -- with 32 of those points coming from the backcourt quartet of Dotson, Robinson, Gray and Vanbeck.The four finished with a combined 61 points, but it wasnt enough to overcome Arkansas hot second-half shooting.We still had a lead in the second half, Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. ... This is a game we could have won, but youve got to play a little bit better defense and get a little more production out of our bigs in a game like this.BIG PICTUREHouston: The Cougars had the guards to run with the Razorbacks, but they had no answers off their bench -- which was outscored 34-14. Houston entered averaging 85.1 points, but it shot only 40 percent (14 of 35) in the second half.Arkansas: The Razorbacks failed in their first true test of the season, falling 87-71 at Minnesota on Nov. 22. On Tuesday, they played like the team coach Mike Anderson had in mind when he signed guards Macon and Jaylen Barford from junior college -- with an eye on immediately turning around following a 16-16 season. While Barford struggled with only two points, Macon was in control throughout, a positive sign for a team intent on returning to the NCAA Tournament after missing it last season.MISSING DAVISDevin Davis, averaging 12.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, played only three minutes for Houston and was scoreless after cutting two fingers on his right hand early in the game. The 6-foot-7 junior needed six stitches to stop the bleeding, and Sampson was forced to play a smaller lineup without him.UP NEXTHouston begins a four-game stretch at home by hosting Rhode Island on Saturday.The Razorbacks wrap up five straight games at home when they host North Florida on Saturday.
