PITTSBURGH -- Six Panthers broke into double digit scoring, including Cameron Johnson and Michael Young, who each scored 17 points as Pittsburgh survived a late scare from Buffalo to win, 84-79 Wednesday night.Pitt was looking to move on from a loss to crosstown rival Duquesne and had seemingly done that, going up by 26 points midway through the first half. But the Bulls clawed back with a 16-2 run to end the first half and got as close as one point in the second half.The end-of-half troubles represent something of a trend for Pitt. The same issue cropped up in the previous game.I thought for about 15 minutes to start the game, we played very, very well. We seem to have trouble closing the half, head coach Kevin Stallings said. We show stretches where were capable of being dominant.Pitt (7-2) shot a crisp 54.5 percent from the field, hitting 30 of 55, including 7 of 18 from beyond the arc and 17 of 25 from the line. But there were issues on defense as the Bulls closed the gap.We kind of just took our foot off the gas. That carried over into the second half, said senior forward Sheldon Jeter. I think we just got a little bit complacent.Buffalo (4-5) got 23 points and eight rebounds from forward Nick Perkins, whose move from center from forward to combat Pitts athletic lineup paid dividends. Blake Hamilton also moved to forward and scored 18 as Buffalo shot 49.2 percent (30 of 61).Really, once we got Nick more at the five and played Blake a lot more at the four, we got going and it helped out a lot attacking the press, said head coach Nate Oats.BIG PICTUREBuffalo: C.J. Massinburg played his first game of the season after missing time due to mono and made an immediate impact, scoring 14 points and providing a much-needed fourth scoring option behind Hamilton, Perkins and Willie Conner.Some of the younger guys got some experience while he was out, which I think will help us moving forward, head coach Nate Oats said. We knew we had four scorers. . We really need all four of those guys clicking.Pitt: Senior point guard Jamel Artis returned after serving a one-game suspension for failing to uphold the standards of the team. Artis scored 16 points and made the Pitt offense flow significantly better than it had against the Dukes. The Panthers had 20 assists on 30 baskets, including three from Artis.STAT OF THE NIGHTTurnovers have plagued the Bulls through the early part of the season. They came into the game with an average turnover margin of -5.3, but reversed that trend against Pitt, turning the ball over eight times while grabbing 10 steals from the Panthers.ROLE PLAYERPitt was outscored off the bench, 22-11 and their contributions lacked depth, as all 11 came from forward Ryan Luther. As a result of the ineffective bench, Stallings played four players more than 32 minutes.UP NEXT?Buffalo: Will return home for a date with Coppin State on Saturday. The Bulls have played just one home game so far this season, a 85-38 win over Nazareth on Nov. 17.

By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. SAN FRANCISCO -- The up-and-down Giants are going down to the wire in a bid to keep their even-year magic going.With three games left, manager Bruce Bochys ballclub is sandwiched between the Mets and Cardinals in the race for the two NL wild-card spots with two games separating the three teams.Its not exactly how Bochy envisioned it, not after the Giants went into the All-Star break with the best record in the majors. Given the alternative, however, San Franciscos skipper certainly isnt complaining.We certainly wish we were in a better position but you dont stop fighting, Bochy said following San Franciscos 7-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night. It is what it is as far as our situation that we created. We know that.The Giants -- who won the World Series in 2010, 12 and 14 -- are one game behind the idle Mets and one game ahead of St. Louis. The Cardinals beat Cincinnati on Thursday.San Francisco hosts the Los Angeles Dodgers beginning Friday, the Cardinals play Pittsburgh at home and the Mets close out the regular season in Philadelphia.I dont know whats going to happen but theyll keep fighting and well see what happens, Bochy said.Johnny Cueto pitched seven uneven innings for his 18th win to help set up the wild race to the finish.Cueto (18-5) overcame a shaky start in his first appearance since being sidelined more than a week with a groin strain. The All-Star right-hander matched his season high of 11 strikeouts, allowed two runs, nine hits and walked one to beat the Colorado for the third time this season.After we took the lead I just got focused on what I needed to do, Cueto said through an interpreter, adding that hes open to pitching in relief against the Dodgers if needed. Im ready. The last game is on Sunday and if they give me the ball Ill take (it).Conor Gillaspie, Angel Pagan and Brandon Crawford had two hits apiece to help the Giants bounce back after getting shut out a night earlier.Nolan Arenado had two hits and ann RBI for Colorado, which was eliminated from playoff contention over the weekend and has dropped eight of 10.dddddddddddd(Cueto) found his groove and he was doing his thing, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. Once he gets rolling hes one of those top-of-the-rotation guys that can be tough to get to.On a night when St. Louis rallied to win on a walkoff hit in the ninth, San Francisco staged its own comeback.Arenado hit an RBI double in the first and scored on David Dahls triple to put the Rockies up 2-0.The Giants tied it with two runs in the fourth, then went ahead in the sixth with help from Colorados defense. The Rockies committed two errors, including a wild throw by third baseman Arenado on Cuetos one-out bunt single that allowed two runs to score.Colorado starter Jon Gray (10-10) allowed five runs over 5 1/3 innings and left shortly after he appeared to get hit in the right ankle by Crawfords line drive in the sixth.It hurt pretty bad but Ill be all right. Nothing serious, Gray said.TAKING NO CHANCESBochy used four relievers to record the final six outs. One-time closer Santiago Casilla was not among them. Instead, Sergio Romo pitched the ninth and retired Charles Blackmon on a fly ball to end it. Youre in a situation where you have to win now, Bochy said.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: INF Eduardo Nunez is making slight progress from a mild hamstring strain but could still miss the wild-card round of the playoffs if San Francisco makes it that far. Nunez has not played since Sept. 25.UP NEXTRockies: RHP Chad Bettis (13-8) makes his final start of the season against Milwaukee on Friday. Seven of Bettis wins this season have come at Coors Field.Giants: LHP Madison Bumgarner (14-9) pitches the series opener against the Dodgers on Friday night. Bumgarner is winless over his previous four starts and has a 4.21 ERA during that span.
