MIAMI -- Trey Mourning was the last Georgetown player to get into the game, as well as the last player to leave the court after posing for plenty of photos and hugs with friends and family.Best of all, his team got a win.L.J. Peak scored 24 points, Rodney Pryor added 19 and Georgetown closed with a flourish to beat La Salle 93-78 on Saturday in the Hoophall Miami Invitational. It was tied at 67 with 8:44 left, before the Hoyas finished on a 26-11 run.We have a happy plane ride back to D.C., Mourning said.Jessie Govan scored 19 points and Jagan Mosely had 14 for the Hoyas (6-4), who won their fourth straight. Georgetown shot 53 percent for the game and 58 percent from 3-point range.We had a pretty good week of practice, working with different offensive situations, Georgetown coach John Thompson III said. And I think the week of practice showed up. We got out ... they tied it up, and then I think our guys really locked in and focused at both ends of the court, to be honest.Jordan Price scored 23 points for La Salle (4-4), which got 19 more from B.J. Johnson and 10 from Pookie Powell. The Explorers were outscored 36-22 from the line, getting there 10 fewer times than Georgetown.We just lost control of it, La Salle coach John Giannini said. My kids are good players and they work hard. I just have to figure out our defensive problems. Our defensive results are not good and we have to figure that out.The last substitution of the night came with 23.2 seconds left, when Mourning got into the game -- a homecoming moment.He was a Miami Heat kid, once worked as a ballboy for the team and getting on the floor in the arena that his hometown team calls home had a certain significance. He spent some time working in the NBA visiting locker room, the one Georgetown used Saturday. The Hoyas even sat at the end of the floor where his father Alonzo Mournings No. 33 sways from the rafters as one of the numbers retired by the Heat.Its just good to be home, whether its at the hotel or dinner with my parents or on the court or on the bench, said the younger Mourning, who wears No. 33, just like his dad did for Georgetown and with the Heat. We dont get home very often. And to have it intertwined with the basketball season, it worked perfectly.BIG PICTURELa Salle: The Explorers were playing outside of Philadelphia for the first time this season -- it had four home games, one at the famed Palestra, and played Temple and Drexel on the road. ... La Salle still leads the all-time series against the Hoyas 15-10, though the programs have met only twice since 1965.Georgetown: Alonzo and Tracy Mourning sat courtside, and some of the proceeds from the event will benefit their Mourning Family Foundation. ... This was the only game the Hoyas have between Dec. 4 and Dec. 17. ... Moselys season-high coming into Saturday was six points, done on three occasions.HALL OF FAMERSA handful of Basketball Hall of Fame members were in attendance -- Mourning, of course, along with former Heat assistant Bob McAdoo and Heat President Pat Riley were among those present Saturday. When Riley was introduced, the de facto anthem for Miamis three NBA championship teams, Bruce Springsteens The Rising, blared through the arena.UP NEXTLa Salle: The Explorers get a week off, before hosting Florida Gulf Coast on Dec. 17.Georgetown: A great rivalry gets renewed on Dec. 17, when the Hoyas visit Syracuse. Mark Bortz Jersey . A knee to the thigh might have stung him the most, but his sixth straight double-double made up for the brief burst of pain. Bobby Massie Jersey .com) - Following a late-game loss to the reigning NBA champs, the Toronto Raptors will look to sustain their recent high-level play as they travel to Indiana to take on the Pacers. http://www.custombearsjersey.com/custom-ted-larsen-jersey-large-2536t.html . Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. Devante Bond Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. Deon Bush Jersey . Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. NASSAU, Bahamas -- If we had to choose the precise moment Thursday when Tiger Woods really started resembling the Tiger of the good ol days, it wouldnt be the opening drive that found the left rough between two bunkers. It wouldnt be the brilliant chip on the par-5 third that led to his first birdie in 466 days. It wouldnt even be his third birdie of the day, on the seventh hole, the product of a laser-beam approach shot and no-doubt-about-it putt that barely elicited a grin.No, the moment he truly started evoking memories of the guy whos won 14 major championships occurred on the next tee, the par-3 eighth, when his impact through the ball was immediately followed by one of his first audible exhortations during the round.One yard! he shouted, a command he often gave when he was hitting his best shots.The ball listened, nestling just a few feet from the hole en route to a fourth birdie and a share of the lead.Thats when some combination of Woods rustiness and the omnipotent golf gods forced him to collectively pump the brakes during his return engagement to competitive golf.You could insist he appeared very much like a different Tiger of old when he failed to get a delicate chip onto the surface from just left of the ninth green. And when he played army golf on the 11th, after a pulled tee shot left and a pushed second shot right led to a swipe at the turf with his club and an unplayable lie penalty stroke. And again when he hooked his drive on the final hole into the adjacent water hazard, then slammed the driver into the ground before carding his second double-bogey in three holes.By the time hed finished, Woods had turned a 4 under start and share of the lead into a 1-over 73 that left him in 17th place in the 18-man Hero World Challenge field.I just made some really silly mistakes, mistakes I dont normally make, Woods said, before reminding himself as much as anyone else, but I havent played in a while.This was a textbook round for someone who hadnt played in a while: Make a few nervy pars just to ease away the tension; ride the wave of adrenaline up the leaderboard; get overtaken by fatigue down the stretch.If we needed further proof, though, of WWoods return to familiarity, it came after the round, when he wouldnt acquiesce to that last observation.dddddddddddd.He was asked a reasonable question about whether hed run out of gas before making those two doubles.I wouldnt say that, he offered. I just made some mistakes.He was asked a similar question about whether he incurred issues with stamina and again wouldnt relent.No, no, not that, he argued. I just made a couple of mistakes out there.This was classic Tiger, who for years has made a practice of debunking even the simplest opinions of his game. Consider it evidence that the new normal for him might still be pretty normal.Score and result notwithstanding, that should be a main takeaway from Thursdays round. He wasnt doubled over with back pain, nor was he chunking uncomplicated chip shots. The truth is, if you didnt know he was a 14-time major champion and didnt know he was returning from a lengthy layoff, he appeared very much like any other professional golfer playing any round of golf.How quickly I fell into the competitive mode and I felt the feel of the round, Woods said when asked what he was most pleased about. By the time I hit my tee shot on the second hole, I had already gotten into the flow of the round. Thats something that for me, when Ive taken layoffs and taken breaks, its how quickly can I find the feel of the round. Its good to be able to play [for the first time] in, what, 15, 16 months and get it on the second hole.The other takeaway is that this round should provide cautious optimism moving forward. Critical analysis aside, his return to competitive golf should be viewed through a positive prism.Woods often talks about the process. Well, hes only going to get stronger and more comfortable moving forward. This should be seen as a terrific first step in that process.Earlier this week, as a few reporters chatted up Woods on the range here at Albany Golf Club, he struck shot after shot, then finally turned to them and quipped, Im not dead yet.On Thursday, the rest of the world got to see that, too.
