CHICAGO -- The Los Angeles Lakers needed a basket, and Julius Randle wanted the ball.Coach Luke Walton loved the whole thing.If its a one-on-one situation with space, we feel very confident that hell win that matchup, Walton said.Got it done in a big moment Wednesday night.Randle made a strong move against Nikola Mirotic for a tiebreaking layup with 45.1 seconds left, and the Lakers held off the Chicago Bulls for a gritty 96-90 victory.Randle had 13 points and matched a career high with 20 rebounds as Los Angeles bounced back from a 105-88 loss at New Orleans on Tuesday night. Lou Williams and Jordan Clarkson scored 18 points apiece, and Larry Nance Jr. finished with 12 points and 11 boards.Our guys just played hard, stayed mentally locked in, Randle said.Randles drive and layup gave Los Angeles a 92-90 lead. After Jimmy Butler missed on the other side for Chicago, Williams went 1 for 2 at the line with 20 seconds to go.Butler then missed another 3 and Randle and Nance combined for three foul shots to help Los Angeles hold on.Our guys have proven that when their backs are against the wall they can step up for a challenge, Walton said. They did it tonight. Thats a great win against a very talented team.Butler had 22 points on 4-of-18 shooting for the Bulls, who were hoping to build on a 4-2 road trip. Dwyane Wade, who was listed as doubtful after getting some dental work on Tuesday, scored 17 points, and Robin Lopez finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and a career-high eight blocked shots.It was an ugly game, Wade said. We have to find a way to win those games. No excuses.The Bulls used 40 points from Butler to beat the Lakers 118-110 in Los Angeles on Nov. 20. But the Lakers held the Bulls to 35.2 percent shooting in the rematch and enjoyed a 60-46 rebounding advantage.I think the missed shots definitely affected us, coach Fred Hoiberg said. You cant let that happen. That and rebounding has to be your constant.BANGED-UP LAKERSIt was an impressive response from Los Angeles after the team announced before the game that Nick Young strained his right calf muscle in Tuesday nights loss to the Pelicans, sidelining the guard for two to four weeks.The Lakers also were without guard DAngelo Russell, who missed his sixth straight game due to left knee soreness.GOOD START, BAD FINISHThe Bulls led by as many as 14 in the first quarter before settling for a 28-17 advantage after one. But the Lakers rallied in the second and it was tied at 47 at the break.We stopped rebounding. We stopped getting to loose balls. A lot of stuff, Butler said.

PROVO, Utah -- The Mississippi State Bulldogs are off to their worst start since 2013 and have yet to hit the most challenging stretch of their schedule.Odds are against the Bulldogs getting back into the SEC West race, but a quality bowl game is in the mix if they can traverse a brutal season-ending stretch of No. 6 Texas A&M, No. 1 Alabama, No. 22 Arkansas and No. 12 Ole Miss.But first, Mississippi State faces a BYU team (3-3) on Friday that upset Michigan State 31-14 last week in East Lansing. The Bulldogs (2-3) lost 38-14 to Auburn last week.When I got here the expectations were if we can go to a bowl game every once in a while that would be great, Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said. Thats certainly not the expectations within our program now, which is great. ... The expectations of the players have changed. They have bigger expectations and pressure from the outside. Not just themselves but from themselves and the outside. Every year just brings a different challenge. Last year was a challenge, go back two years ago and we go back with the challenge of being No. 1 in America and all the challenge that that brought.The honeymoon period for BYUs new coaching staff, including coach Kalani Sitake and offensive coordinator Ty Detmer, seemed to be over after the team fell to 1-3. The love is back after consecutive wins. Mississippi State may be in the midst of a rough year, but a win over an SEC team would be one of the highlights of BYUs season.They are a resilient bunch and they never quit, Sitake said about his team. When you have that, youll have some success. Weve faced a lot of great teams and another one this week. Nothing has changed. Well go into the schedule and well be tough. Obviously we lost some close ones but well build off that and have it work in a positive way to help us win this week.Things to watch when BYU hosts Mississippi State:RECORD BREAKER: BYU senior running back Jamaal Williams has averaged 206 rushing yards in the last three games and is ranked No. 2 in the nation with 866. He needs 63 more to set the school career record.Hes explosive, strong, quick, hits the hole, has the speed to break away when he does get out there, Detmer said.dddddddddddd Hes one of the best to play here and his yardage shows that and the consistency hes had year in and year out.ALL ABOUT FITZGERALD: When Mississippi State is playing well, its usually because quarterback Nick Fitzgerald is carrying the load. The sophomore is averaging 78 yards rushing per game, which ranks fifth nationally for a quarterback.Fitzgerald is one of only three quarterbacks in the country who has had at least 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in a game this season. One of the others is Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson.WATCH FOR JEFFERSON: Mississippi State defensive end A.J. Jefferson is third in the Southeastern Conference and 10th nationally with nine tackles for loss. The senior has 33+ tackles for loss during his career, which ranks fifth in school history.BACK ON THE BLOCK: Mullen and quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson are very familiar with BYU and the state of Utah. Mullen coached quarterbacks at the University of Utah from 2003-04. Johnson played quarterback at Utah and was the captain during the Utes 13-0 2008 season. He also coached quarterbacks for the Utes from 2010-11 before being promoted to offensive coordinator from 2012-13.STILL ON TOP: Senior quarterback Taysom Hill remains the starter for BYU after struggling early in the season and hearing some fans calling for sophomore Tanner Mangum. He hasnt had an interception in the last two games after throwing six in the first four games.Hes a unique player, Mullen said. Maybe like Tim Tebow in that way, hes a physical runner, a will-yourself-to-win guy. Hes not going to make dynamic plays running with the ball until all of a sudden he breaks into the open field and nobody catches him. He runs physical and you got him in the pocket and he really shows up on 3rd-and-4, or the game is on the line and he just finds a way to scramble and stay alive. Hes got that `it factor as a quarterback.---AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Kareem Copeland on Twitter: www.twitter.com/KareemCopeland Chiefs Jerseys China Cheap Nike Chargers Jerseys Cheap Nike Raiders Jerseys Wholesale Cowboys Jerseys China Cheap Nike Giants Jerseys Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys For Sale Wholesale Redskins Jerseys China Cheap Nike Lions Jerseys Packers Jerseys China Cheap Vikings Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Panthers Jerseys Hoodies Cheap Saints Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Nike Buccaneers Jerseys Cardinals Jerseys China Cheap Rams Jerseys Hoodies Cheap Nike 49ers Jerseys Seahawks Jerseys China Bears Jerseys China Cheap Nike Bills Jerseys Ravens Jerseys China Wholesale Falcons Jerseys China ' ' '
