WASHINGTON -- Otto Porter didnt think much of Otto Porter chants in the final minutes of the Washington Wizards 118-93 rout of the Boston Celtics. But they sure were familiar.Back in the same building he called home when he starred at Georgetown, Porter scored a career-high 34 points and had 14 rebounds Wednesday night. Porter shot 14 of 19 and 3 of 5 from 3-point territory, sparking the Wizards to a 26-point lead after a quarter -- an advantage that never dipped below 15 the rest of the way.Right now Im trying to play at a high level every night, Porter said. Im trying to do what it is I can do to help this team win.Porter scored 20-plus for the second consecutive game and delivered the win he believed the Wizards (2-5) desperately needed. On a night Bradley Beal left with right hamstring tightness and John Wall was ejected for the second game in a row, Porter was the offensive and defensive catalyst with four assists, three steals and three blocks.He gives you a lot of winning basketball plays, coach Scott Brooks said. You can look at his field goal percentage, you can look at all the things that he does in his midrange game, his 3-point shots developed, his offensive rebounds.Porter earned plenty of credit from the Celtics (3-4) for his energy all over the court.He outworked us, getting off his rebounds, put-backs, said Isaiah Thomas, who led Boston with 23 points. Youve got to tip your hat to him, but they were running isolation plays for him and we just couldnt guard him.SLOW STARTThe Celtics started the game 4 of 22, including 0 of 8 from 3-point range, as the Wizards 26-point lead was the largest by any NBA team after the first quarter this season. According to ESPN Stats and Info, Bostons eight points were its fewest in the first quarter since scoring seven against the Milwaukee Bucks in 1974.I didnt think there was a lack of purpose or focus, coach Brad Stevens said. I thought we looked a little shook by them on offense.WALL EJECTEDWall, who scored 19 points, was thrown out with 5:24 left when he was assessed a Flagrant-2 on video review for fouling Bostons Marcus Smart. It was his fifth career ejection but second in as many games, and Wall was also fined $25,000 on Wednesday for inappropriate actions toward an official when he was tossed from the Wizards loss to Houston on Monday.We have to keep our composure, Brooks said.HORFORD PROGRESSStevens said C Al Horford made some more progress in the leagues concussion protocol Tuesday after the team left Boston. Horford has missed four consecutive games.The process restarts itself if you have symptoms when you start the different levels of exercise, so hes had to restart a few times already, Stevens said.TIP-INSWizards: Beat the Celtics for the first time since Dec. 27, 2014, snapping a four-game skid. ...

Air Force One Rea . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament. Surrey 415 (Roy 110, Burns 88, Foakes 63*) and 266 for 7 dec (S Curran 71, Foakes 65*, Roland-Jones 3-44, Rayner 3-71) drew with Middlesex 293 (Gubbins 82, Simpson 58, S Curran 4-60) and 278 for 6 (Bailey 110*, Franklin 70, Ansari 4-63)Scorecard A little after six oclock on the final afternoon, George Bailey unfurled a sumptuous straight drive off Sam Curran. It was the final ball of the match, and a draw was already assured, but no matter: Baileys excellence was undiluted until the very end.Middlesex have been served magnificently by Australian batsmen in recent seasons, Chris Rogers and Adam Voges among them. Yet as Bailey walked off at Lords, saluted by the opposition and the MCCs members, he could reflect on an innings that any of them would have been proud to claim as their own.Bailey had not merely protected north London pride, prickled when Surrey knocked Middlesex out of the Royal London One-Day Cup on Tuesday, but also enhanced Middlesexs lead at the summit of the County Championship to 13 points, although Yorkshire, one point further back, retain a game in hand.He has enjoyed a storied career, captaining Australia in the World Twenty20, playing in the Indian Premier League and being involved in a 5-0 Ashes win. Yet this was something new: a first century at Lords, and the private bliss that followed. Id be happy with no one in the ground here. Playing here is so special, Bailey said.While Bailey is accustomed to T20 pyrotechnics, here he revealed himself to be a man with adhesive defence and an unbending will to resist Surrey, though never did he abandon his relish for marmalising any delivery that offered width. Baileys century arrived through three consecutive rasping cuts, off Stuart Meaker; 15 of his 20 fours came between backward point and extra cover.Along the way Bailey had done a little to revive the battered reputation of Australian players against spin bowling, even if he will encounter bowling and pitches more venomous when he ventures to Sri Lanka after playing in Middlesexs T20 quarter-final at Northampton on Tuesday. It was nice to face a bit of spin today - Im not sure if thats quite the same as the boys have been facing in Sri Lanka. No doubt Ill be getting a bit more of that.Bailey forged a wonderful Antipodean alliance with James Franklin, who accompanied him for 51.2 overs of steadfast defence. While the two never imagined victory possible - It was always going to be out of out of reach, Bailey said - nor did they attempt to play in a way that was unnatural to them.One significant effect was to minimise the amount of consecutive deliveries that Surreys spin twins bowled to either batsman: Ansari managed only three maidens in 29 overs, which spoke of how Bailey and Franklin never became becalmed. Franklin, who had just been dropped by Ben Foakes off Sam Curran, was finally prized out when ZZafar Ansari located the rough and got the second new ball to spin viciously into his stumps: a delivery befitting the innings of the man it dismissed.ddddddddddddIt had come too late, even if Gareth Batty was not prepared to accept as much. Even when there were wickets to get than balls to take them in, Batty refused to countenance calling the game off as a draw, perhaps unable to comprehend how Surrey had put so much into a game yet would not be rewarded by victory.Only a few hours earlier, Surrey had seemed on the brink of an emphatic win. A wicket apiece for the Curran brothers with the new ball had given Surrey a platform from which to mount an assault for victory and how Zafar Ansari seemed to do that after lunch. Trying to use his feet to negate the turn, Nick Compton was deceived by a wider, quicker ball and neatly stumped by Foakes.Then, Dawid Malan, attempting to do the same, flicked a ball onto the toes of Dominic Sibley, fielding at short leg, whereupon the rebound was snaffled by Foakes. And when John Simpson was trapped lbw, playing back, Middlesex had lost three wickets for 11 runs, and a swift ending looked probable.There were puffs of dust on the pitch. There were footmarks left by Surreys pace bowlers. There was every ounce of effort that Surrey could muster. But it wasnt enough to make this wicket deteriorate on the final day; the trueness of the wicket at the end of the game surprised both Bailey and Surreys coach Michael di Venuto. Perhaps di Venuto was left ruing all the assistance he has given Bailey, a fellow Tasmanian, over the years with his technique.Surrey hurtled everything of themselves at Bailey and Franklin. They tried their spin twins, and even used Dominic Sibley for a few overs of exploratory legspin - the first, indeed, almost claimed Nick Compton, who top-edged a pull tantalisingly out of Jason Roys reach. The pace bowlers were summoned in short bursts, and had a captain who who not shy to innovate. At one stage Sam Curran even bowled with three catchers in front of the wicket on both the offside and legside.The quicks tried again with the second new ball, and Foakes spilled Franklin off Curran. After Franklin was eventually dismissed, Batty then implored Meaker and Curran to summon even more from within themselves. They did so but Bailey, farming the strike after Franklins late dismissal, was not for moving.Middlesex will draw strength from salvaging a draw from a game in which they were outplayed for three and a half days, in Baileys reckoning. It means that they have now five games at Lords this season, and drawn the lot. One wag suggested that, even if four-day Test matches are introduced, five-day Championship games should become the norm at Lords. ' ' '
