The Hornets got back in the game with a strong third quarter in which they held San Antonio to 4-of-21 shooting and 14 points. We went through a little dry spell in the third quarter, said Green. It seemed like there was a lid on the basket, but we kept moving, kept finding each other, and kept penetrating. The 17-point halftime spread was down to five points after three, and Gary Neal hit from deep early in the fourth to trim it to two before San Antonio re-established its offense. Matt Bonner and Manu Ginobili, both of whom scored 10 points, hit consecutive 3s to jumpstart a 12-0 run. Duncan scored twice on the flurry that gave the hosts an 81-67 edge. It was a good win, said Parker. We had a hard time in the third quarter, but fourth quarter we got it back together.

The right-field video board would be 200 feet smaller — 2,200 square feet — and the left-field video board would move 30 feet closer to the centre-field scoreboard.Following the vote, Cubs spokesman Julian Green said the multiple changes to the project over the past couple of years highlight the challenge the team has in getting renovations done in 26 weeks.ddddddddddddWe think weve now reached a conclusion to how we will move forward with the outfield signs, he said.The tweaks the Cubs brought before the commission were made in hopes of winning a major federal tax credit from the National Park Service. The credit would be awarded only if the stadium is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and meets the secretary of the interiors Standards for Rehabilitation.Also attending the commission meeting was Tom Moore, an attorney representing a group of owners of nearby rooftop stands with a view of the Wrigley playing field. Moore reiterated the owners opposition to the signs, which block the views from several rooftops.Wrigley Field is undergoing a privately funded $575 million renovation. ' ' '
