Das Team » vericks: Friday at Utah, where Dallas lost 97-81

WIMBLEDON, London -- The clamour surrounding Andy Murrays title quest here may have already moved towards fever pitch, but he is blocking out the noise.The world No.2 enjoyed his best clay-court season (18 wins, 3 losses) and is fresh off a record fifth Queens title with a favourable draw in SW19.Add to that his reunion with coach Ivan Lendl and Britain is dreaming Murrays name will be etched on the Centre Court Rolls of Honour for a second time next Sunday.?I used to look ahead a lot more than I do now and think a lot about it, he told the BBC. Now its just a thought that comes into my head, and I can move on from it fairly quickly.The thing is, the more you tell yourself not to think about something, the more you do. Its how you deal with that. Im able now to put it to one side.Murray and Lendl, unbeaten in six matches, are certainly off to a hot start. Another six wins would see them claim their second Wimbledon title, having ended a 77-year wait for a British male singles champion in 2013 during their first spell together.But the Scots tactic to keep his mind focused on the present could be linked to cultivating a home environment.He has surrounded himself with family in SW19 -- wife Kim took their baby daughter Sophia for her Wimbledon debut Tuesday and Murrays grandparents were also there.Conserving his energy for the latter rounds wasnt the only reason Murray wanted to take care of business quickly on Centre Court in his opener against Liam Broady.I havent seen her [Sophia] since I came off, Murray told a press conference after his win. I wont get to see her now. Shell be in bed when I get back.Ill have as much contact with her as I can during the tournament. When Im playing, its obviously more difficult.Nick Kyrgios is another player here keeping his family close. The controversial 21-year-old Australian received a code violation?for swearing in his win over Radek Stepanek but by his standards has seemed a lot more zen.I actually dont like travelling that much, he said. Ive been told: How are you going to be a tennis player if you dont like traveling?I try to bring my family when I can. Having the people that are important to me around me helps a lot, having that sort of home environment.Murray and Kyrgios are on course to meet in what would be an exciting fourth-round contest but you wont catch the Scot admitting he has thought about that.His focus, instead, has been on Lu Yen-hsun, whom he is scheduled to face Thursday. The world No.76 from Taiwan made the quarterfinals here in 2010 with a five-set win over three-time finalist Andy Roddick.Lu, whose late father was a chicken catcher in Taipei, won two Challenger events on grass in the build up to Wimbledon and reached the final of another. He is on an 11-match winning streak and, at 32, has the experience to make things difficult for Murray.Hes had a very good run, Murray told a press conference. On the grass hes played very well. It will be a really, tough match, and a good test for me early in the event. Ill need to perform well in that one.Murray was impressive in his win over Broady -- he defended the only two break points he faced and won 88 percent of points on his first serve, but has admitted there are still some kinks to iron out in his game.I served well and was hitting the ball clean but I can move a bit better, which then improves my defence, he told the BBC. I didnt defend as well in the first match as I wouldve liked. Thats one thing Id like to do bit better. Jason Heyward Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Sammy Sosa Jersey .

DALLAS -- Reggie Jackson took another step forward in his return from a knee injury.Jackson scored 20 points -- a season high in his sixth game -- and Andre Drummond led a dominant rebounding effort with 17 as the Detroit Pistons beat the Dallas Mavericks 95-85 on Wednesday night.Detroits floor leader had nine points and three of his six assists in the fourth quarter, when the Pistons finished a run that started late in the third to overcome a 12-point Dallas lead. Jackson missed the first 21 games this season recovering from left knee tendinitis.Thats the player he can be, said teammate Jon Leuer, who scored a season-high 19 points. Thats the player we need him to be because he is a great floor general and a good leader for us.Leuer was a plus-25 off the bench as the Pistons beat the team with the worst record in the Western Conference three nights after losing to Philadelphia, the last-place team in the East.Drummond grabbed 10 rebounds in the first 7 1/2 minutes and the Pistons had a 29-9 edge on the boards at halftime and 50-30 for the game. The 6-foot-11 center had more rebounds than Dallas by himself until the middle of the third quarter, when the Mavericks finally went ahead 15-14.Harrison Barnes led the Mavericks with 19 points.The Pistons went on a 27-5 run covering about 10 minutes in the third and fourth quarters, turning a 64-52 deficit into their first double-digit lead at 79-69 after an alley-oop layup by Aron Baynes with about 5 minutes remaining.Dallas Wesley Matthews had a season-low four points on 2-of-10 shooting, ending a three-game stretch with at least 25 points. Deron Williams scored 16 but was just 3 of 13 as one of the NBAs worst-shooting teams finished at 41 percent, just below its average.This one was frustrating tonight because we had control of the game for most of it, Matthews said. So weell learn from it and look at what went wrong.ddddddddddddKentavious Caldwell-Pope had seven of his 11 points in the fourth quarter, including a 3-pointer when the Mavericks were within four points with about 3 minutes remaining.TIP-INSPistons: Drummond had at least 15 rebounds for the 11th time in 25 games. ... Baynes had 10 rebounds and eight points. ... Jacksons previous season high was 18 points in his debut Dec. 4 against Orlando.Mavericks: Barnes was Dallas leading scorer for the 13th time in 25 games. ... Williams was 9 of 9 on free throws. ... The Mavericks had a season-high 13 steals.ANOTHER DALLAS INJURYMavericks center Salah Mejri, who led the team with eight rebounds, injured his left ankle in the fourth quarter and didnt return. He said an X-ray didnt show any damage but he planned to get an MRI on Thursday. Dallas is already missing starter Andrew Bogut with a right knee injury, and theres no timetable for his return.Star forward Dirk Nowitzki missed his 10th straight game and 18th out of 20 with a strained right Achilles tendon. Key backup guard J.J. Barea missed his 15th straight with a left calf strain.HOW WAS IT TIED?The Pistons were tied 43-all at halftime despite the huge rebounding edge and holding two Dallas starters scoreless, in part because of 13 turnovers to just three for the Mavericks. Besides the turnovers, even the ones we didnt turn the ball over, we had a lot of sloppy possessions that we didnt get good shots because we didnt handle the ball well, coach Stan Van Gundy said.UP NEXTPistons: Friday at Washington, where Detroit has lost four straight games.Mavericks: Friday at Utah, where Dallas lost 97-81 to drop to 0-4 on the way to a franchise-worst 0-5 start.
