Harrison, NJ (Sports Network) - The Houston Dynamo and Red Bull New York battled to a 1-1 draw at Red Bull Arena in Major League Soccer action on Saturday.Cardinals Kareem Martin Black Womens Jersey . After battling to a scoreless first half, the teams traded goals in the first five minutes of the second half to settle for a share of the points. Houston (0-1-2) had the better of the play in the opening frame, with striker Brian Ching looking dangerous before being subbed out with an apparent rib injury about five minutes before the break. New Yorks newest midfielder, Dwayne De Rosario, who came over in a trade from Toronto on Friday, saw his first action with his new club, coming on to start the second half. He made an immediate impact when his first touch on the ball was a pass into space that Red Bulls attacker Dane Richards ran onto. Richards sprinted into the Houston area, cut back past a defender, and deposited the ball in the back of the net for the 1-0 lead in the 47th minute. The lead was short-lived, however, as Houston got the equalizer just three minutes later. After a goal-kick by Houston, the ball was skipped into the offensive third by rookie striker Will Bruin. Cam Weaver, who replaced Ching in the first half, ran onto the ball behind the defense and chipped it over onrushing New York goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul to tie the game at one. The Red Bulls (1-0-2) had the better of the play the rest of the way, but Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall came up big to ensure his team would earn a point on the road. Houston will be gunning for its first win of the season when it hosts the expansion Vancouver Whitecaps FC in its next MLS game on April 10, while the Red Bulls will be gunning for the full points at Philadelphia a day earlier in their next MLS fixture. Two Tone Calais Campbell Limited Arizona Cardinals NFL Jersey .

The 41-year-old Ramirez is a .DENVER -- Reflecting on his game during a monthlong recovery from a broken left rib has helped Ty Lawson come back strong. Kenneth Faried scored a career-high 32 points, Lawson had 30 in his third game back from the injury and the Denver Nuggets beat the skidding Los Angeles Lakers 134-126 on Friday night. "When you sit out, you watch a lot of tape from a lot of games and I could see things opening up or things I wasnt taking," said Lawson, averaging 27 points and 11.6 assists since his return. "Its been helping me shooting the 3s, and making them, and its opened up the rest of my game, the mid-range shots, getting to the basket and getting more assists." Lawson shot 5 of 7 on 3-pointers and had 17 assists, matching his career high. Faried grabbed 13 rebounds and Wilson Chandler scored 19 points. Timofey Mozgov and Evan Fournier added 13 points apiece for the Nuggets, who swept the three-game season series. Fournier said its evident by Lawsons recent play that he put his time away from the game to good use. "When youre injured, you have the time to relax and think of what you can do better," Fournier said. "Hes so fast. Hes so good. Im just glad hes back on the team because he brings so much for us." Certainly more than the Lakers could deal with on this night. "He is fast, he can shoot, he can do everything," Lakers swingman Xavier Henry said. "He had a good game and you take your hat off to him." Los Angeles got 27 points from Pau Gasol but could not avoid its third straight defeat and sixth in eight games. This one ensured the clubs first losing season since going 34-48 in 2004-05. Jordan Farmar and Robert Sacre had 24 points apiece for the Lakers, who were coming off a 142-94 loss to the LLos Angeles Clippers on Thursday. Nike Drew Butler Arizona Cardinals Limited Alternate Jersey. The 48-point defeat was the biggest in franchise history for the Lakers, who have given up an average of 136 points in their last three losses. "You cant win that way," coach Mike DAntoni said. "We are trying everything we can do. ... I dont know if the air has gone out or we are tired or what the problem is." Trailing by 19 heading into the fourth quarter, the Lakers put together a 9-2 spurt to pull to 117-104 with 7:40 remaining. But they couldnt cut the lead below double digits until the final 1:30, and Faried responded with a layup on the other end before Gasol put in a final basket that still left the Lakers well short. "I know Im tired of it and our team is tired of it, but our defence needs to get better," Sacre said. "Thats the key, our defence. If we get guys (opponents) averaging 140 points each night, its not good enough." Faried hit a reverse layup in the final moments of the second quarter to push Denvers lead at halftime to 77-66 in what was its highest-scoring opening half of the season. The Lakers had pulled into a 55-all tie when Farmar and Ryan Kelly hit 3-pointers sandwiched around a 3 by Randy Foye, but the Nuggets gained some separation with a 10-0 burst that began and ended on baskets by Lawson. Denver led 42-35 after the first quarter, surpassing its previous high for points in the first by a point. NOTES: Gasol played in his 898th career game, ranking 29th among active players. ... The Nuggets previous high in the first half was 69 points against Orlando on Jan. 11. ... Faried had his 58th career double-double. Denver is 47-11 in those games. ... The Lakers had 47 rebounds to 43 for Denver, snapping a string of 11 consecutive games in which they were outrebounded. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '
