Dallas Mavericks hosting the Miami Heat with the winner taking a
3-2 series lead. With only two or three games left this postseason,

everything else that ails him and fully expects to play tonight.

convincingly by Southern California in the 2005 Orange Bowl that

championships" since USC was stripped of the title for NCAA rules
infractions.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Cole Hamels won his eighth game while
striking out nine in eight dominant innings in the Philadelphia
