Canada: 5 W - 1 T - 1 L, Gold Medal With one game left to play, Canada looked like a lock for silver at the 1990 World Junior Championships in Helsinki, Finland. A 5-4 loss to Sweden in their second-last game had put Canada behind the stacked Soviets in the standings. Sweden had scored three goals in 96 seconds to stun the Canadians and and put the Russians in the drivers seat. Russia had lost to Canada earlier in the round-robin, but led the standings at 5-1-0 while Canada was 4-1-1. All the Soviets needed was a win over Sweden in their final game and the gold was theirs. Canada had to beat Czechoslovakia and hope the Swedes could get at least a tie against Russia. That would give Canada the gold based on their head-to-head win over the Russians. But that was a tall order. Russia had a ton of future NHL talent, including Pavel Bure, Alexei Zhamnov, Sergei Zubov and Andrei Kovalenko. And the Czechs had Robert Reichel, Bobby Holik, Jiri Slegr and a big kid named Jaromir Jagr. Canada countered with its own stars like Eric Lindros and Dave Chyzowski, not to mention the usual Grade-A grinders like Kris Draper and Mike Ricci. It was perhaps the most well-balanced team Canada had ever iced at the tournament. They also had an ace in the hole in Stephane Fiset, who would be named the tournaments top goaltender. On the tournaments final day, all looked lost. Canada was beating the Czechs 2-1 behind Fisets brilliance, but was struggling to hold the lead. Russia, meanwhile, was ahead of the Swedes 5-4 late in their game. But the Swedes did Canada a huge favour, scoring with one second left on the clock to tie the Soviets 5-5, opening the door for Canada. Word of the Swedish miracle hit the Canadian bench with 2:37 left in their match with Czechoslovakia. They rallied to hold off Jagr and company, winning 2-1 to claim a miracle gold medal.

Orlandos Glen Davis tried to get in the way, only to be driven back into the padding under the basket as the Pelicans forward slammed home a windmill jam. New Orleans 20-year-old star took a triumphant stride over the baseline and glared intensely at the crazed crowd, his arms stiff at his side. The play gave New Orleans an eight-point lead with 1:24 left, punctuating a memorable all-around performance that lifted the Pelicans to a 100-92 victory over the Magic on Sunday night. "I just decided to go up strong, try to dunk it," Davis said. "That just energized the crowd, kind of deflated (Orlando) a little bit and got us going. That was a big play. Thats what we needed." Davis finished with 22 points, a career-high 19 rebounds and seven blocked shots. It marked the first time since the franchise was founded as the Charlotte Hornets in 1988 that a player on the club had that many points, rebounds and blocks in the same game. "His ability to finish in traffic and over top of defenders is second to none," Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. "When the moment was there tonight, he took over and thats what All-Stars do." It isnt certain Davis will be on the Western Conference squad when New Orleans hosts the NBA All-Star game Feb. 16. He wasnt voted in by fans as a starter, but could be selected by coaches as a reserve. "Im not really worried about that. Im worried about winning," Davis said. "We know were not where we want to be record-wise. Thats what weve got to focus on, what Ive got to focus on. ... If it happens, it happens, but Im trying to get more wins for the team." Davis may very well get a vote from Magic coach Jacque Vaughn, who expressed concerns about containing Davis before the game, then saw his fears realized. "I prefer not to be proven correct,&" Vaughn said.dddddddddddd. "Hes a great talent. ... He was trouble for us throughout the course of the night." Davis had seven of his rebounds on the offensive end, part of the reason New Orleans had 14 second-chance points. "Weve slowed him down before on the offensive glass, but tonight, he had his way with us," Magic forward Kyle OQuinn said. Tyreke Evans scored 13 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter to help ensure New Orleans first back-to-back wins in nearly a month. Led by Arron Afflalos 25 points, the Magic twice got as close as three points late in the fourth quarter, the last time on Tobias Harris runner with 4:26 to go. Victor Oladipo 18 points and five steals for Orlando, while Harris added 17 points and nine rebounds and Jameer Nelson scored 15 points. Brian Roberts had 15 points and Eric Gordon 14 for the Pelicans. Orlando outshot New Orleans 46.8 per cent (36 of 77) to 45.7 per cent (37 of 81), but New Orleans outscored Orlando at the foul line, 21-15, and outrebounded the Magic 48-32. New Orleans also converted 17 Magic turnovers into 30 points. The Magic, who have lost 13 of 15 games, never led during the final three quarters, but kept it close much of the second half. New Orleans led 62-58 after a 6-0 Magic spurt during which Oladipo hit two free throws, converted a steal from Gordon into a fast-break dunk, then stole the ball from Roberts to set up Afflalos layup. Gordon halted the surge with a step-back jumper from 19 feet, and Anthony Davis two-handed jam capped an 11-2 run that put the Pelicans back up by 13. Orlando closed the third quarter with Afflalos 3 and two layups by Nelson, and cut New Orleans lead to 75-71 on ETauwn Moores floater to open the fourth quarter. Evans responded with a reverse layup as he was fouled, and scored all 10 Pelicans points through the first 6:33 of the final period to help New Orleans maintain a slim lead. ' ' '
