The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to make it a competitive series against the San Antonio Spurs Sunday night when Game 3 of the Western Conference finals shifts to Chesapeake Energy Arena. Ray-Ray Armstrong Giants Jersey . The Thunder badly need a lift and they may get one in the return of Serge Ibaka. Ibaka, who missed the first two games and was expected to miss the entire postseason with a calf strain, improved significantly and will return. Watch the game on TSN starting at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. "The abundance of blood and therefore swelling in Serges calf has reduced substantially and unexpectedly, allowing a level of movement and stability not thought possible after the initial diagnosis," OKC general manager Sam Presti said in a release earlier on Sunday before Ibakas return was confirmed. "With this new information, and in an effort to keep his status current, we are now listing him as day-to-day with the understanding that there is a possibility for him to play in this series." "Im waiting what the doctor going to tell me and how my body going to feel," Ibaka said after Saturdays practice, acknowledging pain is more of a concern than further injury. Oklahoma City desperately needs him. The Spurs marched to a 2-0 series lead and have done so in convincing fashion. San Antonio has won the two games by an average of 26 points, thanks in large part to Wednesdays 112-77 drubbing in Game 2. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili made history on Wednesday night and led the Spurs to another win. San Antonios Big 3 combined for 47 points and the trio passed Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Cooper as the all-time winningest trio in NBA playoff history, winning their 111th postseason game together. Parker scored a game-high 22 points, Duncan went for 14 with 12 rebounds and Ginobili added 11 points off the bench in the blowout, as the Spurs leave the comfy confines of AT&T Center for Oklahoma City. In league history, 94 percent of teams to open a seven-game set 2-0 have gone on to advance. The Spurs sadly know all about the six percent. San Antonio held this exact margin in the 2012 Western Conference finals against Oklahoma City, only to lose the next four and watch the Thunder lose to the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. "We know what were walking into," Duncan said. "Theyre so much better at home. Theyre going to have a lot of days to let it all fester." Duncan also racked up just under 29 minutes, passing Abdul-Jabbar for second most playoff minutes in league history in the process. Duncan is just 27 minutes back of Kobe Bryants all-time mark of 8,641 and barring injury will pass him later in this series. Danny Green made 7-of-10 from 3-point range for the Spurs, who won Mondays Game 1, 122-105. He finished with 21 and Boris Diaw was the other San Antonio player in double figures with 11. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook didnt do nearly enough to make up for Ibakas absence. The MVP and his electric point guard netted just 15 points apiece on 16 and 24 shots, respectively. The other three OKC starters only scored four points between them. "Were disappointed in our performance. We have to make a few adjustments and come back better," Thunder head coach Scott Brooks said. "We will continue to figure things out as a group like we always have done and come back Sunday and play a much better basketball game." The Thunder led 26-24 after the first quarter but were outscored 88-51 the rest of the way. The poor play has led to some blowups on the floor for OKC. At the end of the first half, when the game started getting out of hand for the Thunder, prior to a timeout, Westbrook and Durant got into a heated exchange. "I was just getting on Kevin about some stuff and he got on me right back," explained Westbrook. "And thats what teammates do. Thats what leaders do. We get on each other, we come back and we talk about it, and then we come out like nothing ever happened." The two have combined to shoot 35-for-80 from the field in the first two games. Westbrook has taken 10 more shots than the league MVP. Game 4 will be Tuesday night in Oklahoma City. Custom New York Giants Jerseys . As analysts we do the same thing, so here are some observations from week one. First there were two major upsets. I should say, major upsets in the eyes of the fans and prognosticators. Ray-Ray Armstrong Jersey . Philippe Desrosiers stopped 42 shots through overtime and three more in the shootout to pick up his third shutout of the season for Rimouski (31-15-7). Zachary Fucale made 28 saves for Halifax (34-17-3) in the loss. http://www.nygiantsproshop.com/authentic-kyle-lauletta-jersey.html .C. -- Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe is resigning after 13 seasons at the school.CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders offensive line made room for Jon Cornish to run for 175 yards and four touchdowns the last time the Saskatchewan Roughriders visited McMahon Stadium. Then Calgarys offensive linemen held CFL sack leader Alex Hall to zero sacks when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers came to town earlier this month. Can they continue their success Saturday, now that Hall is a Roughrider following his trade from Winnipeg? A 42-27 loss to Calgary on Aug. 9 was an anomaly for a Saskatchewan defensive line that was talented enough before Halls arrival Oct. 6. Saskatchewan is tied for second in the CFL in sacks with Montreal and ranks second in stopping the rush. The Roughriders defence contributed to 28 points scored off turnovers in a 35-14 win over the B.C. Lions last Saturday. "Their front four, front five now that Alex Hall has joined the club, theyre great run defenders and pass rushers," Calgary head coach John Hufnagel said Monday following the Stampeders team photo. "Its going to be a big challenge for our offence to be able to run the ball efficiently and effectively and protect our passers." Calgary (13-3) and Saskatchewan (11-5) have already secured home playoff dates, so its now a matter of who hosts the division semifinal Nov. 10 or the final Nov. 17. Calgary can secure first in the West Division with a win or a tie Saturday. Saskatchewan can extend the race for first place to the last week of the regular season with a victory. Calgary and Saskatchewan are 1-1 against each other this season, so Saturdays victor would get the higher playoff seed in the event theyre tied in points at the conclusion of the regular season. "Truthfully, Im very pleased this game means something for both teams," Hufnagel said. "Itll get us playoff ready." Calgarys Charleston Hughes has pulled even with Hall for the league lead in sacks (15). Stampeder defensive end Cordarro Law is second with 12. But Saskatchewans John Chick, the CFLs defensive player of the year in 2009, Tearrius George, Jermaine McElveen and Ricky Foley can be hard on opposing offensive lines with a combined 29 quarterback tackles between them. While acknowledging Saskatchewans prowess on the defensive line, the Stampeders arent prepared to say the Roughrider front four with Hall will be their toughest test this season. "I think Saskatchewans defensive line is a huge strengtth for them," Stampeder tackle Edwin Harrison said. Alec Ogletree Jersey. "Any time you can add a player like Alex Hall to your unit, you get an immediate upgrade as a unit. "I dont want to say we dont look at our opponent, but every game is a big game. Every game we have somebody who is a quality opponent. "It will definitely be a huge test for us, an important test for us, but it will be a huge test and a huge game for our team because its the next game. Make no mistakes, this team, it doesnt matter who we play." Calgary leads the CFL in fewest sacks against and most rushing yards, a testament to the offensive lines performance. Theyve done it with a rotating cast of characters, because the offensive line wasnt exempt from the injuries besetting the Stampeders at almost every position this season. Harrison began this season on the nine-game injured list because of a lingering knee injury. The latest ailment is left tackle Stanley Bryant, who is questionable for Saturdays game with a knee injury. Right tackle Dan Federkeil moves back into the lineup after missing five games with a groin injury, but right guard Dimitri Tsoumpas remains sidelined with a concussion. JMichael Deane and Spencer Wilson have rotated in where needed on the right side. Rookie centre Brett Jones and guard Jon Gott are the only two linemen who have managed to stay in games week to week. Harrison says a lot of homework goes into adapting to personnel changes almost every week. "Every guy in our group does an outstanding job of preparing themselves to play each and every week," he said. "I dont think a lot of people know how much time we put in, not only on the practice field, but in the meeting room and at home. "As an offensive line, if everybody in that room isnt on the same page, we will not be successful." How significant is Calgarys containment of Hall on Oct. 5 and the dismantling of the Riders defensive line in August heading into Saturdays game? Not very, offensive line coach Mike Gibson said. "Those games didnt define who we are," he said. "Our body of work is defined by who we are. They were part of it no doubt. "Were first in the league in rushing, were first in the league in the least sacks and that wouldnt happen with just two games. We see good defences week in and week out and we just have to be prepared to play."
