SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Chris Wondolowski and Walter Martinez each scored and the San Jose Earthquakes beat FC Dallas 2-1 Saturday in the season finale for both teams. The Earthquakes came into the game in contention for a playoff berth, but would have needed to score 13 goals and have Colorado lose Vancouver on Sunday. Stephen Keel scored in the 90th minute for FC Dallas, which already had been eliminated from playoff contention. David Bingham made his first start of the season for the Earthquakes. San Joses victory gave the retiring Ramiro Corrales a successful send off. The last original member of the MLS from 1996, Corrales made his first start since Sept. 14 and had two chances to score in the first 11 minutes. The Earthquakes finished the season with a seven-match unbeaten streak and a 16-game unbeaten run at home. Dallas, which ended its home season with a victory its last time out, went 1-5-1 over its last seven games. Martinez came back from a missed shot in the 23th minute to give the Earthquakes a 1-0 edge four minutes later. Justin Morrow sent a forward pass along the left sideline, where Martinez collected it and kicked a low shot past Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz and into the right corner of the net. Wondolowski received a pass from Shea Salinas just inside the penalty box and fired a drive into the near top corner in the 57th minute. San Jose went 11-5-3 under interim coach Mark Watson, who replaced Frank Yallop midway through the season. Watson remains a leading candidate to become coach. Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman was on the sidelines for the final time after announcing earlier that he would retire following the season. He spent the past six years in the MLS. Corrales leaves as the Earthquakes leader in games played with 250. A brief, pregame ceremony was held for him and he received a standing ovation when he subbed out in the 60th minute and was carried off the field by teammates Steven Lenhart and Victory Bernandez. Peter Luccin received a yellow card in the 85th minute. cheap jerseys . - After publicly asking management to trade him a few days ago, Josh Smith gave the Atlanta Hawks too many reasons not to on Sunday night against the Sacramento Kings. cheap nfl jerseys . - Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson has been pleading with his players to improve their defensive effort and efficiency for most of the last two weeks. http://www.cheapjerseyschinanflstore.com/.

Hell gladly take this memory from an otherwise forgettable season for the Jazz. Hayward scored a career-high 22 points and hit the go-ahead free throw with six seconds to play, and Utah snapped an eight-game losing streak with an 86-85 victory over the sleepwalking Lakers on Tuesday night.CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland -- Austrian veteran Benjamin Raich got his first World Cup victory in more than two years on Saturday, winning a super-G as pre-race favourite Didier Cuche finished third. "I never gave up and that is very important, if you are a sportsman or in life," Raich said. Raich showed that all his technical skills have survived a serious knee injury one year ago, mastering a tough middle section as he clocked 1 minute, 34.37 seconds on the Nationale course. Adrien Theaux of France was runner-up, 0.24 seconds back, and Cuche trailed Raich by 0.36. "After my accident last year and my injury, and after the two years without victory, its great," Raich said. "I was sure that it was possible (to win again) but you never know. I worked really hard." Cuche, who won Fridays super-G when Raich was third, praised his old rival who was criticized by some Austrian media over his early-season results. "Nobody had enough patience to let him do what he is able to do," Cuche said. "But with Benni you can be sure that if he has no trouble, no pain, he will be back sooner or later." Cuche helped attract 23,000 spectators to see him race in Switzerland for the final time this weekend before retiring. Swiss teammate Beat Feuz, who is nursing knee pain, was 10th and missed another chance to take the overall standings lead from Austrian Marcel Hirscher. Hirscher, defending overall champion Ivica Kostelic of Croatia and Feuz, are separated by just 15 points. Hirscher sat out Saturdays race to prepare for his specialist giant slalom event on Sunday, and Kostelic is expected to race again in two weeks after knee surgery.dddddddddddd Bode Miller was sidelined for a second straight day to help his left knee heal after undergoing minor knee surgery in the United States this week. Miller could race the GS on Sunday. Raichs 36th World Cup victory, sixth on the all-time list ahead of Miller, was his first in super-G. The former World Cup overall champion, who will be 34 on Tuesday, last won in December 2009 at a super-combined event at Val dIsere, France. Raichs injury sustained at the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, ended his season one year ago, but he has come back strongly since January. His three podium finishes this season have all been in Switzerland. Despite supporting Cuche, the knowledgeable Swiss crowd generously applauded Raich when he crossed the line after an impressively clean run on the soft snow. Cuche lost his ideal line after a jump and was slowed by venturing into soupy snow at the side of the course. "I knew that I was able to win again but you have to bring it from the top to the bottom. It cost me all the speed because I had to push into the soft snow," the 37-year-old Swiss star said. However, Cuche closed to within seven points of super-G leader Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who placed ninth for the second consecutive day. Jan Hudec of Canada rose to third in the discipline standings, after adding a fifth-place finish to his runner-up spot on Friday. Two more super-G races are scheduled next weekend at Kvitfjell, Norway. Race temperatures were merely warm, as the sun occasionally broke through cloud cover, compared to Fridays relative Alpine heatwave. ' ' '
