BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Shelton Mitchell scored a career-high 18 points and grabbed five rebounds Sunday as Clemson defeated Alabama 67-54.Alabama (5-5) narrowed Clemsons lead to 11 points or less three times over the final 12 minutes. Clemsons Gabe Devoe responded by sinking 3-pointers the first two times to maintain the double-digit advantage for the Tigers (8-2).Fellow Tiger, Avry Holmes only points in the second half came on a 3-pointer that followed Devoes, a sequence that both coaches felt was critical in the game.It was big. Thats what you got to do in road games, Clemson coach Brad Brownell said. Make big shots, you know the home teams going to make a run or two.That big shot didnt fall the third time Devoe took one from behind the arc to secure Clemsons double-digit lead, and Alabama cut the lead down to nine points for the first time during the second half.Clemson held on, responding to the Crimson Tides late 7-0 run with a layup from Mitchell who also sank four free throws over the final minute of the game.Devoe finished with 11 points to join Mitchell in double figures for Clemson.Brownell said his teams defense wasnt up to his expectations in Clemsons game on Tuesday against SC State, but he thought it was a difference maker today, especially in the first half.I just think we kept them to one shot was a big thing, and I thought our guys were locked in, Brownell said. We had some time to get ready from our last game so we prepared very well. I thought our individual defense was pretty good.Avery Johnson Jr. came off the bench for the Crimson Tide to score a career-high 17 points. He was the only Alabama player to finish in double figures.We told our guys hes a great layup maker and thats a skill a lot of guards dont have, being able to make shots over top of shot-blockers and big guys when you make penetration, Brownell said.The Crimson Tide outrebounded the Tigers 37-32 thanks in large part to the efforts of Donta Hall and Dazon Ingram who grabbed seven and six respectively.BIG PICTUREAlabama: The Crimson Tide was unable to overcome a first half that saw the team miss 11 straight shots from the floor and must now win one of the teams next two games to avoid starting Southeastern conference play under .500.Clemson: The Tigers overcame a sluggish start of their own to get revenge for last years 51-50 loss to the Crimson Tide and extended the teams current winning streak to six games with the victory.UP NEXTAlabama: The Crimson Tides tour of its home state continues with a trip to Huntsville, Alabama to face Arkansas State on Wednesday.Clemson: The Tigers can earn their second straight win against SEC competition with a road victory over rival South Carolina on Wednesday.HE SAID IT: Alabama coach Avery Johnson on taking care of the basketball: Like I tell our guys all the time. Think about your closest family member. Youre not going to throw them away because you love them right? Just think about this, so value that ball just like you value your closest family member.QUICK COMPARE:Alabama: The Crimson Tide finished the night 3-of-20 beyond the arc and only made one of seven attempts taken in the final three minutes.Clemson: The Tigers finished the night 9-of-22 shooting 3s and made three of six shots taken behind the arc in the final 11 minutes of the game and attempted none in the final three minutes.

Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night.Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week they discuss LeBron James apparent endorsement of flopping, the Chris Williams situation in Hamilton, the Chicago Cubs pitching staff and the Philadelphia Phillies "classy gesture" towards Jacoby Ellsbury. Cathal Kelly, Toronto Star: My thumb is down to LeBron James. As per usual, LeBron James has played phenomenally through this playoff run, but he has to begin to understand that everything he says affects the game of basketball. Everything he does affects the game. This series between Indiana and Miami has been largely defined by diving. James has been a culprit, but the worst thing he did is to seemingly endorse the practice, saying after a game, "any advantage you can get over an opponent so be it." That is absolutely wrong. Other players listen to what James says. We dont want basketball to become international football. At this point, cheating can never be endorsed and certainly not by the best player on the planet. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is down to Kent Austin and the front office staff of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for not finding a solution to the Chris Williams situation. Williams was the most dynamic player in the Canadian Football League last year, offensively catching touchdown passes, running six kicks back for touchdowns, doing everything you would want from a football player. He is not in camp right now because he wants to go to the NFL, and his contract with the Ticats doeesnt pay him enough to stay in Hamilton or report this year.dddddddddddd What the Ticats should do is sign him to a new contract, pay him more or double his salary for this year, then let him go at the end of next year. When you have a Chris Williams, you have to find a way to get him in the lineup because the CFL needs Chris Williams a whole lot more than Chris Williams needs the CFL. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is up to the Chicago Cubs pitching staff, and not for the way the Cubs pitchers pitch, its for the way they hit. This week, Travis Wood hit a grand slam home run. The Cubs pitchers in 105 at-bats have five home runs and 19 RBIs. For comparison purposes well take, say Adam Lind, the primary DH for the Blue Jays. He has 127 at-bats, five home runs and 12 RBIs. Im an old, National League guy. This is the best argument I have against the designated hitter. Dave Hodge, TSN: I hate to do it, but my thumb is down to the Philadelphia Phillies for their so-called "classy gesture" in the wake of Jacoby Ellsburys five stolen bases against them on Thursday. The Phillies decided they would honour Ellsburys red sox-team record performance by giving him a commemorative sixth base. They took the actual second base off the field and sent it on to Ellsbury. I wonder how Phillies catcher Erik Kratz felt about that? He might have preferred to direct attention away from Ellsburys record, lest other base runners who can prey on him decide theyd like to try for gifts from the Phillies, too.
