On THe AiR quarterback Matt Schaub, receiver James Jones, de- fensive linemen Justin Tuck and LaMarr Woodley and cornerbacks Tarell Brown and Carlos Rogers as play - ers with proven pedigrees but all at least 29 years old. Despite their advanced age, Tuck sees no reason why the new-look Raiders can't be this year's turn - around team in the NFL, like Kansas City a year ago. "A lot of people say you go to Oakland for your ca - reer to die," Tuck said. "I'm not looking at it like that. I'm looking at this like this is an opportunity to revive a storied franchise that's in a city with a great fan base that's going to be be - hind this football team, and the energy and excitement around this football team should be great. I'm excited about it." Tuck understands that the only way to change the outside perception of the Raiders is to win games once the season starts. The Raiders have lost an NFL-worst 123 games over the past 11 years, posting no winning records and earn - ing no playoff berths since going to the Super Bowl fol- lowing the 2002 season. That damaged the repu- tation of a once-proud fran- chise and has made it diffi- cult to attract some of the most desired free agents, leading to the short-term deals with the aging veter - ans. "The impression was they had a lot of talented players but they couldn't finish," Jones said. "Obvi - ously their record speaks for itself. I wasn't a part of the team back then but as we talked today, 4-12 is not good enough. When you play the Raiders in the past you kind of put that win on the board already. Now every - body has to look themselves in the mirror and we have to understand we really don't get much respect and we're not going to get no respect when you're 4-12." For the longtime Raid - ers who have never experi- enced winning in Oakland, the changes this offsea- son provide a major boost of energy. Fullback Marcel Reece, a team leader, spent plenty of time recruiting po - tential free agents and new left tackle Donald Penn even told him Tuesday that he got tired of all the text mes - sages. Reece stated before free agency that he wanted McKenzie to make bold moves and he's happy with the additions. Reece said he believes that the champion - ship experience of players like Tuck and Woodley can only help everyone on the roster. "Coming in to this free agency as an organiza - tion and as a team and as a leader for myself personally, we weren't looking for any saviors to come here and get in this locker room," Reece said. "We were looking for help to bring the tradition, the winning attitude and a championship pedigree back to this locker room and I think we did that." Raiders FROM PAge 1 Bogut has a fractured right rib and is out indefinitely. "I felt going into the game we were so much more re - laxed that we were going to play better," said Grif- fin, who shot 13 of 17 from the floor. "Really, it was the way we played. It wasn't about how many points we won by. We realized that if we played our game and do the things that we worked on, we'd be successful." The Clippers remained in Southern California to prepare for Thursday's game while the Warriors were back at their own fa - cilities trying to wipe away the memories of one of the worst postseason losses in franchise history. Curry and David Lee smiled and laughed near one corner. Across the gym, Klay Thompson engaged in a friendly game of horse with a pair of teammates. O'Neal held court with sev - eral members of the media, recounting the confronta- tion he had with Rivers. "We told each other we love each other," O'Neal said with a grin. "I'm sure if we saw each other right now we'd probably go out and have lunch together and talk about it. Nothing personal." It was the type of atmo - sphere coach Mark Jack- son was hoping for after re- minding his players they still own homecourt advan- tage in the series despite the lopsided loss in Game 2. "(We) have a young group and they've got to be re - minded," Jackson said. "We've accomplished what we set out to accomplish be- fore the series started. Now we have to take care of busi- ness at home." Warriors FROM PAge 1 The Associated Press i n D i A n A P O L i S » P a u l George scored 27 points and George Hill had all 15 of his points in the second half, leading the Indiana Pac - ers to a 101-85 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tues- day night in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series. The Pacers and Hawks are tied at a game apiece heading into Game 3 in At - lanta on Thursday. George was especially ef- fective even though he spent much of the night defend- ing Hawks point guard Jeff Teague, who had 14 points. Paul Millsap finished with 19 for Atlanta. The f irst 24 minutes looked like an exact dupli - cate of Game 1, but the Pac- ers pulled away with a 31-13 third quarter. Top-seeded Indiana took its first lead since the first quarter on Lance Stephen - son's tiebreaking three- point play with 7:58 left. The Pacers then put the game away with a 25-2 run that stretched into the fourth quarter. RAPTORS 100, neTS 95 » DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points, Jonas Valanci- unas had 15 points and 14 rebounds for his second straight playoff double-dou- ble and Toronto beat Brook- lyn, evening their first- round playoff series at one game apiece. Amir Johnson scored 16 points and Kyle Lowry had 14 as the Raptors re - bounded from a 94-87 loss in Game 1. Joe Johnson scored 18 points, Deron Williams had 15 and Mirza Teletovic 14 for the Nets, who will host Game 3 on Friday night. Hampered by foul trou - ble throughout the game, Brooklyn's Paul Pierce went 2 for 11 from the field, in- cluding 0 for 6 from 3-point range. He finished with seven points. nBA PLAyOFFS Pacers rally past Hawks 101-85 to even series 1-1 George scores 27 points in top seed Indiana's victory The Associated Press MOnTReAL » Max Pacio- retty lifted the Montreal Canadiens into the sec- ond round of the Stanley Cup playoffs Tuesday night with a power-play goal with 43 seconds remaining for a 4-3 victory and a four-game sweep of Tampa Bay. The first team to advance this year, the Canadiens also got goals from Daniel Briere, Brendan Gallagher and Lars Eller. Ondrej Palat had a goal and an assist for Tampa Bay. Victor Hedman pulled the Lightning within one goal three minutes into the third period, and Tyler Johnson tied the game three minutes later.

RAnge RS 4, FLye RS 1 » Derek Stepan, Martin St. Louis, Dan Girardi and Dan Carcillo scored goals, leading the Rangers. Hen - rik Lundqvist stopped 31 shots to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game 4 is Friday in Philadelphia. nHL PLAyOFFS Canadiens move into 2nd round Morales hasn't fared all that well against San Fran- cisco in his career, enter- ing the game with an 0-3 mark and a 6.57 ERA. But he handcuffed the Giants most of the game. He worked his way into a jam in his seventh and final inning when he allowed a two-out double to his coun - terpart, Bumgarner. But Morales struck out Angel Pagan with a sink- ing cutter — his 99th pitch of the night — to end the threat. Morales pumped his fist and let out a scream before heading toward the dugout. The previous time Mo - rales pitched seven innings was June 28, 2012, at Seattle when he was with Boston. Things got a little shaky for Colorado in the eighth, when the Giants had run - ners on first and second with one out. Rex Brothers was summoned and enticed Pablo Sandoval to hit into a double play to quell the rally. Same thing with the ninth, when Hawkins took over after Brothers got the first out of the inning. Hawkins walked pinch hit - ter Brandon Crawford and allowed a single to Gregor Blanco, who was also pinch hitting. Hector Sanchez, the third straight pinch hit- ter, struck out and Pagan bounced out to short to end the comeback bid. Arenado hit a solo shot into the seats in left to ex - tend his hitting streak to a career-best 13 games. He's hitting .365 during the streak, with two homers and six RBIs. Leading off in the bot - tom of the fourth, Tulowit- zki homered to left-center. It was his third homer of the season. Mixing a 93-mph fastball with a late-moving cutter, Bumgarner kept the Rock - ies off balance. Giants FROM PAge 1 | SPORTS | REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2014 2 B
