The eighth-seeded Mav- ericks bounced back from consecutive losses by hand- ing the Spurs their first road defeat when leading after three quarters this season. Tony Parker scored 22 points to lead the heavily fa- vored Spurs, who are stuck in a tossup series after they won all four games against Dallas during the regular season. San Antonio took a nine-game winning streak against the Texas rival into the sixth postseason meet- ing between the teams. The second Game 7 be- tween these teams is Sun- day in San Antonio. The Mavericks won the other one there in 2006. Dallas' DeJuan Blair had 10 points and14 rebounds af- ter missing Game 5 against his former team when he was suspended for kicking Tiago Splitter in the head. NETS 97, RAPTORS 83 Deron Williams scored 23 points, shaking off a sec- ond-half injury, and Brook- lyn forced a seventh game in its first-round series by beating Toronto. Despite appearing to hurt his left foot or ankle early in the third quarter, Williams dominated his matchup with Kyle Lowry and helped the Nets put it away with a 3-pointer with 1:13 left that made it 92-79. Game 7 is Sunday in To- ronto, with the winner ad- vancing to face the defend- ing champion Miami Heat. It became the fourth first-round series ticketed for a do-or-die game in these playoffs. DeMar DeRozan scored 28 points for the Raptors, who will have to go the dis- tance if they are to win a seven-game series for the first time in franchise his- tory. They haven't won any postseason series since 2001. NBA PLAYOFFS Ellis nets 29, Mavs top Spurs Game 7 scheduled for Sunday in San Antonio for rivals No. 1 or No. 2.

The Division I champion- ships are Tuesday at Griz- zly Ranch Golf Club in Por- tola. Roundup FROM PAGE 1 takes a shot with Tapiture, who started three times at Churchill Downs as a 2-year-old. Asmussen is under investigation by Ken- tucky and New York rac- ing officials after an animal rights group alleged he and his former assistant mis- treated horses in their care. The forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 73 degrees, with a crowd of at least 140,000 expected. Keep an eye on jockey Calvin Borel. He and 15-1 shot Ride On Curlin will break from the No. 18 spot in the starting gate. Borel will try to hustle the colt over to his favorite path on the track — the rail. The rider nicknamed "Bo-rail" for his fence-skimming rides has three Derby wins in the last seven years. Post time is 3:32 p.m. PDT. Derby FROM PAGE 1 eighth save in eight chances in an adventurous ninth. After retiring pinch-hitter Evan Gattis and Heyward on groundouts, Romo gave up B.J. Upton's single and walked Freeman. But Romo ended the game when cleanup hitter Justin Upton took a called third strike. Minor continued his trou- bles with the long ball. He gave up four homers in his lastrehabstartforDouble-A Mississippi on April 25 and has allowed nine homers in his past seven big-league starts dating to last Aug. 31. Even so, his return could boost a Braves rotation that lost Kris Medlen and Bran- don Beachy to season-end- ing elbow surgeries during spring training. Minor, Atlanta's leader in innings pitched the past two years, began the night 19-13 in 46 starts since the 2012 All-Star break and had a 2.90 ERA that ranked fourth in the majors over that span. Notes: Giants RHP Tim Hudson, who won his 200th career game in Atlanta last year, is glad his next turn in the rotation is Tuesday at Pittsburgh. "I had nine wonderful years here," Hud- son said. "It was a dream come true to a player. I'm kind of glad I'm not pitch- ing here. It would be a little weird." Hudson is 4-1 with a 2.17 ERA in six starts this year. ... In a deal announced earlier in the day, Johnson and the Braves agreed to a $23.5 million, three-year contract covering 2015-17. ... RHP Gus Schlosser was optioned to Triple-A Gwin- nett to make room for Mi- nor on the 25-man roster. ... Minor's return has moved RHP David Hale to the bull- pen. Giants FROM PAGE 1 Boston was having its own struggles with run- ners on before Pedroia came through in the sixth off of re- liever Ryan Cook. Xander Bogaerts and A.J. Pierzyn- ski started the sixth with back-to-back singles off Dan Otero, who began the in- ning. Otero struck out Will Middlebrooks, then walked Bradley to load the bases with one out. Cook relieved Otero and got Pedroia down 0-2, be- fore he cleared the bases with a shot that just cleared the Green Monster. A's man- ager Bob Melvin challenged whether the ball cleared the yellow line before a fan touched it and lost the ap- peal. The milestone homer put him in elite Red Sox com- pany as only the second player in franchise history with 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases. Pedroia, who stole his 121st career base in the first inning, joins Carl Yastrzemski (452 home runs, 168 steals). Boston hadn't scored sincegettingapairofrunsin the second inning off starter DanStraily(1-2).GradySize- more led off with a double and scored on Pierzynski's single with one out. Jackie Bradley Jr. added a two-out double to drive in Pierzynski and Boston led 2-0. Bradley ended a potential rally for the A's in the eighth with a leaping catch at the center-field wall, then hit- ting Pedroia with a strong relay throw. Pedroia threw to Mike Napoli as Josh Don- aldson scrambled to get back after rounding second before seeing Bradley make the catch. Straily pitched 4 1/3 in- nings, allowing two runs on four hits. He struck out three and walked three. Notes: The series con- tinues this afternoon with Boston LHP Jon Lester (2- 4) scheduled to face Oak- land lefty Tommy Milone (0-2). .. Oakland played its first game in May after ty- ing the franchise record for wins in April at 18-9. ... Bu- chholz allowed 12 runs on 20 hits over 6 2/3 innings in his first two starts at Fenway Park this season. ... Bos- ton rookie SS Xander Bo- gaerts has reached safely in 14 straight games. ... Boston C A.J. Pierzynski played his 1,700th career game behind the plate. ... Pedroia could catch Yastrzemski's steal total of 168, but Yaz's 452 homers are probably out of reach for Boston's pesky second baseman.
