TENNIS ATP Barcelona Open Early Round: 4:30a.m., TENNIS. Ontheair of victory celebration that a champion of the Boston Marathon should have," Fleming said. "Lelisa, we want you to get your due today." Desisa was in the lead- ing pack for the entire race, pulling away to beat coun- tryman Yemane Adhane Tsegay by 31 seconds in the first 1-2 finish for Ethi- opia in the race's history. Kenya's Wilson Chebet was third, another 34 seconds back. Dathan Ritzenhein of Rockford, Michigan, was the first American, in sev- enth. Keflezighi finished eighth a year after his victory — the first for an American man since 1983 — gave the city a tangible symbol of its comeback. "I was crying on Boylston Street, because it was bringing up mem- ories, good and bad," said Keflezighi, who wrote the names of the bombing vic- tims on his race bib last year. "People were cheering like crazy, saying 'U-S-A!' I was chanting with them." The 2004 Olympic silver medalist, who will turn 40 next month, was among the leaders until the 35-ki- lometer mark, when he took a drink of water that went down the wrong way. He had to stop five times to vomit. As it did last year, the crowd encouraged him to go on. A few hundred feet from the finish, he sprinted to catch up to one of the female stragglers, grab- bing her hand and cross- ing alongside her. "It was an amazing op- portunity for us to finish together," Keflezighi said. "Hopefully, it will be a memorable experience for both of us." Boston FROM PAGE 1 Cat, a winner of $2.3 mil- lion. Ben's Cat has won 22 stakes to date, including four graded events. Lava Man posted a ca- reer record of 17-8-5 from 47 starts with earnings of $5,268,706 and won seven Grade 1 races, more than any other California-bred in history. Lava Man won the Hollywood Gold Cup three straight times (2005- 07), matching a feat Hall of Famer Native Diver ac- complished from 1965 to 1967, and won back- to-back runnings of the Santa Anita Handicap in 2006 and 2007. Other sig- nificant wins included the Pacific Classic, Califor- nian, Sunshine Millions Classic, Charles Whitting- ham Memorial Handicap, Goodwood Breeders' Cup Handicap and Sunshine Millions Turf. His victory in the Whittingham in 2006 made Lava Man the first horse since Vanland- ingham 21 years earlier to win a Grade 1 on both dirt and turf in the same year. Xtra Heat, the Eclipse Award winner for Cham- pion 3-Year-Old Filly in 2001, was bred in Ken- tucky by Pope McLean's Crestwood Farm and sold as a 2-year-old for $5,000 at Maryland's Timonium sale to trainer John Salz- man Sr. and partners Ken Taylor and Harry Deitch- man. She compiled a ca- reer record of 26-5-2 from 35 starts and had earnings of $2,389,635. Xtra Heat won 25 stakes races, 10 of which were graded events. The four will be in- ducted during a ceremony Aug. 7 at the museum in Saratoga Spring. Racing FROM PAGE 1 son said. "We wish him nothing but the best, and the entire staff nothing but the best. They gave us some outstanding work, and we will support where they go and what they can do, be- cause they are good men." McLellan had a 311-163- 66 regular-season record with the Sharks, the third best in the league since he took over before the 2008- 09 season. But San Jose fin- ished 12th out of 14 teams in the Western Conference this season and missed the postseason. McLellan, who won a Stanley Cup as an assistant in Detroit, got off to a suc- cessful start in his tenure in San Jose, winning the Presidents' Trophy as the top regular-season team in 2009. But the Sharks fell in the first round of the playoffs to Anaheim in another postseason disap- pointment for a franchise full of them. The Sharks then made back-to-back trips to the conference finals the next two seasons, but won one playoff series in McLellan's final four seasons. "There were a lot of good things we did here," McLellan said. "We put up like six or seven banners in the building. We're re- ally proud of that." Sharks FROM PAGE 1 The Corning Cardinals (5-9, 0-4 NAL) lost, 12-4, on the road against Las- sen on Friday. Both the Spartans and Cardinals resume play to- day against Enterprise and Central Valley, respectively. Mercy (4-6, 3-1 Five Star League) beat Los Molinos (3-6, 1-3 FSL), 13-1, at home on Friday. The Warriors' Bryce Baer went 3-for-5 batting with two home runs and eight RBIs. So ball The Corning High School varsity softball team (11-5-2, 2-1 NAL) fell to Red Bluff and Fortuna on Saturday by scores of 4-3 and 4-0, respectively. Against Red Bluff, Corn- ing's Sophia Oliverez went 2-for-3 batting and scored two runs. Candace Muller and Kimmy White each batted in a run apiece.

Roundup FROM PAGE 1 By Jon Krawczynski The Associated Press While LeBron James and his star-studded supporting cast were firing away at un- derdog Boston in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference playoff series, the small- est guy on the court for the Celtics was putting up the biggest fight. In the first playoff game of his career, 5-foot-9 Isa- iah Thomas went right at the mighty Cleveland Cav- aliers. He led Boston with 22 points and 10 assists in the 113-100 defeat, and rep- resents the overmatched Celtics' best chance to make this a series. Here's a look at the three NBA playoff games Tues- day: CELTICSATCAVALIERS,CAV- ALIERSLEAD1-0 All the in- trigue at the start of the se- ries centered on how LeB- ron James' supporting cast — namely, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving — would re- spond to their first playoff experience. After a frantic start, James told an assistant coach during a timeout that they just needed to take a deep breath. "They've never experi- enced this before," James said with a smile. Once they settled down, the Cavs took off. Irving scored 30 points and Love had 19 points and 12 re- bounds in the 113-100 vic- tory. Now that they have that first one under their belts, the Celtics really have their work cut out for them. "It's like a company," Thompson said. "You have your janitor, your CEO. You have your secretaries," said Thompson, who said his job is to bring energy as a re- serve. "I don't mind being the cleanup guy, punching the clock. I'll do all the lit- tle things." WIZARDS AT RAPTORS, WIZ- ARDS LEAD 1-0 One game into the series and the Rap- tors have already lost home- court advantage after drop- ping the opener in overtime in front of their rowdy fans. "The pressure is on us to come and produce in Game 2," coach Dwane Casey said. "Anytime you lose a game you kind of put the monkey on your back." The Raptors shot just 38 percent in the opener and starting point guard Kyle Lowry fouled out after scor- ing seven points on 2-for-10 shooting. But a lot of the fo- cus was on James Johnson, a rugged defender who did not play in Game 1. As Wizards veteran Paul Pierce scored 20 points and made 7 of 10 shots, Raptors fans started chanting "We want James!" in hopes he could put Pierce in check. But Casey didn't play him, "It's not a backup quar- terback controversy," Casey said. "James has been in this role the whole year. There's going to be a time and place for him in the playoffs." MAVERICKS AT ROCKETS, ROCKETS LEAD 1-0 The Mavericks lost Game 1, and may have lost one of their key players as well. Forward Chandler Parsons was run- ning gingerly on the knee that kept him out of the fi- nal six games of the regu- lar season. Parsons scored 10 points on 5-for-15 shooting and is listed as questionable for Game 2. He did not prac- tice on Monday. "There may not be an up- date until right before the game when we submit all of our stuff," coach Rick Carl- isle said. "That's where we are right now."
