HOUSTON -- Following a news conference to introduce two new Houston Rockets, Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon, the team stunned reporters by announcing leading scorer James Harden signed a contract extension on Saturday.The extension, which runs through the 2019-20 season, is worth $118.1 million, according to multiple sources. Harden, who had two years remaining on his original deal with the Rockets, received raises of $26.5 million for 2016-17 and 28.3 million for 2017-18.In the last two years of the deal, Harden will make base salaries totaling $63.1 million.Hell be around here for a while, Rocket owner Leslie Alexander said. I dont think people appreciate how great he is, but we certainly do.Last season, Harden, in leading the NBA in minutes, had career-average-highs in points (29) and assists (7.5), while playing in 38.1 minutes per game. Harden also had 12 games with 40 or more points and had 18 games where he finished with double-digit assists.Anderson and Gordon expressed wanting to play with Harden, whom they believe will help elevate the Rockets beyond the 41-41 record they compiled last season.When the season ended, Harden said he would be an active participant in the recruiting of free agents and he sat in on meetings for Anderson and Gordon last week.Ever since I stepped foot in Houston, theres been nothing but love and support from Les and (GM) Daryl Morey and the front office. Its truly like a home to me. Im happy to be here another four years and a lot of great things are going to happen. Its been progress, its been a buildup and the addition of our new signings and a couple of other pieces, some really good things are going to happen next year.The Rockets officially signed Anderson and Gordon on Saturday afternoon in their attempts to upgrade the roster. Anderson is a stretch four that fits well in new coach Mike DAntonis system and Gordon is a strong offensive player, who DAntoni said will mesh well with Harden.Ryan and Eric are two players that are perfect for what we need to get back to Rockets basketball and our winning ways, Morey said.We didnt have a great year last year, Alexander said. We still made the playoffs but we didnt have a great year and it didnt end well. We needed new blood. We needed shooting and we needed guys who are passionate about the game and we got them.Of course it starts with Harden and outside the Toyota Center a huge sign on an adjacent parking lots listing the legendary centers who played for the Rockets was being taken down, a shooting guard was starting to take over.This is home for me, Harden said. Whatever it takes we try to build and find ways to get better and thats my focus and thats my priority. Mark Stone Jersey .

MANCHESTER, England -- With his team 1-0 down and toiling against Arsenal, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola slipped and tumbled to the ground in the technical area after kicking the ball back into play.Guardiola got back to his feet, dusted himself down and gestured to his team to keep going.On a day of recoveries in the English Premier League, City answered its coachs call.City scored twice in a stirring second-half performance to rally to a 2-1 win over Arsenal in a match between two teams battling to stay in sight of in-form league leader Chelsea.After Leroy Sane equalized in the 47th minute, Raheem Sterling scored the winner in the 71st minute when he collected a stunning cross-field ball from Kevin De Bruyne, cut inside and drove a low finish in at the near post.City moved into second place and back to within seven points of Chelsea, which has won 11 straight games to take control of the title race nearly halfway through the season.Seven points is still a huge distance from a team who made 11 wins in a row, Guardiola said, who urged his team to be there as much as possible and wait for (Chelsea) to fail.Tottenham also rallied to a 2-1 win after falling behind early to Burnley. Danny Rose grabbed the winning goal -- in the 71st minute, like Sterling -- to leave fifth-place Spurs a point behind Arsenal, its north London rival. Arsenal is nine points behind Chelsea.In the days early game, Southampton recovered from falling behind in the sixth minute to beat Bournemouth 3-1, with striker Jay Rodriguez scoring twice.Heres a closer look at Sundays games:---MANCHESTER CITY 2, ARSENAL 1Arsenal squandered a lead to lose 2-1 for the second time this week -- and just like against Everton on Tuesday, Arsene Wenger blamed his players second-half tiredness as well as the referee.The referees are protected like lions in the zoo, the Arsenal manager said, having complained that both of Citys goals should have been disallowed for offside.Sane canceled out a fifth-minute goal from Theo Walcott by racing onto David Silvas pass -- potentially from a marginal offside position -- to slot past Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech. Wenger also felt Silva was offsside, and in Cechs line of vision, when the goalkeeper was beaten by Sterlings low shot.ddddddddddddGuardiola preferred to talk about the exceptional pass from De Bruyne that set Sterling free for the winner, which meant City has come out of a tough spell -- capped by a chastening 4-2 loss at Leicester last weekend -- with two straight victories this week.We are learning little by little, said Guardiola, who has been criticized by some for not adapting his tactics to the Premier League.---TOTTENHAM 2, BURNLEY 1Burnley manager Sean Dyche was aggrieved that Tottenham substitute Moussa Sissoko was still on the field to set up Rose for his winning goal.Moments before playing in Rose, Sissoko had been booked for a high challenge on Stephen Ward.It was a blind challenge, a high challenge and simply a red card, said Dyche.Burnley took the lead against the run of play at White Hart Lane through Ashley Barnes in the 21st minute, but conceded a strike by Dele Alli six minutes later.It was Spurs fourth win in their last five games in all competitions---BOURNEMOUTH 1, SOUTHAMPTON 3Rodriguez has been looking for a performance to kick-start his career since returning from a long spell out with damaged knee ligaments.Two second-half goals to cap a comeback at Bournemouth might just be it.Rodriguez scored from close range in the 48th, then fired in a dipping shot from the edge of the area in the 85th to triple his goal tally for the league campaign.Rodriguez had just forced his way into Englands squad when he sustained a cruciate knee ligament injury in April 2014 that ruled him out for more than a year. He had a poor 2015-16 campaign as he recovered from the injury, and had been below Charlie Austin in Southamptons pecking order of strikers before Austin hurt his shoulder this month.With Austin potentially out for up to four months, Rodriguez might have a prolonged run in Claude Puels team.Nathan Akes header put Bournemouth in front in the sixth minute, before Ryan Bertrand equalized in the 14th. Southampton climbed to seventh. Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping China NFL Gear Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Jerseys Jerseys From China ' ' '
