Brazilian police and a vocal home crowd conspired against Australias womens footballers in their gut-wrenching exit from the Olympic Games, the Matildas believe.The Australians were knocked out of the Rio Games by host nation Brazil, losing a tense penalty shootout 7-6 on Friday night (Saturday AEST) in a quarter-final in Mineiro.Defender Alanna Kennedy missed her spot kick, giving the Brazilians victory, but the Australians are frustrated that Brazils goalkeeper Barbaras illegal moves off her line in the shootout werent detected by referees.It was an unfair advantage, midfielder Elise Kellond-Knight said.Even in our pre-tournament meeting with the referees, they highlighted that they would be searching and looking and keeping an eye out for goalkeepers moving off the line.Its just disappointing that they actually didnt see that during the penalty shootout but that is a fact of football.We didnt do what we could have and put pressure on the referee, thats a disappointing aspect of our game.Having 60,000 people screaming and pro-Brazil support does make a little bit of pressure for the referee.Winger Samantha Kerr said Canadian referee Carol Chenard may have been intimidated by the crowd.On the bench we noticed the first one but we scored it, so we were like `if she missed they would have retaken it but that wasnt the case on the last one, Kerr said.I dont think there was any talk of retaking it.I dont think even if the referee thought, she probably wouldnt have called it with the pressure of the crowd.But thats football, it happens all over the world.You could call up 1,000 games where that has happened ... Im sure the crowd probably had a little bit of an impact on the decision.The Australians were also frustrated by Brazilian police when leaving the team hotel.After the Brazilian team bus left, the Australians were kept waiting about five minutes by police before departing.You just question Brazilian police looking after us, what is really going on? Kellond-Knight said.Its just little games like this but were all professionals, we know how to deal with it. Serge Savard Jersey . -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf. Ales Hemsky Jersey .

LOS ANGELES -- The improved Los Angeles Lakers play host to the San Antonio Spurs in a matchup of two of the NBAs top offensive teams and best defensive clubs on Friday night at Staples Center.The Spurs (9-3) are riding a four-game winning streak after a 110-105 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. Ex-Laker Pau Gasol led the way for San Antonio with a season-high 24 points and nine rebounds. Gasol will face his former team for the first time in a Spurs uniform.The Lakers (7-5), who have won three of their last four games, will face an obvious and early challenge against the Spurs, annually one of the leagues top teams. After dropping consecutive contests to the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets at home more than a week ago, the Spurs responded with consecutive wins over the Detroit Pistons, the Rockets, the Miami Heat and the Kings.Were connecting with each other better, moving the ball better, said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who is tied with Larry Brown for seventh on the all-time NBA list for regular-season coaching victories at 1,098. Were improving.The Spurs are 6-0 on the road and have captured the last five contests against the Lakers, going 4-0 last season. Ball movement and contributions from several players sparked the Spurs recent surge.Forward Kawhi Leonard, again an early MVP candidate, is averaging 25 points per game and 2.4 steals (third best in the league). LaMarcus Aldridge is scoring 17.8 points per game and hitting 54.5 percent of his 3-point attempts.Were at our best when we move the ball, when we makee the defense work and we find the open guys, Gasol said.dddddddddddd We get much better shots that way, and it pays off. It creates a flow and energy that carries over to the defensive end.The Spurs average 101.9 points on offense (19th in the NBA), but their defense is holding opponents to 96.8 points (fourth).The Lakers have emerged as one of the leagues top scoring teams. Los Angeles is ranked second in scoring at 110 points per game, trailing only the Golden State Warriors (117.4 points).Point guard DAngelo Russell scored a season-high 32 points and forward Julius Randle contributed a triple-double with 17 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists Wednesday in a 125-118 win over the Brooklyn Nets.The Lakers bench has been another strength, averaging a league-best 50.6 points. Reserve guard Lou Williams has been one of the main sparkplugs with a 15.6 scoring average.They have been great all year, so obviously were not going to complain about them, but even before the (Brooklyn) game I said I think the reason that they have so much success is because of how unselfish they play as a group, Lakers coach Luke Walton said of his reserves.Both clubs are among the leaders in 3-point shooting percentage. San Antonio is ranked second at 39.2 percent per game, with Los Angeles is tied for third with Golden State at 37.4 percent.The Spurs will be without center Dewayne Dedmon (left knee sprain), who is not traveling with the team.
