PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Hedo Turkoglu nailed a 3-pointer over
Thaddeus Young with 1.1 seconds to lift the Orlando Magic to an
84-81 victory over Philadelphia last night. It evens the Eastern
Conference first-round series at two games apiece. The series
resumes Tuesday in Orlando.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Better learn
to deal with them. As the Penguins' Game 6 comeback in Philadelphia
showed, any team that expects to beat them without effectively
controlling two of the NHL's best players probably has little
chance of succeeding. Pittsburgh won the series, 4-2.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Another season ended early for the
Philadelphia Flyers when they were knocked out in the first round
of the Eastern Conference playoffs Saturday by the Pittsburgh
Penguins in six games. Of the four major pro teams in the city,
only the NFL's Eagles have a longer championship drought - 49
years.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Ross Ohlendorf pitched into the eighth inning
and Adam LaRoche hit two home runs, lifting the Pittsburgh Pirates
to an 8-3 win over the San Diego Padres yesterday. Pittsburgh
continues its road trip with a three-game series against the
Milwuakee Brewers beginning tonight.

MIAMI (AP) - Jamie Moyer pitched six solid innings and the
Philadelphia Phillies extended the Florida Marlins' skid to six
with a 13-2 victory yesterday. Moyer allowed one run and seven hits
to improve 12-1 against the Marlins overall. The Phillies begin a
three-game set against Washington tonight.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Hines Ward has finalized his five-year
contract extension with the Steelers, a deal that should allow the
two-time Super Bowl winner to finish his career in Pittsburgh. The
$22 million extension, signed yesterday, runs through the 2013
season, though the 33-year-old Ward may not play that long.
