ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Guillaume Latendresse scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period after getting three assists, boosting the Minnesota Wild to a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins Monday night. Sidney Crosby scored his 28th for Pittsburgh, which also got goals from Pascal Dupuis and Mark Eaton.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Andre Iguodala and Elton Brand scored 18 points each, Allen Iverson added 16 and the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a four-game home losing streak with a 96-92 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Monday night. Thaddeus Young and Lou Williams added 12 points each and Samuel Dalembert had six points, 14 rebounds and five blocks for the Sixers.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Scottie Reynolds scored a season-high 36 points, including a game-clinching layup in the final minute, to lead No. 4 Villanova past Louisville 92-84 on Monday night. Reynolds made 9 of 10 from the field, including all five of his 3-point attempts, as the Wildcats (15-1, 4-0 Big East) snapped a three-game losing streak to the Cardinals (12-5, 3-1).

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Donovan McNabb will be back for a 12th season in Philadelphia. That was the word Monday from Eagles coach Andy Reid as he squelched speculation about McNabb's future. The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback's status was questioned because he
has one year left on his contract and he's failed to lead Philadelphia to a Super Bowl victory in 11 seasons.

CLEVELAND (AP) - New Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren continued the team's makeover on Monday by hiring Tom Heckert away from the Philadelphia Eagles. The 42-year-old Heckert will be the Browns' new general manager after spending eight years with the
Eagles, the past four seasons as their top personnel executive.

SOMERVILLE, N.J. (AP) - Former NBA star Jayson Williams took responsibility for accidentally shooting his limousine driver to death eight years ago by pleading guilty Monday to assault. The 41-year-old former 76er and New Jersey Net agreed to serve at least 18 months in prison the 2002 death of Costas Christofi at Williams' New Jersey home.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Little League plans to add a new baseball age division this year largely in hopes of keeping more children and teens involved in the game. The pilot program for 12- and 13-year-old players is designed to ease the transition to playing on professional regulation-size fields with pitching distances of 60 feet, 6 inches, and base paths of 90 feet.
