HELSINKI, Finland -- Slovakia defeated the United States 4-1 and the Czech Republic routed Norway 7-0 in group finales for both teams to reach the quarterfinals at the ice hockey world championship on Tuesday. The U.S. had a chance to clinch the group, but will finish second or third, meeting Russia or Finland in a quarterfinal on Thursday. In Stockholm, the other group leader, Switzerland, defeated Belarus 4-1 to achieve its best group record at the worlds, seven wins and no losses. The Swiss hope to win a medal for the first time since 1953, when they were third among three teams. Julian Walker scored twice, and Roman Josi and Mathias Bieber once each. Switzerland won its group, followed by Canada, Sweden and the Czechs. Slovakias Branko Radivojevic was handed a free score after only 15 seconds when U.S. goaltender Ben Bishop turned the puck over, trying to reach a teammate with a pass. Martin Bartek, 3:44 in, and Rene Vydareny made it 3-0 for last years runner-up with Rastislav Stana making only 20 saves. Danny Kristo replied for the U.S. in the second period, and Marko Dano added a late empty-net goal. "We were hopeful and excited about the opportunity to try to finish first. We were not able to do that but we will be ready for the next opponent," U.S. coach Joe Sacco said. "The first two goals were unfortunate, its tough to play catch-up. Slovakia made a good job of bottling up the middle of the ice and they protected the front of the net very well. We had a hard time getting there, and when we did their goalie came up big." The first goal was strange. Bishop went behind the net to pick up the puck and play it to a teammate. He hit the stick of Slovakia forward Tomas Kopecky and the puck went to Branko Radivojevic, who was left with an open net. "The first one bounced right out in the slot from behind the net. The second one I got to but it just squeaked through," Bishop said. "Just unlucky goals. Otherwise I think we played a good game, but the other goalie played well. We could have scored five easily. Its a shame we didnt win." For the Czechs, Tomas Fleischmann showed the way with goals in the second and eight minutes. In a game without great significance, Christian Ehrhoffs second goal was an overtime winner as Germany beat France 3-2. Both teams quarterfinal hopes were dashed by Slovakias earlier victory.

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. The Memphis Grizzlies have become the masters of winning close games and games that reach overtime. Memphis also has mastered the Philadelphia 76ers recently.Memphis has won eight straight over the 76ers and would certainly enjoy getting an easier win on the second night of a back-to-back when the teams meet Tuesday night at FedEx Forum.Memphis is 10-0 in games that have been decided by five points or reached overtime. The latest was Mondays 110-108 double-overtime thriller in New Orleans.Marc Gasol scored 28 points and hit the game-tying 3-pointer with seven seconds left in regulation and the game-winning 17-footer over Anthony Davis with 1:15 left in the second overtime. Troy Daniels added 29 points on seven 3-pointers as the Grizzlies improved to 14-8 this season.People keep talking about it, but most of our games are close, Gasol said. I cant remember a blowout. We feel comfortable in those situations because we trust our defense and we dont panic.One of the Grizzlies other overtime games was a 104-99 double overtime win in Philadelphia on Nov. 23. In their latest win in the series, the Grizzlies rallied from an 11-point deficit as Mike Conley nearly had a triple-double of 25 points, nine rebounds and nine assists.Conley shot 3 of 17 when Philadelphia last beat the Grizzlies on Dec. 26, 2012 in Memphis. He played in seven games against the Sixers since but will miss his fifth game since injuring his lower back.Andrew Harrison has started for Conley and scored 12 points but shot 3-of-13 Monday, creating the need for big production from Daniels. Daniels has scored 69 points and hit 16 3-pointers in his last three games.Were just trying to find any way to win, Daniels said. Were just trying to scratch and crawl and win.The Sixers will be content if it is a close game, especially if they win. Philadelphia is winless since Nov. 21 and the collapse to Memphis two weeks ago began a seven-game losing streak.Four of those losses have been by single diigits and in each of those close losses, the Sixers have held a double-digit lead at some point.ddddddddddddThe latest instance was Mondays 106-98 home loss to the Denver Nuggets. Philadelphia held a 10-point lead in the second quarter but wilted after halftime by shooting 38.5 percent and committed 14 of its 19 turnovers.Joel Embiid had 16 points and five blocked shots but in the second half, the rookie center was 3-of-10 and committed three turnovers.Were used to seeing Joel have superhuman nights, Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said. It looked like his balance was off, and there were times where there were hands on balls (by defenders). Its just part of a young mans growth. I dont think we need to read too deeply into it.Embiids next chance to rebound from the rough second half will not be Tuesday. Since he is coming off missing two seasons following a pair of foot surgeries, Embiid has rested on the second nights of back-to-backs and in other instances.Philadelphia is 1-6 when Embiid has sat. The last instance was Saturdays one-point loss to the Boston Celtics when Jahlil Okafor scored 15 points as the starting center.Okafor did not play Monday due to an illness and will not play Tuesday.Without Embiid and Okafor, Richaun Holmes along with Ersan Ilyasova and Dario Saric will serve as Philadelphias primary big men.You get thin real quick, Brown said prior to Mondays game. Isnt it funny how life changes? First you have too many bigs. Now you dont have any. When we talk tomorrow, were going to look around and not have a lot of bigs.Besides Okafor, Robert Covington (left knee sprain, flu symptoms) and Jerryd Bayless (left wrist ligament) did not play and will not be available Tuesday.With our group, when you have no Jahlil, no Covington, theres just zero margin for error for whatever we are talking about, Brown said.
