The NBA season reached something of a calendar milestone on Thursday with Thanksgiving coming and going.Most teams have played about 15 games to this point and statistics and standings are beginning to settle in as identities get formed. The grind of the season will separate teams and the Playoff races begin to take shape.Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the NBA season gets set fully on its course.The Orlando Magic (6-10) know that. At least their veterans do.Forward Jeff Green senses his team needs a little urgency in the final game of a three-game homestand, on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, before taking its first long trip of the season.We have to correct things now, Green said after Wednesdays loss. We can continue to say its still early, but we have to come to a point where we have to fix it now in order for us to be there in the end.We have to go back to the drawing board, but Friday we have to fix it. For me, thats a must win. And we must win Sunday.The Magic did not quite fix things Friday against the Washington Wizards. They came out flat on both ends and fell 94-91 at home, needing a 19-point comeback to make it a game.Perhaps November is not the time to take too much of a focus on the standings. The Magic are only 1.5 games out of the final spot in the Eastern Conference.But offensive struggles have given the Magic plenty of pause and concern for the rest of their season. They are struggling to score even 90 points per game.The games keep coming. And they all count the same when it comes to the year-end Playoff races. And that could make Sundays game against the Bucks all the more important.The Bucks (6-8) are still in the thick of the early Playoff race too. And they have dealt with their own inconsistent play.Milwaukee has started to hit its groove this season. Even coming off a 105-99 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday, the Bucks feel confident about their play and their chances.I thought we had this game today, swingman Giannis Antetokounmpo said. They just made tough shots down the stretch. They made some threes. If we played the game again, they could miss those shots. As a team, we saw a lot of good things.Now we move forward to Orlando. Im not putting pressure on my teammates, but if we go with the same mentality and the same focus we had tonight, we can get that game.Antetokounmpo recorded his first triple double of the season against the Magic on Monday. His play was crucial to the Bucks coming back in that game and racing ahead at the end for the close win.Having defeated the Magic earlier in the week in Milwaukee, Sunday represents an opportunity to score a decisive victory over a team they might compete with in the standings when March and April roll around.The Magic and Bucks have split their season series each of the last three seasons. Both rebuilding teams are trying to find their fit in the early Eastern Conference race. And Sunday represents a chance for one to get the leg up on the other before things begin to get serious.Jeff Mathis Jersey . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. Whitey Herzog Rangers Jersey .

Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The more assets the Patriots lose this season, the better they seem to play.New England entered Week 3 of Tom Bradys four-game Deflategate suspension down to just one healthy full-time quarterback following backup Jimmy Garoppolos shoulder injury last week against Miami.But not even one of the NFLs top-ranked defenses could slow down a Patriots train that has barely missed a beat while getting off to a 3-0 start.The latest exhibition was a 27-0 dismantling of the Houston Texans (2-1), a team that suddenly looked very pedestrian.We really asked a lot out of the team this week -- they responded, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. Just really proud of the way our guys competed.Belichick rolled the dice by not adding another quarterback to the roster during the short week, and the trust he had in rookie Jacoby Brissett proved to be spot on .Brissett began the season as the third-string quarterback behind Brady and Garoppolo. He trotted out on the field Thursday as the first rookie start for the Patriots since Drew Bledsoe in 1993.He didnt have a stats-rich game, but was composed and made plays when it counted. He finished the night 11 of 19 for 103 yards, and ran eight times for 48 yards and a touchdown.You just always want to be ready and we have a great team, so players just welcome you no matter who is in the huddle, Brissett said. At any moment in the game no one wavered, no one flinched, and the results proved themselves with what our team did tonight.Under Belichick, quarterbacks are 6-0 in their first career start.The Patriots have 10 days to recuperate, with only a game against Buffalo (0-2) on Oct. 2 remains before Brady could inexplicably return to a 4-0 team.Meanwhile a Texans team that looked so promising after wins over Chicago and Kansas City, was lethargic in all three phases.But Houston coach Bill OBrien said its much too early to panic.Losing is horrible. I mean its absolutely horrible, he said. There is nothing really in my mind that comes out good, but what I will say is that there is a resilient team in that locker room. These guys work hard. ...There is a lot of season left. We havent even played a division game.GRONKS DAY: Rob Gronkowski finally made his 2016 debut after sitting out the first two weeks of the season nursing a sore hamstring. He wasnt his normal self by any means. He played 14 snaps and was targeted just one time. It was the first time he appeared in a regulaar-season game and went without a catch.ddddddddddddI got to get my feet wet, he said. It felt great just to get out there. I blocked the whole time, but it feels great just playing football again.WATTS UP?: J.J. Watt was a non-factor one a week after he had 1 1/2 sacks and seemed to be on his way back to the form that won him the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award last season. Watt assisted on just two tackles in the game, and the Texans were only able to sack Brissett once in the game, for a loss of 6 yards.They never really put him in a situation where he had to be throwing the ball too much, Watt said. They did a great job at the run game, and did a great job all around and he played well being in a tough situation.Watt is 0-5 (including one playoff game) against the Patriots, recording only a 1/2 sack in those contests.VERY SPECIAL TEAMS: Belichick has always been a stickler about special teams. It paid off big time on Thursday. New England forced and recovered two fumbles on Texans kickoffs that led to 14 points. Brandon Bolden forced the first one in the first quarter, which was scooped up by Duron Harmon on Houstons 22 to set up Brissetts touchdown run. Later in the third quarter Nate Ebner forced another fumble that was recovered by Jordan Richards on the Texans 21. It set up a 1-yard score by LeGarrette Blount.GROUND GAME: Blount has scored touchdowns in all three games this season. He ran 24 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns, including the 41-yarder in the fourth quarter to give New England a 27-0 lead Thursday. Its the third time in his career he has had back-to-back 100-yard games, and the first time since 2011. Blount also had a 1-yard TD run in the third quarter.LEAPING WITH LAMBEAU: With the win, Belichick tied Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame coach Curly Lambeau for fourth on the NFLs all-time list with 226 regular-season victories.You know how much respect I have for Curly Lambeau and what he accomplished in his great career, but really todays not about me, Belichick said. This is about our team. ... I wouldnt really want anything to deflect the credit that they deserve for what they accomplished tonight.Up next is Tom Landry (270), with George Halas (324) and Don Shula (347) atop the list.---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower ' ' '
