Touchdown, Bears. The NFC champions arrived by charter plane to begin Super Bowl preparations, beating AFC champion Indianapolis to Miami by more than 24 hours. With the game still six days away, the Colts have plenty of time to catch up. But Bears coach Lovie Smith was glad to be the first team in town, especially when a balmy breeze greeted him as he stepped off the plane Sunday.

Bengals receiver Chris Henry was released from jail Saturday after completing a two-day sentence for letting minors drink alcohol in a hotel room he had rented. Henry's guilty plea and two-day sentence settled the last of his four court cases. He has been arrested four times in the last 14 months. As part of his two most recent convictions, Henry must avoid using alcohol and drugs.

Now more than halfway to a once-thought-untouchable record, the Phoenix Suns aren't focused on their winning streak. Steve Nash simply won't allow it. Nash scored 23 points and kept Phoenix's high-energy offense purring with 15 assists as the Suns extended their winning streak to 17 games -- the NBA's longest in seven years -- by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 115-100 on Sunday.

Michael Finley was often the No. 1 option in his 8 1/2 seasons with the Dallas Mavericks. It's a different story in San Antonio, where he comes off the bench and is well down the list. But Finley got the ball with the game on the line Sunday as the Los Angeles Lakers swarmed Tim Duncan, and his 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds left in overtime gave the cold-shooting Spurs an improbable 96-94 victory.

Chris Webber doesn't play like Ben Wallace. He doesn't even play like the young Chris Webber. That doesn't mean he isn't helping the Detroit Pistons. Webber joined his hometown team earlier this month and the move has rejuvenated Rasheed Wallace and the rest of the Pistons. Webber and Wallace combined for 37 points, 20 rebounds and eight blocks Sunday to help coach Flip Saunders pick up his 500th...

Antawn Jamison knew the Washington Wizards were primed for a letdown, especially coming off their biggest win of the season and facing the slumping Boston Celtics. "Our Achilles' heel is that we'll fare well against the pretty good teams in the league -- we'll beat Dallas one day, then lose to the Bobcats," Jamison said.

With Sam Cassell knocking down 3-pointers and Elton Brand controlling the inside, the Los Angeles Clippers had a very easy, relaxed Sunday night. Cassell scored 21 points in just 19 minutes, and Brand added 22 as the Clippers routed the Seattle SuperSonics 98-76. Cassell was so good -- hitting all five of his 3-point attempts -- that the 37-year-old veteran rested the entire second and fourth...

With the Milwaukee Bucks leading by two with 28 seconds left, Mo Williams didn't want to give the charging New York Knicks another chance. "I told myself, "I'm going to take the shot and if I do miss it, they aren't going to have a lot of time left," Williams said. "I had to set it up right." Williams had 30 points, including an awkward, 20-foot jumper with 3.1 seconds left, and 10 assists to lift...

Roberto Luongo likes to stay busy in goal. San Jose's biggest mistake may have been obliging him early. Luongo made 32 of his 38 saves in the first two periods, keeping Vancouver in the game before two quick goals sparked the Canucks to a 3-1 win over the Sharks on Sunday night. "They were throwing everything at the net, but at the same time that sometimes gets me in a groove and makes me feel...

Jean-Sebastien Giguere refused to blame the Anaheim Ducks' recent skid on injuries to himself and defensemen Chris Pronger and Francois Beauchemin. Now that they're all back, there are no excuses. Andy McDonald scored twice and Teemu Selanne had a goal and an assist, leading the Ducks to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday.

Dominik Hasek had an easy game one day before his 42nd birthday. Hasek stopped 11 shots to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-1 Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak. "That was my lowest amount of shots in a long time," Hasek said. Pavel Datsyuk and Tomas Holmstrom each had a goal and an assist and Kirk Maltby also scored for the Red Wings.

The Chicago Blackhawks' NHL-worst power play finally came through. Denis Arkhipov's second goal of the game, on the power play at 2:53 of overtime, lifted the Blackhawks to a 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Sunday and snapped Chicago's 10-game losing streak. "It's a big win for us," Arkhipov said.

Antero Niittymaki is looking forward to his next game against the Atlanta Thrashers. Jeff Carter scored two goals, including the game-winner with 1:02 remaining, as the Philadelphia Flyers snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Atlanta Thrashers on Sunday. It was also Philadelphia goalie Niittymaki's first win since a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Nov.

The New York Islanders caught the Buffalo Sabres at the right time. Randy Robitaille scored with 3:09 left in regulation to help rally New York to a 5-3 victory over Buffalo on Saturday night. Robitaille picked off a clearing attempt on the left side and launched a 45-foot slap shot that got past a screened Ryan Miller to give the Islanders their first win at home since Dec.

The Nashville Predators can do no wrong against the St. Louis Blues. Martin Erat and Steve Sullivan scored two goals apiece to lead the Predators to a 6-3 victory over the Blues on Saturday night. Nashville beat St. Louis for the sixth time this season -- and 14th straight overall -- with the first five victories this season coming by one goal, including three in overtime.

Another game, another highlight for Sidney Crosby. Crosby scored on a backhand shot as he fell to the ice and added three assists, and Mark Recchi also had a goal and three assist, to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 7-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night. With the Penguins holding a two-goal lead early in the third, Crosby gained control of the puck near the inside of the edge of...
