(SportsNetwork.com) - The San Antonio Spurs welcomed a familiar face back and will try to continue their momentum Sunday night when the Utah Jazz come to AT&T Center. Kawhi Leonard, the reigning NBA Finals MVP, returned after a 15-game absence due to a torn ligament in his right hand and scored 20 points Friday night to lead the Spurs to a 110-96 home victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Hes going to play aggressive and create stuff for us, Spurs guard Tony Parker, who finished with 17 points and seven assists, said of Leonard. Danny Green deposited 19 points and Patty Mills added 18 points off the bench for San Antonio, which has won two in a row and four of its last five. Manu Ginobili had 13 off the bench and Tim Duncan recorded a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds. San Antonio led by as many as 12 in the second quarter before taking a 60-52 lead at the break. Then it took over in the third and cruised to the victory in the fourth. The Spurs will visit the Denver Nuggets and Chicago Bulls, starting Tuesday. The Jazz halted a three-game slide with a 94-85 home victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. The triumph not only ended the rut, but it also put the brakes on a three-game home losing streak. Gordon Hayward tallied 31 points and seven assists to lead the Jazz past the Kobe Bryant-less Lakers. Hayward shot 12-for-18 from the floor, 4-for-7 from behind the arc and made all three of his free throws. The Jazz finished 10- for-10 from the stripe as a team. Trey Burke added 20 points and Derrick Favors posted 18 and 10 rebounds for Utah. We turned the ball over a little bit more than we wanted to, but for the most part we played really good on defense, which allowed us to get some easy buckets in transition, Hayward said. Were athletic and we can finish on the break so anytime we can get going in transition that is a good thing. The Jazz led by three late in the fourth quarter when a technical foul led to six straight Utah points. Nick Young was handed the violation, and Hayward hit the ensuing free throw. Favors turned it into a three-point possession with his reverse layup, and Hayward potted a 3-pointer on the next trip. Utah then locked in on defense, forcing a shot clock violation. Just under two minutes later, Hayward put the game away with his short bank shot. The Jazz beat the Spurs by four in Salt Lake City on Dec. 9. That win stopped a five-game series losing streak, but the Spurs have taken nine straight as the host in this series, including the postseason. In fact, the defending NBA champions are 32-2 versus the Jazz in San Antonio. Utah won both meetings in the Alamo City in the 2009-10 season, but hadnt won there prior since Feb. 28, 1999.

He went 27 of 37 for 361 yards to become the NFLs fifth player with 60 300-yard games.Im not sure really, historically, Brady said. I have a lot of respect for this team. They play hard every time we play them. I think we just come out on the winning end. Its good to be on the winning end.Brandon LaFell scored on 17- and 56-yard passes less than six minutes apart in the fourth quarter. Tim Wright and Brian Tyms also caught touchdowns. The Patriots defence forced three turnovers and New England never trailed.And it doesnt seem to matter whos signing the Bills checks.Brady and the Patriots dominated their AFC East rival under the tenure of late Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson, who died in March. On Sunday, they spoiled the Bills new era under Terry and Kim Pegula, the Buffalo Sabres owners who completed their NFL-record $1.4 billion purchase of the team last week.The Patriots (4-2) gained sole possession of first place in the division in moving ahead of the Bills (3-3). And they did so by beating Buffalo for the sixth straight time.Its frustrating, Bills tight end Scott Chandler said. Theyve been the top dog in our division since the division was formed.LaFell, a newcomer in New England, isnt surprise by the lopsided edge Brady has enjoyed over Buffalo.Hes a winner, man, said LaFell, who had four catches for 97 yards. That guy comes out every week and puts us in a situation to win games.And so much for questions about Brady being over the hill and the Patriots being vulnerable. Coming off a 43-17 win over Cincinnati, New England has won two straight since being blown out 41-14 at Kansas City on Sept. 29.I dont pay attention to that noise, receiver Julian Edelman said.The Bills failed to build on the momentum of a thrilling come-from-behind 17-14 win at Detroit a week earlier. They let down a soldout crowd that was on its feet, chanting TERR-RRY! TERR-RRY! as Pegula and his entiree family were introduced at midfield during a pregame ceremonyOnce the game began, Buffalos offence was sloppy, and its defence uncharacteristically porous.ddddddddddddKyle Orton went 24 of 38 for 299 yards with touchdown passes to Robert Woods and Chris Hogan. But he threw an interception and lost a fumble in his second start since taking over for EJ Manuel. Running back C.J. Spiller also lost a fumble, with the three second-quarter turnovers leading to 13 New England points.Ive got to be better with the football, Orton said.The Patriots took control on their drives before and after halftime. New England went up 13-7 on Stephen Gostkowskis 53-yard field goal to close the second quarter. Then the Patriots opened the third with the ball, and Brady efficiently capped a six-play, 80-yard drive with a 43-yard pass over the middle to Tyms, who outmuscled cornerback Stephon Gilmore and came down with the ball in the end zone.Hogans 8-yard touchdown catch and Woods 2-point conversion pulled Buffalo within 30-22 with 5:58 remaining. But facing second-and-12 at his own 44, Brady hit LaFell up the right sideline for a touchdown to clinch the victory.The Patriots overcame injuries to several starters. Linebacker Jerod Mayo did not return after hurting his knee in the first half. Running back Stevan Ridley did not come back after injuring his right knee in the third quarter. Guard Dan Connolly also sustained a concussion.Patriots coach Bill Belichick said all three players would be evaluated, but specifically referred to Mayos injury as a little bittersweet.NOTES: Brady is two 300-yard passing games shy of matching Brett Favres total. It was also Bradys 16th career game with four or more touchdowns and no interceptions. ... Chandler led Buffalo with six catches for a career-high 105 yards, becoming the teams first tight end to surpass 100 yards since Pete Metzelaars had 113 on Sept. 13, 1992. ... Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski had seven catches for 94 yards, but an 18-yard TD was nullified in the fourth quarter by a holding penalty against guard Jordan Devey.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
