Virginia coach Tony Bennett installed a new play late last month for end-of-game situations, but he didn't have much confidence in. Maybe Malcolm Brogdon was saving himself for a big moment. ''I guess it's better to make it in a game.'' Brogdon came off screen and drained a 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds remaining to lift the visiting Cavaliers a 48-45 victory. The play is designed for either Brogdon or Joe Harris, the team's top 3-point shooter.

Whitehaven 24, Gateshead 16: Haven overturned a 16-0 half-time deficit to preserve their pre-season unbeaten record.

PETALING JAYA: A lengthy 12-month ban and a RM8,000 fine – that’s the punishment most likely to be meted out on the high-ranking Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) official if he is found guilty of assaulting a T-Team player during their FA Cup second round match at the Larkin Stadium on Saturday.

Mikael Backlund believes he is finally living up to the Calgary Flames' expectations. The 24-year-old forward scored two goals, including the winner 2:25 into overtime to give the Flames a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night. Backlund aggressively took the puck to the net and sent a pass to Sean Monahan, whose shot was stopped by goalie Darcy Kuemper. The puck bounced high, and Backlund batted it in from out of midair.

Dan Ellis learned a few things about the Anaheim Ducks' top scorers during 1 1/2 seasons as the team's backup goalie, and he put all that knowledge to work in a breakthrough victory for the Dallas Stars. Ellis made 26 saves against his former team in his 14th career shutout, and Trevor Daley scored in the Stars' 2-0 victory over the Ducks on Saturday night. Ellis played in 23 games as a backup in Anaheim from February 2011 to 2012, but did his best work while absorbing innumerable shots in practice from Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Teemu Selanne. Ellis used that familiarity throughout his second victory over the Ducks this season, even denying Perry's point-blank chance in the final minute by getting an outstretched pad in front of an open net.
