CHONBURI, Thailand - Former champion Lee Westwood was relieved to card a 1-under-par 71 in windier conditions to trail Thailand Championship leader and English countryman Tommy Fleetwood by one shot after the second round on Friday.Westwood had five birdies against four bogeys in rough he called brutal, and considered he played well at Amata Spring Country Club. The 2011 champ was at 3-under 141, tied with Marcus Fraser of Australia (72).Making his debut in the Asian Tour event, new leader Fleetwood shot 69, spoiled only by a bogey on the fourth hole.U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer was at 3 under for the tournament after 13 holes, but bogeys on the 14th and finishing hole dropped him to 1-under 143 and into a tie for sixth with Thai No. 1 Thongchai Jaidee (71), and American Paul Peterson (72).Defending champion Sergio Garcia (75) and two-time Masters winner Bubba Watson (70) were at 2 over.

Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic .Y. - The Buffalo Sabres reassigned forward Sam Reinhart to the WHLs Kootenay Ice on Friday.MINNEAPOLIS - Before the season, Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks declared that Russell Westbrook was the best point guard in the NBA.Since returning from a broken hand, Westbrook is backing up that boast.Westbrook scored 20 of his 34 points in the first half and the Thunder beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 111-92 on Friday night for their fifth straight victory.Hes a walking triple-double, Kevin Durant said of his teammate. He passes as good as any point guard. He scores better than any point guard. He rebounds better than any point guard. He plays defence better than any point guard. I dont see what the debate is.Durant added 16 as he and Westbrook played the second night of back-to-back games for the first time since returning to the Thunder lineup.While his coach and star teammate were talking him up after the win, Westbrook kept his head down and focused on the Thunder using another win to get back to where they were before all the injuries.Slowly, but surely, Westbrook said. Trying to take care of business.Andrew Wiggins and Shabazz Muhammad each scored 18 points for Minnesota, which hung around in the second half after allowing the Thunder to score a season-high 70 in the first half.I was happy we finally competed, but it took us a long time to really compete, which was disappointing, Wolves coach Flip Saunders said.Steven Adams scored a season-high 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City has won 18 of its last 21 games against Minnesota. ... Ibaka and Adams shot 7 of 8 and scored 15 points in the games first seven minutes.Timberwolves: PG Mo Williams missed his fifth game with back spasms for the beat-up Wolves. ... Muhammad played through a lingering ankle injury. ... Brewer had four steals, the third straight game hes swiped at least three.RUBIO REHABBINGSaunders said that PG Ricky Rubio is now using an anti-gravity treadmill to rehab his injured ankle. He could test the ankle on land by the middle of next week. You can see he really wants to get back, Saunders said. Weve got to hold the reins on him a little bit.DURANTS MINUTESBrooks said he hasnt talked with Durant about when and how the MVPs minutes might be bumped up from around 30 per game. He understands its the process of him coming back, Brooks said. Hes doing a great job.BUSY TRAINING ROOMSAbout a third of the way through the season, Thunder and Wolves players combined have missed 153 games because of injury.UP NEXT:Thunder: Hosts Phoenix on Sunday.Timberwolves: Host the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
