Dein erstes Forum » a sweep at Fenway on Sunday

Kevin Durant said his experience in Rio de Janeiro with Team USA provided a needed escape from the backlash he has received since leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder to sign with the Golden State Warriors.Durant scored 30 points Sunday in the United States?96-66 victory over Serbia in the gold-medal game. He told The Vertical that playing for his country helped to flip his script and change his role from villain to hero.It was therapy for me after making a big change in my life, Durant told The Vertical. It made my life easier ... I knew [a backlash] was coming.It was definitely different for me, but to come here in an environment where people accepted me and didnt care about anything except being my buddy, thats what I needed.USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo agreed that Durants Olympic appearance was a needed distraction for the All-Star forward, who signed in June with the Warriors on a two-year, $54.3 million deal with a player option after the first year.This was good for him. For his psyche, Colangelo said.Durant didnt dispute Colangelos diagnosis.I cant let anybody steal my joy, Durant said, presumably addressing critics of his free-agency decisions. [Former Thunder assistant and current Team USA assistant] Monty Williams used to tell me that every day; dont let anybody steal my joy.ESPNs Marc Stein contributed to this report.

Jack Mayfield Jersey . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No. BOSTON -- Josh Tomlin is just fine waiting another day to make his postseason debut.The Indians right-hander said he was treating Sunday as a regular off-day after rain washed out Game 3 of Clevelands AL Division Series against Boston. But instead of building on the success from the 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series, he will take the mound after both teams had extra rest.We had a few days off after the regular season, too, and we played two pretty good games in the ALDS, Tomlin said outside the visitors clubhouse at Fenway Park shortly after the game was postponed. So I dont know if it hurts our momentum or not.Sundays scheduled 4:08 p.m. start was called off around 2 p.m. -- long before the gates had opened or the starting pitchers had begun to warm up; it will be made up at 6:08 p.m. on Monday.Cleveland outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall said having two days off in a row was like a short All-Star break.You dont want to burn a starter trying to squeeze a start into a window, he said. You want to give a game a chance to get played with no things looming.Tomlin said he had gone through his usual pregame routine but hadnt gone to the bullpen to start throwing like he would before a start.Red Sox manager John Farrell said he would stick with Clay Buchholz for Game 3 but wouldnt commit beyond that. Boston reliever Brad Ziegler said the team was completely confident with Buchholz on the mound and the season on the line.Hes been throwing the ball great coming down the stretch and hes got World Series experience. Hes got playoff expperience, Ziegler said.dddddddddddd And if nothing else, maybe the day of rain gives everybody else a day of rest and gives us a chance to bring those guys back.The Indians won Games 1 and 2 at home, beating Bostons two best pitchers and setting the stage for a sweep at Fenway on Sunday. The rainout pushes that back one day -- at least -- and could extend David Ortizs career for another day as well.Indians manager Terry Francona said the Indians rotation is likely to stay the same for Games 4 and 5, if necessary. But now Game 1 starter Trevor Bauer would be back on the regular amount of rest on Tuesday.Corey Kluber can pitch in Game 5 -- or, if the Red Sox dont last that long, wait for AL Championship Series.In the Red Sox clubhouse, Ortizs son DAngelo waited dressed at his locker for his dad to leave with him -- maybe for one of the last times. Xander Bogaerts played cards with teammates. Sandy Leon spoke wearing a knit cap perfect for the cool weather ahead.With the rainout, the Red Sox could come back to 22-game winner Rick Porcello in Game 4 on the usual four days of rest. David Price would be lined up to start a decisive fifth game, leaving Eduardo Rodriguez as the odd man out.Rodriguez said he hadnt been told of the teams plans.I was going to be in the bullpen today anyway, being a starter, reliever or whatever, he said. Ill throw my bullpens and get ready for whatever they want me to do. ' ' '
