David Stockton didnt take long to prove his worth for the New Zealand Breakers and coach Paul Henare expects things will only get better.American point guard Stockton was a slick, impressive performer in his first NBL game for the Breakers, playing his part in a comprehensive 100-85 win over the Illawarra Hawks.Less than a week after arriving to replace the injured Ben Woodside, Stockton showed he will be a key cog, Henare said.Hes just got a good way about him. He looks like a baller, he looks like a hooper, Henare said.David came in and showed some pace, he offered something a little bit different and shared the ball around really well.The son of former Utah Jazz NBA great John Stockton, the 25-year-old showed some of the hallmarks of his father with a team-first mentality.Stockton nevertheless finished with a team-high 17 points, with eight-from-11 shooting.Henare noted Stockton still finished with four turnovers and found himself trapped a couple of teams when double-teamed.Its a good start for him and Im sure hes going to get better. He wont be happy with the turnovers.Stockton doesnt have long to fine-tune, with the third-placed Breakers (5-4) facing the fifth-placed Hawks (4-5) again, in Wollongong on Sunday.They will again be without centre Rob Loe, who has suffered a toe injury which is expected to keep him sidelined for about two weeks.Adidas NMD Rabatt . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers.

NMD Rea .Y. -- Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus head.OAKLAND, Calif. -- Having battled three tough games with the American League East leaders and with a four-game war with the Wests best coming up later this week, the AL Central-leading Cleveland Indians got a breather in a three-game series with the Oakland Athletics that begins Monday night.Right-hander Carlos Carrasco will seek to improve upon his already impressive road numbers when he duels As rookie Andrew Triggs in the series opener.The Indians arrive in Oakland having won eight of their last 11, including two of three in a tense series with the Blue Jays over the weekend.All three games were decided by one run, with the Indians gaining the upper hand Sunday on Jose Ramirezs two-run homer in the eighth inning.Ramirez is one of the hottest hitters in baseball. He has reached base at least once in 27 straight games, during which hes hit .377.For whatever reasons, hes able to come through in those spots more often than not, Indians pitcher Corey Kluber gushed of Ramirez after Sundays dramatics.

He takes an 0-1 record and 4.98 ERA to the mound, having pitched a total of 21 games this season.The As are coming off a 1-5 trip to Texas and Chicago, during which tempers flared on Friday after a 9-0 win over the White Sox.Billy Butler and Danny Valencia reportedly scuffled out of reporters view in the clubhouse.
