LOS ANGELES -- With both teams winning on each others home courts, the WNBA Finals are headed to a decisive fifth game for the second straight year.And just like a year ago, the Minnesota Lynx will be at home with a chance to win a record-tying fourth title.They earned their third by beating the Indiana Fever last year. Now, theyll try to finish off the Los Angeles Sparks in the deciding game Thursday.We have created a tough place to play at Target Center. Im expecting 15,000-plus fans for Game 5, Lynx guard Seimone Augustus said. Theyre going to bring the energy and were going to bring the pain.The Sparks hurt themselves with turnovers in the waning minutes of an 85-79 loss in Game 4 on Sunday night.With Kobe Bryant and Sparks co-owner Magic Johnson watching courtside, Maya Moore scored 31 points and the Lynx dominated in rebounding and fast-break points to even the series.This is what a Finals game should look like, both teams leaving it all out on the floor, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said.Lindsay Whalen added 13 points, Augustus had 12 and Sylvia Fowles had 10 points and 13 rebounds for Minnesota.Chelsea Gray led the Sparks with 20 points off the bench. She was 6 of 11 and made all four of her free throws.Minnesotas defense clamped down on the Sparks powerful duo of Nneka Ogwumike and Candace Parker, whose stellar resumes are missing only a WNBA championship. They were held to single-digit scoring in the first half.Ogwumike, the league MVP, finished with 11 points on 5 of 10 shooting, while two-time MVP Parker had 14 points and made 6 of 7 free throws for the Sparks, who are seeking their first title since 2002.Los Angeles opened the series with a two-point victory at Minnesota. The Lynx responded with a 19-point victory in Game 2 before the Sparks returned home and rode a big first-quarter to a 17-point win in Game 3.Kristi Toliver, who finished with 15 points, expects the deciding game to be as unpredictable as the others.Its going to be a dogfight. Its going to be up and down. Its going to be physical, she said. Hopefully well learn from this experience of knowing how to close out a series.The teams have three days until Game 5, the longest rest of the Finals. The Lynx head home on Monday, while the Sparks depart on Tuesday.We didnt lack desire to win or a will. We competed hard enough, Sparks coach Brian Agler said. Weve just got to put that back together and play with more poise.The Sparks outscored the Lynx 10-4 to open the fourth quarter, tying it at 69-all on Parkers driving bank shot as she fell out of bounds. Los Angeles went 6 of 9 from the free throw line in that span.Whalen scored two straight baskets to put the Lynx back in front 73-69 on turnovers by Ogwumike and Toliver.Grays fourth 3-pointer drew the Sparks to 77-75.They were down 79-77 when Parker was called for a shooting foul on Rebekkah Brunson, who made both free throws for an 81-77 lead. Ogwumike scored once more to pull the Sparks within two before Moore sealed the victory with a pair of free throws.I dont know if were going to see the results on Thursday, but this game is really going to help us because its the first time this team has been in this kind of environment, Agler said. Of course were playing against a great opponent thats been there several times, and you could tell the difference in both teams. Going through this, I could just sort of tell from our facial expressions in the locker room, this was new for them. Cheap Fake Jerseys .

SOELDEN, Austria -- When Lara Gut starts the defense of her overall Alpine World Cup title on Saturday, she will be the first Swiss skier to do so in more than two decades.Not that it puts pressure on her.I dont think I have to defend something, Gut said on Thursday, two days before the season-opening giant slalom on the Rettenbach glacier.The title that I won, is last year. Now we all start at zero points again and its just a matter of winning races again.The previous skier from Switzerland to take the biggest prize in womens skiing was Vreni Schneider in 1995, successfully defending her title from the previous season.Gut downplayed the importance of the first race.My goal is to improve every day, I have to try to be as relaxed as possible, Gut said. There is always a lot of talk ahead of Soelden but this race is also worth just 100 points.She will be the only racer on Saturday who has won an overall title. Anna Veith, Tina Maze and Lindsey Vonn are all absent, for various reasons.Guts predecessor in 2014 and 2015, Veith, needs more time to recover from the knee injury that kept the Austrian away from the slopes last season.Known under her maiden name Fenninger until she got married in April, Veith returned on skis in June but has still been lacking muscle power for the World Cup.I felt that I dont have enough strength to put enough pressure on the skis, said Veith, adding she would spend next month mainly in the gym before returning to skiing in December.The 2013 champion also wont be a threat to Guts ambition as Tina Maze announced her retirement on Thursday. The Slovenian took a break from racing last season and said she will do only one last race -- on home soil in Maribor -- before quitting the sport.ddddddddddddSo, will Vonn again become Guts main challenger?The American, hunting her fifth overall title but first since 2012, was in a neck-and-neck race with Gut until damaging her left knee in a super-G crash in February, ending her season.Though fit and ready to race, Vonn declined the trip to the Austrian Alps as she planned to concentrate more on speed races and refrain from GS, like she also dropped the slalom from her schedule years ago.Ill be back on skis soon and training here at home, Vonn wrote on Facebook recently. Im disappointed I wont be there (in Soelden) but my goals for this season are focused more on downhill and super-g races.However, Gut might face fierce competition from Vonns American teammate, Mikaela Shiffrin, who agreed.Its the first season that I think its really possible, said Shiffrin, who has dominated slaloms in recent years and vastly improved in GS. Now she will add more speed events, not just super-G but even some downhills.We have to wait to get a good grasp where I stand, Shiffrin said. If I am skiing well in slalom and GS and have some good results in speed, it looks like I am a good contender.Calling it a huge dream, Shiffrin was quick to acknowledge many rivals have the same ambition.I want to keep everything in perspective, she said. There are a lot of girls that have that dream. There are probably 20 racers out there who have the potential to win the overall globe. ' ' '
