Nance sat out Saturday after being injured late in Fridays rout by the Toronto Raptors.Still, the Lakers (10-12) continue to carry a positive vibe with their surprising start.Having the injuries we had, it wouldve been easy to just give in (Saturday), said Lakers coach Luke Walton said after the loss to the Grizzlies, according to the Los Angeles Times. Our guys really competed and played hard. Down the stretch they got to a couple loose balls that turned into big plays. We had our chances. On the road in the NBA, thats really all you can ask for is to have a chance to win the game.Despite some key contributors ailing, the Jazz (12-9) have won five of their last six games. Their latest triumph was a 105-98 decision over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Utah almost blew a 23-point lead in the fourth quarter before securing the victory. Gordon Hayward scored 21 of his 32 points in the third quarter to pace the Jazz. It was the third straight game the 6-8 forward has topped 30 points.I found some energy after halftime, said Hayward, who leads the team in scoring at 22.8 points per game, according to DeseretNews. com. I think we really started to guard. I was able to get some easy shots, some open looks and then the basket gets a little wider when you knock down a couple in a row.Utah prevailed without point guard George Hill (toe) and forward Derrick Favors. Hill wont play against the Lakers, missing his third game in a row, but could return Tuesday night when the Jazz plays the Phoenix Suns.Hills production has been missed. He is scoring 20 points per game, second to Hayward.

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Chargers keep finding new ways to lose, which keeps alive the uncertainty surrounding coach Mike McCoys job status.On Sunday, rookie Drew Kaser botched the hold for a potential game-tying field goal late in a 34-31 loss at Oakland that dropped the Bolts to 1-4.It was the 10th straight AFC West loss dating to 2014 by the Chargers, who host defending Super Bowl champion Denver on Thursday night.McCoy, whose overall record is 24-31, says he hasnt been told by his bosses whether hell be coaching for his job Thursday night.The only time thats brought up is with you guys, he said during his Monday news conference. All Im worried about is the Denver Broncos.General manager Tom Telesco didnt immediately respond to a request for comment about McCoys status.The Chargers havent fired a coach during a season since canning Kevin Gilbride six games into the 1998 season. The Chargers also fired Don Coryell after eight games in 1986, the third year under owner Alex Spanos.San Diego is 5-16 since John Spanos, the grandson of Alex and son of team chairman Dean Spanos, was promoted to president of football operations. While McCoy has drawn much of the ire of Chargers fans, John Spanos and Telesco are increasingly coming under fire because of their roster decisions and the fact that they hired McCoy.John Spanos didnt return an email seeking comment on the state of the team.The Chargers are in a malaise. Theyve won only five of their last 21 games, and two of those were against Jacksonville. Theyve lost 11 of their last 12 road games and its been nearly 23 months since theyve won a division game.The Chargers implosion comes as Dean Spanos will ask voters on NNov. Shamar Stephen Jersey. 8 to approve an increase in hotel occupancy taxes to raise $1.1 billion for a new downtown stadium.Sundays loss saw a continuing problem, a critical lost fumble by Melvin Gordon, and a new one, a botched hold by Kaser. Kaser, a sixth-round draft pick, also shanked a punt that led to a touchdown that gave the Raiders a 10-point lead.Kasers botched hold came when McCoy chose to try a field goal rather than go for it on fourth-and-1 from the Raiders 18 with 2:07 left.McCoy said Kaser remains the punter but that the team will explore other options at holder.McCoy also said Gordon has to do a better job of holding onto the football.Hes got to protect the football. He knows that. Its an unfortunate situation, McCoy said. We put our team in bad field position. We did that a couple of times with our defense, whether it was a punt or turnovers, to put them on a short field.A week earlier, Gordon and receiver Travis Benjamin fumbled on consecutive plays to give the Saints the opening they needed to rally from 13 down to beat the Chargers 35-34.You cant put the ball on the ground, McCoy said. The last two weeks its been on the ground too many times.Many Chargers fans were angered at images of kicker Josh Lambo laughing with Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski right after the game.McCoy said he had a talk with Lambo, and that Lambo spoke with some teammates Monday.Hes got to learn from it, McCoy said.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
