CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Tobias Harris said once the Orlando Magic had a lead, they didnt want to give it up. Hard to blame him given the way things have gone in recent weeks.That has been a killer for us — having the lead and not sustaining it, Harris said.Orlando led for the final three quarters and withstood a career-high 42 points from Kemba Walker to beat the Charlotte Hornets 102-94 on Saturday night.Nikola Vucevic had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Harris scored 21 points and the Magic beat the Hornets for the second time this season in Charlotte.Victor Oladipo scored 13 points, Evan Fournier had 12, and Ben Gordon and Elfrid Payton each had 11 for the Magic (12-21) in a balanced scoring attack.In the past, we havent been able to hold on to the lead, Vucevic said. They made some runs but they never made the big run to tie the game and we were able to hold them off.Walker scored a Charlotte-record 35 in the second half and finished 15 of 30 from the field with five 3-pointers. Its the seventh time in the last 10 games Walker has scored at least 20 points.I had a career night, a great game but it just wasnt enough, Walker said. ... Our problem wasnt offensively, it was defensively. We didnt execute our game plan on defence and they crushed us.Hornets coach Steve Clifford wasnt happy with his teams overall effort, outside of Walkers performance that he called phenomenal.He can be a cornerstone player for teams that go deep into the playoffs because of his competitiveness, Clifford said. He just has a competitive spirit that is contagious to me. He played 42 minutes back-to-back and did not want to come out (of the game). He kept us in the game.The Magic led 52-42 at halftime after outscoring the Hornets 28-18 in the paint.Walker had 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting in the third quarter, but the Hornets werent able to cut into Orlandos double-digit lead until late in the game.Charlotte got within six with 30 seconds left, but Walkers 3-point attempt from the top of the key rattled out.Vucevic added two free throws with 22 seconds remaining to help seal the victory.Vucevic was the key for Orlando.He stepped out and knocked down jump shots early against Al Jefferson, forcing the Hornets to guard him. When they did, he found teammates in the passing lanes and helped open up the offence.I feel like Ive always been a good passer and can read the defences pretty well, Vucevic said. The last two games, whenever Ive caught it, defences make moves and people cut and I find them going to the basket. Im just trying to find the open spaces.Jefferson, who is battling a groin injury, had 14 points and nine rebounds after being held to four by Oklahoma City on Friday night.___TIP-INSMagic: Harris has scored in double figures in all 31 games he has played this season, the longest streak of his career.Hornets: Lance Stephenson missed his sixth straight game with a groin injury.

Nicklas Backstrom Jersey . -- Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer will be out three to six weeks with a stress fracture of the third finger of his right hand.In an effort to restart collective bargaining talks with the CFL, the Players Association submitted a new four-year offer to the league Monday, TSN learned Monday night. The unions new offer included reductions on several financial proposals from ones made in its previous offer made last week. But the league swiftly rejected the new numbers, pushing the players closer to considering a work stoppage. In a memo obtained by TSN, the players financial proposals included a $5.2 million salary cap in 2014 ($4.8 million minimum) that grew to $6.0 million ($5.4 million minimum) after four seasons. Minimum salaries would start at $50,000 dollars in 2014, and grow to $53,000 by 2017. Last week, the players offered a $5.8 million salary cap that would grow 3% annually. But the crux of the unions financial recommendations was a "Revenue Protection Clause" created to set a threshold to renegotiate the salary cap if the CFLs aggregate revenues drastically increased. In the third year of a new deal, the players would want to renegotiate the cap if league revenues increased $12 million from the previous year. In the players newest offer, the threshold would be set at $18 million. The union also revised pension contributions ($4,000 per player and $4,000 per club), and "Compensation for Veterans for Increase in Salary Expenditure Caap" set at $8,500 for veterans and $1,500 for rookies.dddddddddddd And the union maintained its desire to discuss other points, including practice times and numbers of contact practices, and salary protection and medical treatment if players are injured late in season. At the beginning of the memo the Players Association describes its offer as "more favourable." Last week, the CFL offered a $5 million cap and a threshold to reopen discussions on the salary cap limit if league-wide revenues increased by $27 million from the previous year, also in the third season of a new CBA. Hours before the current CBA expired, commissioner Mark Cohon called it the leagues "final" offer. The CFL has evidently not moved from that position, and quickly rejected the players offer. "[The CFL] indicated that they see no point in meeting unless we are prepared to accept their offer," reads the Players Associations memo. "It is obvious to your Negotiating Committee that notwithstanding our effort to resolve this matter, the only possible way of convincing them that they should reconsider their position will be with a work stoppage." The Players Associations memo closes by stating players will be advised what the unions next move is once strike ballots from Calgary and Edmonton are counted.
