Portland, OR (SportsNetwork.com) - Klay Thompson is quickly proving he is worth every penny of his recently signed four-year contract extension. Thompsons runner in the lane with 8.7 seconds left gave the Golden State Warriors the lead for good in a 95-90 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. Thompson, who signed a max extension worth a projected $70 million on Friday, scored a career-high 41 points in Saturdays win over the Los Angeles Lakers, then kept the momentum going with his clutch bucket on Sunday, which gave him 29 points. LaMarcus Aldridge scored the final 10 points for Portland, the last two on a jumper that gave the hosts a 90-88 lead with 2:01 remaining. Andre Iguodala split a pair of free throws with 26.3 seconds left before the Warriors forced a turnover of Wesley Matthews. Matthews grabbed the inbounds pass and a pair of Warrior defenders swarmed him. He lost the ball and it rolled out of bounds, with the officials awarding possession to the Blazers. But after a replay review, the call was overturned. We anticipated them trapping, Blazers coach Terry Stotts said of the play. I dont know if they fouled (Matthews) or not. Coming out of timeout, Thompson ran the baseline, rolled up the block, received a crisp pass from Iguodala and converted the running jumper that essentially won it for the visitors. Portland then got sloppy and turned it over two more times in the closing seconds and Stephen Curry sealed it at the line with four free throws. Curry supplied 21 points with six assists for the Warriors, who are 3-0 for the first time since beginning the 1994-95 season with five straight wins. Leandro Barbosa came off the Golden State bench to score 13 points and Andrew Bogut added 11 points and 12 rebounds. Aldridge scored 26 points with 13 rebounds and Robin Lopez added 12 points and 10 boards for Portland, which dropped its second straight contest. Damian Lillard managed just 11 points on 4-of-18 shooting in the setback. Well it certainly is a disappointing loss, said Stotts. It was a good basketball game. I was disappointed that we lost the game. Thompson picked up right where he left off on Saturday by scoring 15 points in the first quarter to help the Warriors to a 30-22 lead after 12 minutes. Matthews scored nine of his 18 points in the second period to help the Blazers trim the deficit to 51-48 at the break. Will Bartons high-arching jumper gave Portland its first lead since the opening minute with just over a minute left in the third. However, Festus Ezeli answered with a jumper and the teams entered the final quarter tied at 68-68. Game Notes The Warriors finished 26-56 in 1994-95 ...

Post time is 5:38 pm.MONTREAL - Anthony Calvillo was hailed as one of the CFLs all-time greats as his No. 13 banner went up on the wall at Percival Molson Stadium on Monday afternoon.The leagues all-time passing leader, who retired after 20 seasons in January, had his jersey retired in a ceremony at halftime of the Montreal Alouettes 40-9 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.The crowd of 23,069 stood and cheered as Calvillo climbed onto a stage on the field with his wife Alexia, daughters Athena and Olivia and other family members. He was greeted by three teammates from his early years — quarterback Tracy Ham, running back Mike Pringle and fullback Bruno Heppell.He was the greatest quarterback the CFL has ever seen, Ham told the crowd.Calvillo is the 10th Alouette to have his number retired and the first since Pringle.These names are part of history and Ill be part of that history now, said Calvillo.His favourite receiving target, Ben Cahoon, was among a group who had recorded messages played on the scoreboard, including NFL passing leader Brett Favre, former Alouettes safety Barron Miles and Hall of Fame offensive tackle Uzooma Okeke.Favre told Calvillo Congratulations on a wonderful career. Well done, my friend.Calvillo, 42, announced his retirement after missing the second half of the 2013 season with a concussion suffered in a game against the Roughriders.He went out as the leagues all-time passing leader with 79,816 yards, including seven seasons of more than 5,000 yards. He threw for a career-best 6,041 yards in 2004.He also holds career CFL records for pass attempts (9,437), completions (5,892) and touchdowns (455), with only 224 interceptions.The Los Angeles native won three Grey Cups and was named the leagues outstanding player in 2003, 2008 and 2009.Calvillo is expected to join the Alouettes coaching staff in some capacity next season.Right now, the focus is on the Alouettes, he said. Ill be concerned with my future when the seasons over, but it will be in coaching and it will be here in thiis amazing city.ddddddddddddAn extended intermission saw the stage rolled onto the field for the 25-minute ceremony.The Alouettes players left their locker-room early to watch the end of it. They seemed to respond to the emotion of the day as they ran over the Roughriders in the second half, while newcomer Jonathan Crompton improved to 5-1 as a starter.Jonathan Crompton is winning, said Calvillo. Theres too high expectations on quarterbacks.It is difficult and challenging to win week in and week out. In his limited time, hes done a lot for himself and his team by winning games. Its encouraging.Luckily for me, I had Tracy there (when he joined the Alouettes in 1998). Not everything was on my shoulders. I had two years to learn how to be a consistent quarterback.Pringle told the crowd he hoped to return in a few years when Calvillo will certainly get into the hall of fame.Like all young players, we gave AC a hard time, but I saw a will to be out there on the field and a will to win and fight to be the best he could be, said Pringle. Thats what I wanted from the people around me more than anything else.Calvillo began his CFL career in 1994 with the defunct Las Vegas Posse and moved the next season to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.He signed with Montreal in 1998 to be Hams backup and took over the starting job in 2000.Ham said Calvillos success came from talent and hard work.Some call me his mentor, but I give Anthony all the credit, said Ham. I was just one of his teammates.I just passed on what was given to me about the CFL game from Damon Allen and Danny Barrett and Matt Dunigan. The Alouettes used the 13th of October to retire Calvillos jersey, following the lead of the Montreal Canadiens, who have matched the jersey with the day number in recent retirement ceremonies.Calvillos joins Virgil Wagner (78), Herb Trawick (56), Sam Etcheverry (92), Hal Patterson (75), George Dixon (28), Pierre Desjardins (63), Peter Dalla Riva (74), Junior Ah You (77) and Pringle (27) on the wall.
