Andy Murray is ready to enjoy some well-earned downtime after his 22-match winning streak finally came to an end in Cincinnati.Since losing the French Open final to Novak Djokovic, world No.2 Murray has won the Aegon Championships, his second Wimbledon title, and a second Olympic gold medal after defeating Juan Martin del Potro in a gruelling four-set, four-hour final in Rio.The 29-year-old Scot flew directly from Brazil to Cincinnati to contest the Western & Southern Open, which he won in 2008 and then 2011.Shunning the effects of jet lag, he beat Juan Monaco, Kevin Anderson, Bernard Tomic and Milos Raonic without too much trouble to set up a final showdown with Marin Cilic on Sunday.It was the Croatian who emerged victorious, however, with former US Open champion Cilic winning 6-4, 7-5 to claim his first Masters title.But Murray -- the latest member of the 600 Club having reached the ATP World Tour match-wins milestone against Anderson -- was not too downhearted.He told the elite circuits official website: Im very proud of this week. Obviously today it didnt go how I wouldve wanted. I certainly didnt expect to get to the final when I arrived here.I had some pretty good wins along the way. Today there were tough, tricky conditions with the wind.I think if I got off to a better start maybe could have done a bit better. I had a break point in his first service game and 0-30 in his next service game.I was pretty much behind from that point on and it was tough. Its a very, very positive week. Im looking forward to a few days rest now.Cilic was battling against fatigue, too. His semifinal showdown with Grigor Dimitrov finished at 1.35am local time Sunday, and he had a lie-in to recuperate.I went to sleep around 4am and woke up a little bit before 11am, he said. That was enough to recover.I felt that I played really good tennis today. The serve was a big factor in my game. I was hitting a lot of big serves in important points, and I was definitely very mentally strong in that second set.Andy was starting to play a bit better, but its definitely a huge win against him. Hes been on a great run the past couple of months. Wholesale Custom White Sox Shirts .

The build up around the first encounter between Oklahoma Citys Russell Westbrook and Golden States Kevin Durant was humongous. It was easily the biggest game of the early NBA season.The hype dwarfed the actual play on the court as the Warriors rolled to a 122-96 victory over the Thunder on Thursday in Oakland.Oklahoma City must quickly regroup and prepare for a young, talented Minnesota Timberwolves squad Saturday at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Tip-off is set for a rare 5 p.m. central start.After starting the season 4-0, to have their first defeat come in such a noncompetitive manner was not a pleasant experience for the Thunder.I understand you guys like, its the Warriors, Westbrook told the Oklahoman. They won. Its fine. But were OK. Were 4-1. Its one game. We play on Saturday. So, simple as that.Besides Westbrook, Steven Adams, Enes Kanter and Andre Roberson, the rest of the teams key performers are new to the level of intensity needed for that type of game. That showed in the second quarter, when the second unit looked rattled during a 19-1 run that blew the game open. Some of the newest members of the team were unable to respond.Its going to be a great learning experience for some of the younger guys who had a chance to play, Oklahoma City coach Billy Donovan told NBA.com. We had the one difficult stretch there, a good portion of that second quarter, where we gave up some threes in transition and gave up some threes on second chance points.Minnesota is coming off a 102-99 loss to Denver Thursday that featured a letdoown in the third quarter in which the Timberwolves were outscored 33-14 in the third quarter.dddddddddddd They trailed by 13 heading into the fourth quarter and never quite got back on top despite Karl-Anthony Towns spearheading a late run.That third quarter is just haunting us right now, Minnesota guard Andrew Wiggins told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. I dont know what it is. I dont know whats happening. We just cant keep coming out like that after halftime. But were going to figure it out.The Timberwolves held a 12-point lead in the first quarter, marking the third time this season they owned a double-digit advantage but lost the game.It seems like we keep having half the puzzle done, Towns told the Star Tribune, and we dont finish the puzzle.Towns had 32 points and 14 rebounds while draining a pair of 3-pointers against the Nuggets.Towns versatility will provide the Thunder front line of Steven Adams and Enes Kanter a much different challenge than they faced in their two previous games against Golden State and the L.A. Clippers.Conversely, the Timberwolves are going to have to face an upset and energized Westbrook. The Thunder point guard, who had been averaging a triple double, was held to 20 points, 10 assists and six rebounds in only 29 minutes of action Thursday.Well get ready for the next game, man, Westbrook said. Its one game, one loss for us. Well move on, get ready for the next one. ' ' '
