Theyve finally won in every mainland state, now the GWS Giants are looking to complete their first season sweep at their second home.The second-placed Giants win over Port last weekend was their first in six AFL matches in SA.That was the final state to fall to GWS, who broke their duck in WA earlier in the year at their seventh attempt.The Giants host Richmond on Saturday in their third and final match of the season at Manuka Oval, their secondary home venue behind Sydneys Spotless Stadium.GWS have played three matches a year in Canberra since their inaugural season in 2012, but have never managed to win more than two.In 2016 in the nations capital, they have beaten Geelong by 13 points in round two and smashed Port Adelaide by 86 two weeks later.They are on track to register their second sellout crowd of the season in Canberra, following the Geelong game.The Giants average attendances this season across both their home grounds, where they have won seven out of eight, are up to 12,593, from 10,786 last year.I think bit by bit awareness down there in Canberra at our second home is just growing every day, every week, every month ,every year, Giants coach Leon Cameron said.Another sellout this week just confirms that. We had one last year, were going to have two from three games this year. .We are really looking forward to getting down there, the atmosphere that it creates and playing some really good footy.Richmond have won all five of their games against the Giants, with West Coast, North Melbourne and Collingwood the only other teams GWS have yet to beat.The Giants play all those sides over the last five rounds, with the exception of Collingwood who beat them in Sydney earlier this month.Cameron is wary of a Tigers side he believes will be fired up by a calamitous last quarter performance last week against Hawthorn.He defended Tigers star Dustin Martin against some recent criticism, pointing to the fact the player had posted over 30 possessions in his last six games.He can play with us this weekend if hes getting that much ball, Ill take it any day of the week, Cameron quipped.I think hes playing-some really good footy. Hes had a terrific year. Nike Air Force 1 07 Australia .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the St. Air Jordan 1 Australia .

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Right now, Aron Baynes is probably best known for his samurai-style haircut.If Andre Drummond misses much more time, Baynes could become known for his rugged play.With Drummond sidelined by a sprained ankle, Baynes had 20 points and eight rebounds to help the Detroit Pistons beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-88 on Monday night.This was because of everyone else, Baynes said. They got me the ball in great position, and all I had to do is finish. They were drawing the defense and I was left with the easy part.Baynes came within a point of his career high and played tough defense on Steven Adams, who had just four points in 29 minutes.As the president of the franchise, I probably shouldnt promote my own players, Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said. But Aron is a starting center in the NBA. The only reason people dont know that is because weve got an All-Star ahead of him.The Pistons (6-5) improved to 5-0 at home despite being without Drummond and Reggie Jackson, who hasnt played this season due to knee tendinitis.Our defense at home has been great, Van Gundy said. Im not quite sure why we havent been able to duplicate that on the road yet, but were locked in at home.Russell Westbrook had 33 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists for Oklahoma City (6-5), which has dropped four in a row. Victor Oladipo finished with nine points, but he was the only other starter to score more than four.Im not worried about our offense -- thats fine, Westbrook said. It is our defense. Weve got to defend at a high level, and were not doing that.Andre Roberson, who finished with four points in 29 minutes, said the Thunders defensive struggles are being amplified by their inability to hit shots.This is a humbling moment for us, he said. Weve got to find a way to get past the lack of jump shots going in.Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 17 points for Detroit.The Pistons used their post players to build a 59-47 halftime lead despite Westbrooks 25 points. Oklahoma City missed nine of 10 3-point attempts in the half, and Oladipo went 1 for 7 from the floor.dddddddddddd Harris and Baynes each scored 13 points.Detroit led by as many as 19 in the third, but its reserves didnt have as much success as they had in the first half. The Thunder finished the quarter with a 13-2 run to trail 78-68.Despite Westbrooks best efforts, the Thunder couldnt put together a serious run down the stretch. On several occasions, he was able to pull defenders toward him and find an open teammate, only for them to badly miss the shot.TIP-INSThunder: Westbrook scored Oklahoma Citys last 14 points in the first half. ... Jerami Grant and Enes Kanter combined to hit nine of 16 shots in the first three quarters, helping keep Oklahoma City in the game. ... Westbrook picked up a technical foul in the first half for an accidental low blow against Caldwell-Pope.Pistons: Detroit is the last team in the NBA to be undefeated at home. ... With Drummond sidelined, the Pistons only grabbed one offensive rebound in the first half. ... Baynes got hit on his protective mask by Westbrook late in the fourth, and needed medical attention to stop the bleeding from his previously broken nose. Tonight was my last night with the mask, and it was good to have it on, he said.JUST TOO LATEWestbrook almost had 28 first-half points, but a replay review showed his 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer was still in his hand when time expired.BACK ON THE ROADAfter a four-game road trip, the Pistons were only making a brief stop at home. They play their next two games on the road before coming back to the Palace on Saturday.I thought this was an outstanding homestand, and I cant wait to get back on the road, Van Gundy joked.UP NEXTThunder: Return home to host the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.Pistons: Travel to Madison Square Garden to play the Knicks on Wednesday. Detroit beat the Knicks 102-89 on Nov. 1 behind 25 points from Harris. Carmelo Anthony led New York with 24 points. ' ' '
