HOUSTON -- Montreal looked to be headed for its first victory in Houston in five tries after taking a lead early in the second half. But in a three minute span, that all changed. Two goals by Giles Barnes and the go-ahead goal by Ricardo Clark turned back the Impact in a 3-2 Dynamo victory Saturday night. "We had momentum, and we needed to keep the ball a little bit more, dont force it," said Montreal coach Frank Klopas. "We were under control, and we lose momentum at times when we could be better with our decision making. "I think a lot of positives, but disappointing that we give up three goals and lose a game that I think we should have walked away (from) with points." Klopas also blasted the officiating for what he thought should have been a late hand ball in the box on Houston. Marco Di Vaio was passing the ball to Dilly Duka in the box in the 88th minute, and the ball appeared to deflect off Houston defender A.J. Cochrans hand, but referee Fotis Bazakos did not blow the whistle to award Montreal a penalty kick. "In the end, we had a clear penalty at the end of the game," Klopas said. "With this referee, I dont know if its because hes Greek, and I am Greek or if we dont get any calls because we are Montreal but something has to change. We need to start getting some calls. "Im not saying to give us calls, but clear 100 per cent, and its not given. The league has to do something about that. Its embarrassing." Duka agreed with his coach on the call. "They got a ton more calls than us, a lot more," Duka said. "I didnt see many go our way. Again, thats not what cost us the game." Montreal (5-15-5, 20 points) took a 2-1 lead in the 55th minute on a goal by Ignacio Piatti. Di Vaio fed a through ball to Piatti, who got behind three Dynamo defenders and scored from the top of the box past a sliding tackle from Houston goalkeeper Tyler Deric. Houston (9-13-4, 31 points) responded with Barnes second goal of the night in the 62nd minute, taking a cross from Omar Cummings in the middle of the box and hitting a left-footed one-timer inside the far post. Barnes put the Dynamo up 1-0 in the 30th minute. "Its difficult," Duka said. "A team like Houston will punish you. They have some quality players, and if you turn off, they are going to punish you." After Cummings sent one off the crossbar in the 64th minute, Clark gave the Dynamo the 3-2 lead, tapping in a Brad Davis corner kick on the far post after David Horst headed it to him. "When you give up three goals, you have to look at yourself in the mirror," Montreal defender Wandrille Lefevre said. "Three goals is too much. You usually lose when you give up three goals." Montreal tied it 1-1 in the 40th minute after Duka took a pass from Felipe Martins at the top of the box and sent one inside the far post. The Impact had a chance to continue their recent momentum. Entering winners of two of the last three, Montreal left Houston dropping its second in its last three and ninth in its last 11. Montreal remains the worst team in MLS. "We scored two goals, and we should have won," Klopas said. "Clear hand ball in the end and disappointed with the ref. Montreal Impact, we never get any calls. Its a joke."

Tensions rose in the first period when Penguins defenceman Brooks Orpik hit Bruins forward Loui Eriksson with what appeared to be a clean hit.NEW YORK -- Jason Collins started walking from the bench to the scorers table, fans rising out of their seats all around Barclays Center. He committed a foul five seconds after entering. His only shot barely hit the rim. Collins performance may not have been pretty, but everything else was great. Collins played the final minutes of a winning home debut with the Brooklyn Nets, who cooled off the Chicago Bulls with a 96-80 victory Monday night. "It was cool. It was a lot of fun to go into the game," Collins said. "The most important thing was that we got the win. Chicagos been playing really well as of late and for us to come out and really be -- I think we played more physical than they did tonight." Finally playing at home more than a week after returning to the NBA as the leagues first openly gay player, Collins checked in to a standing ovation from a sellout crowd of 17,732 that included former NBA Commissioner David Stern with 2:41 remaining. He grabbed a rebound and had one of the Nets NBA season high-tying 19 steals in their third straight victory. Deron Williams scored 20 points and Joe Johnson had 19 for the Nets (29-29), who got back to .500 for the first time since they were 2-2 after beating Utah on Nov. 5. D.J. Augustin scored 16 points off the bench for the sloppy Bulls, who turned it over 28 times, leading to 30 Nets points, and had their four-game winning streak snapped. The Bulls had a franchise-low three turnovers in their 109-90 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday and had won nine of 10. But the Nets were too good in this one, building a series of comfortable leads and making the only intrigue down the stretch whether Collins would get in during his first home appearance for the Nets since Jan. 29, 2008, against Milwaukee in East Rutherford, N.J. A chant of "Jason Collins! Jason Collins!" broke out while Williams was shooting a free throw with the Nets leading 90-73 with 3:27 remaining. Fans finally got their wish less than a minute later -- though not because coach Jason Kidd was listening to them. "No, the game was out of hand, so I wanted to get those guys some rest," he said. "D-Will was shooting free throws. Couldnt put Twin in at that time, so I told him after the free throws that he would come in." Collins original 10-day contrract will expire Tuesday and the Nets plan to sign him to a second deal on Wednesday.dddddddddddd A Nets player from 2001-08, he has appeared in all five games since he signed on Feb. 23. Paul Pierce and Shaun Livingston each scored 14 points for the Nets, who were without starting centre Kevin Garnett for a second straight game because of back spasms. "Mentally, the Bulls have really had our numbers," Pierce said. "To be honest, if I was them Id feel like when they come play the Nets, they feel like they could beat us every time. I think the guys really had pride tonight to say, You know were tired of getting pushed around by the Bulls." Joakim Noah managed just 10 points, six rebounds and one assist for the Bulls, a day after finishing with 13 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds in his fifth career triple-double. The All-Star centre rolled his right ankle early in the second half of that game and said it hurt after the game, but he was determined to play Monday in his hometown. The Bulls had dominated the first two meetings and beaten the Nets four straight times, but Brooklyn controlled this one most of the way in improving to 12-2 at home since Chicagos rout here on Christmas Day. "We smashed them in the mouth twice, its never going to be easy to come in to tough-minded team and do it again," Bulls forward Taj Gibson said. The Nets scored the first eight points, the last one on Williams free throw after Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau screamed his way to a technical foul after calling time. Their lead grew to 15, but the Bulls trimmed it to 27-18 by the end of the first quarter. Brooklyn led 50-42 at halftime, and Chicago started the second half just as bad as the first. The Nets scored the first seven to take a 57-42 lead when Williams set up Mason Plumlee for a dunk. "I think we had all intentions to play hard, but like I say, it didnt show," Augustin said. "Being down early, you cant come start the game down, you cant start the second half down, so that was our big mistakes, and then the turnovers killed us." NOTES: The Nets 19 steals were their most since finishing with 20 against Indiana on March 21, 1989. ... Brooklyn hadnt scored more than 23 points in a period against Chicago this season and surpassed that in both the first (27) and third (26). cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
