BERKELEY, Calif. -- A one-time high school McDonalds All-American, Jabari Bird is a senior at California now, and ready to unveil the best of his game.Bird scored a career-high 25 points to lead Cal over Cal Poly 81-55 on Saturday night, and he sounded determined to keep his play at a high level.Its a waste of time to put in all that work in the summer to get ready for the season and then the lights come on and you just dont show (up), Bird said. Ive been trusting my game this year. I look to keep it going.Bird always has paired a rare combination of athleticism and 3-point shooting ability, but injuries and inconsistency have prevented him from reaching his full blossom. Cal coach Cuonzo Martin sees a change in Bird.Its his senior year, hes more settled, hes relaxed, Martin said. He understands what he wants to do as a basketball player and knows what we need from him.Bird shot 10 for 16 from the field, including 4 of 7 from 3-point distance, and eclipsed his previous best of 24 points. It was his second 20-point performance in four outings since returning from a six-game absence because of back spasms.Obviously, hes an explosive scorer, an explosive athlete, said Ivan Rabb, the Bears pre-season All-America forward, who scored 18 points before fouling out. We need him out there. He plays the game the right way. Hes not selfish. Weve got to continue to play together as a team. We did that tonight.Charlie Moore had 10 points and five assists for Cal (9-2), which shot 53 percent.Kyle Toth made four 3-pointers and finished with 14 points to lead Cal Poly (5-6). Victor Joseph and Ridge Shipley added 12 points apiece for the Mustangs, who shot just 32 percent.The Bears were sluggish offensively for stretches early and trailed 19-13 with 8:30 in the first half before outscoring the Mustangs 21-3 the rest of the period. Rabb scored on a post-up move to give Cal the lead for good at 23-22, and by halftime the Bears were up 34-22.They have NBA first-round draft picks that will be playing in the three-letter league, and I love it, said Cal Poly coach Joe Callero. I think its a great game for our players and coaches to help us continue to tweak things that we have to improve.BIG PICTURECal: The Bears nudged past a team from their glory days by winning their 27th consecutive home game at Haas Pavilion. That eclipsed the school record of 26 straight home wins, achieved by legendary former coach Pete Newells team from Dec. 27, 1958 through Dec. 16, 1960. Those Bears won the 1959 NCAA championship and lost in the 1960 national title game.Theres a lot of tradition and history at Cal. A lot of great players have come through, Martin said. We wont talk about numbers. We just fight for our home court. This Cal team has not lost at home since an 80-69 defeat to Oregon on Feb. 25, 2015.Cal Poly: The Mustangs were outrebounded for the eighth time in 10 games against Division I opponents. Cal Poly entered the game ranked 320th nationally with a minus-5.2 rebound margin, but the Mustangs actually battled well on the boards before Cal finished with a scant 39-38 advantage. It was an encouraging sign for Cal Poly, which needs to keep it up in order to compete near the top of the Big West Conference.AN EARLY ENDORSEMENTCallero saw the Bears play early in the season when both Bird and Rabb were either out or struggling with injuries. Cal is back to full strength now, he said. They really look like a team that could compete with the top four in the Pac-12. They are building an NCAA (tournament) resume.UP NEXTCalifornia gets a chance to test themselves against one of the nations elite teams when they host No. 13 Virginia on Wednesday. Cal traveled last season to Charlottesville, Virginia, falling 63-62 in overtime.Cal Poly stays in Pac-12 mode when they visit Washington on Tuesday. Cal Poly lost 96-74 at Arizona State on Nov. 13.Dikembe Mutombo Jersey . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona. Tyler Lydon Nuggets Jersey . -- Derrick Rose shook off poor shooting early to hit clutch shots late and Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 104-95 preseason victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. http://www.nuggetsproshop.com/Michael-Porter-Nuggets-Jersey/ .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. Dikembe Mutombo Nuggets Jersey . They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. Nikola Jokic Nuggets Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human.Things reached a boiling point in the quarterfinals of OGN APEX as European teams EnVyUs and Rogue engaged in all out war. Ronnie Talespin DuPree, the only American, left the EnVyUs lineup and was replaced by Thai player Pongphop Mickie Rattanasangohod.Mickie is an important mention in this team roster swap as he was absolutely key to understanding how in the world EnVyUs were able to upset Rogue in a 3-2 series. He played D.Va on every single map, had an almost perfect usage of her Defense Matrix to protect his team from several Pharah Barrages, and kept his teammates alive long enough to get their ultimates through safely. On both the second and third maps of Kings Row and Lijiang Tower, both teams put up incredible defense and moved to sudden death maps for each.Continuing the journey of upsets, South Korean teams Kongdoo Uncia and Lunatic-Hai occupied the final quarterfinals slot, and while everyone expected Lunatic-Hai to advance, they were cut down in their prime by rising stars Kongdoo Uncia. Kongdoo has looked better and better with each game played during APEX, andd their 3-0 over Lunatic-Hai (whove been called the strongest team in South Korea for a very long time), is the proof that their journey was a success.dddddddddddd The path to the semifinals is the fruit of their labors. Leaving it as a 3-0 sweep, however, does nothing to describe the thorny path taken, as every battle on Lijiang Tower, Numbani and Temple of Anubis was so close between the two that it could easily have been a Lunatic-Hai victory.With these two upsets, the two teams (and the two favorites to win), that fought in the finals of the APAC Premier in Shanghai are knocked out of the tournament, and the final four teams now have a shot to claim victory. On Wednesday, Nov. 23, the first semifinals match will feature South Korean teams Afreeca Freecs Blue versus BK Stars, both coming off of hot streaks. On Friday, Nov. 25, EnVyUs and Kongdoo Uncia will also take their momentum from today in hopes of clinching a victory at the finish line. ' ' '
